Obama does that.
A lot.
People deeply involved in the corporate-led financial disaster are now running the economy.
The corporations responsible for the backbreaking costs and endless denial of care that mean "American health care" now have a captive market worth untold trillions in the long term thanks to Obama.
Obama is a corporatist pure and simple... a corporatist in the sense of "corporations uber alles!"
Which makes the endless shrieking of "socialist" etc etc from the right exceptionally inane... if not simply insane.
The Republican leadership is just jealous because Obama lied his ass into office and used the trust of those who elected him to sell America out to the oligarchs on a scale the R's had only dreamed of.
And Obama doesn't plan to stop anytime soon.
Oligarchy... Yes, to the obvious.
Kind of. If you don't court or pander to some segment of the oligarchy, you don't get elected. The Democrats tend to answer to the Financial Services Industry, the Legal Industry, Entertainment, Public Service Unions and interests, Actual Labor unions, Fossil Energy interests and existing Nuclear Interests.
Republican support is not a disjoint part of the Oligarchy, especially for the fossil energy segment, but differs by their greater dependence on business interests not committed to the control of the democrats.
We live in an oligarchy, but, so what? Who doesn't?
The trick for the American people is to expand the oligarchy with competing interests, such as new energy technologies. It isn't going to be easy, because the existing Oligarchs will fight anything that compromises their core business, tooth and nail.
Why isn't this obvious to the American people?

What the Wall St bill is all about. A war on entrepreneurship and creativity continues in the name of stability and the status quo, created by the same people who purport to hate the big companies in the first place:

That's why companies like Goldman Sachs and Mattel just love gov't regulation. It's huts them a little bit, but anybody wanting to come up with new ideas and compete doesn't have a chance.
