'Greed' is like gravity; ubiquitous and ignored at your own risk. I am always amazed that any one would believe that political self interest (aka 'greed') is somehow more noble than enlightened self interest. I see no evidence of such.
Obama has made a career of pride and envy. From NY Times' Jodi Kantor in her book "The Obamas"
Or as key advisor Valerie Jarrett observed
Obama is the law professor who never published, the community advisor who never organized anything, the state senator who voted 'present', a man who never worked a day in the private sector. He never built or ran anything in his life other than a campaign. Why would anyone be surprised that when he redesigned 1/6 of the economy, he discovers 3 years after the fact that "insurance is difficult"? He and his parties' leadership rammed this through without understanding it or reading it, because they could. Indeed, Obama can truly say "he built this". They own it and their cries for help now ring hollow. Oh for the halcyon days when "dissent was the highest form of patriotism"....
The stunning revisionism of that one phrase calls into question the credibiliy of anything else you could say, doc. Sorry. You got that from the right wing press, not history. I'll give you the beneifit of the doubt and assume you were awfully distracted when ACA was "rammed through."
