Yes, that article is mind blowing. Unfortunately it was published in Rolling Stone, meaning that there's a large portion of the country that would refuse to read if given the chance as well as some who wouldn't believe it if they did. As far as the Obama comment is concerned, he is lockstep with the Bush admin on more than just financial policy, he's also followed their lead on torture, search and seizure etc. The emperor truly has no clothes.
