Recall how Cheney was forced to divest his Halliburton interest before taking office as VP? It was considered a conflict of interest. If Obama has a financial stake in a company that benefits from legislation he has the power to influence and approve, that is a conflict of interest.

Cheney wasn’t forced to divest his Halliburton stock - he willingly did so. CO

Exactly. I thought all investments by POTUS and VPOTUS had to go into blind trusts for the duration of their term in office.

Quite....I thought Presidents (and VPs?) had to move their assets into blind trusts for the duration of their term in office.
