Obama and his administration is the most compromised, most bought out by BANKING and WALL STREET of any previous administration! They put him in power!

www.rollingstone.com...

How can Obama propose to oversee BIG BANKING when he and his administration is busy in bed with the BIG BANKERS?

Obama is paid off, Geitner is paid off big time!

Whatever Obama is trying to do here is bound to be construed by America as nothing more than another Obama s...w America scheme!

I wonder if the right wing will ever get a visit from the reality fairy? All I heard from 2000-2009 was how every republican screwup was the previous democrat's fault and all I've heard since 2009 is how every republican screwup is the following democrats fault.

We just witnessed history's largest transfer of wealth from the taxpayer to the banking industry under the Bush administration and the only condition placed on the money was that there be no conditions placed on the money. The bailouts STOPPED under Obama and everything they've done since then has been to try to get the taxpayer's money back. And it's working. Banks are puking up the money.

I don't care what Matt Taibbi dreamed up to try to cover the republican party's ass, the facts are plain for anyone to see.

Obama's popularity is less than 23%?

Still waiting on that reality fairy I see.

Now we're on common ground! I'd like nothing better than to see exactly that happen.

They sure are a reactionary bunch. He's got to do something to stop the bleeding after that loss in Massachusetts, I suppose, and what better way to earn a few cheap points with the public than to kick the banks. As a matter of political strategy, though, its brilliant. Where else can a group of idiots dictate business practices to another group of idiots and have the general public believe that its a positive step?

I'm sure this will turn out well.

Aren't both the republicans and the democrats owned by the bankers, Goldman in particular? They are the biggest contributor to both parties and almost all the treasury secretaries are from Goldman or JP Morgan. Tim is, Hank was and the last President to go against the bankers and the fed was JFK. Even if he is serious I don't like his chances of becoming anything other than a martyr that could influence a full scale revolution and even that's unlikely as the MSM would try to blame it one someone else.
