The election business is nonsense, Waters' imagination is quite amazing.
"Ties" does not equal "beholden." I find it very amusing that just a month ago, people like Arch were saying that Wall Street clearly hated Obama and his policies because "look at the Dow!" Now the story is that Wall Street is Obama's puppeteer. The truth is much more in the middle of those two extremes.
