  • President Obama, appoint Elizabeth Warren as Director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Don't cave in to political expediency that would co-opt and marginalize the role of the CFPB in implementing real reform in our financial institutions.

    Do it as a recess appointment if necessary. This is important and will demonstrate that you walk the talk. Anything less and you lose the mandate that elected you in 2008.

  • Signing the Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act

    August 1 ,2010 President Obama signs into law the most sweeping reforms of our financial system since the Great Depression and the strongest consumer protections in history in a ceremony at the Ronald Reagan Building in Washington,

  • Well done, Barack Obama!

    For all you haters: It's clear that you want to bring down the President, because he's black and/or you can't accept that he's a good guy. The more you hate, the more pathetic you appear.

  • Americans are stupid. Moronic people who can't seem the grasp the concept that Obama is trying to HELP this country. Bush was the one who ruined everything. Jesus, How idiotic are Americans?

  • @TheAdamStabelli1 I think most Americans are masochists, that's the only way to describe our odd behavior. We love presidents who want to do us harm and bash presidents who try to help us. Makes no sense.

  • @TheAdamStabelli1

    Yup, what's that old saying? "The road to Hell is paved with good intentions" the Left/Marxists in America have wanted to do what Obama and the Democrat Congress did for years. And now it is here in all it's glory. Borrow and spend borrow and spend. Whoopie! Can't wait 2 see the unemployment figures. I reallyhope Obama forces them to say it's low when everybody already knows that 400,000 folks have put in 1st time requests 4 the past 2 yrs. Plus millions of 99'ers.Happy B'day

  • what you Americans do affects the rest of us on this planet - notions of "small government" are utterly outdated. Take responsibility - we are one world not a bunch of small yankee businessmen in the US. Wake up rednecks - Obama is the best thing that has happened in decades and we are watching yo'all.

  • @michaelsahaja America is an independent nation. we choose our own form of government.

  • hip hip . . .

  • oh hes done so much to fuck us and our kids over by borrowing money on us we dont have, he forces through any bill he can with bullshit executive orders. sets the rules in opposition to give the government more power by blocking out our constitutional rights. are you guys fucking blind? or do you just love the smell of horse shit?

  • @bigA2tall You're the typical Fox viewer...ignorant, misinformed and hate-filled. Spewing shallow, spoonfed hyperbole to people who know better only makes you look like a fool buddy. Pass that along to your hero Sarah Palin.

  • @LuvChaos

    So now, 1 year later Obama is a huge failure and he has spent weeks threatening Grandma with no SSecurity check and the Military with no checks. He thinks that when the House of Representatives brings up Bills, debates them and then votes on them is "wasting precious time". Plus this very Bill he signed was supposed to stop hedge fund guys like Soros from doing bad things.But now Soros has gotten out of this Bills laws by selling out of the hedge fund business. U still think O'sgood?

  • @btwall60 That's pathetic trolling, even for the likes of you. Take the hyper-partisan claptrap over to the Teabagger blogs. You'll find plenty of loonies that you can bond with. Thanks for the laugh!

  • @LuvChaos

    Oh, Mr. HopeyChangey didn't threaten Grandma? You can have your own opinion, but you cannot have your own set of facts. Fact: Owebummer mae open threats about not getting SS checks out to Grandma AND not paying the Military. For that he gets my "Lowest of the Low" award. You can give it to him. It's a big pile of crap in a bedpan.

  • @LuvChaos

    Ya see, you Marxists are always talking about "civility" etc when on the Left civility is the last thing on your list. In recent weeks the House of Representatives have been called "hostage takers" etc. Yet, the TEA Party which stands for Taxed Enough Already has been reduced by you Lefty lowlifes to teabagger which is a degrading sex term. However, I think you should keep using it, it does not reflect on the TEA Party it reflects on how lowlife folks like You and Rachel Maddow are.

  • @btwall60 Again, check out the Teabagger blogs, fruitcake. They speak plenty of monkey talk like yours! You'll love em! LOL

  • @LuvChaos

    Another Shill heard from.

  • @btwall60 Another right wing ape makes an ass of himself on YouTube. Congrats!

  • @LuvChaos

    Gee whiz! It is always the Lefties like you with the animal comparisons! Wait till we see what the new unemployment figures are, should be allot of fun. We can see what the media does with the numbers. From regular reports, 400,000 more folks put in for unemployment bennies last month alone. Let's see if it hits the magcial number of TEN yea 10% unemployment from our Prez who said "Gimme a Trillion bucks and it won't go above 8%" Please, attempt to be civil. :)

  • @btwall60 Get lost with the right wing monkey babble. Save it for your next teabagger rally. You like knocking on doors and running too, you silly troglodyte? Cya forever doofus! LOL

  • 4:41, I can practically hear joe biden say in his head "this is a big fucking deal", lol

  • inb4 off-topic remarks against either party

  • obama is grate warier fighting the economy to move forward and i am so happy that we are heeding the right way.

  • DANGER TO ALL FACEBOOK USERS! Your account may be in possible danger because of a new facebook account hack someone made! Check out video here. /watch?v=XrCqBgtejvY

  • @Roselalcianas Hah Hah you use facebook.

  • Are you better off than you were 4 trillion dollars ago?

  • DANGER TO ALL FACEBOOK USERS! Your account may be in possible danger because of a new facebook account hack someone made! Check out video here. /watch?v=XrCqBgtejvY

  • The minimum wage in Australia is $15.00 an hour with health care for all. People live in nice homes and apartments not rusty trailers. You don't see homeless bums on the street. People have a nice retirement and the kids go to college. Workers take most of the summer off,paid. There are not millionaire doctors on every corner next to the PAYDAY Loan scam offices or CEO"S raking in millions and bonuses while the workers are paid crap.

    Boy, the Republicans in the US have really screwed us.

  • Don't let these crazy people sway your instinct. Obama is our president. He's like a loving parent protecting his children. I know you can't say this about all of our past leaders. But this is why President Obama was elected by an overwhelming majority. To CHANGE corruptness and dishonesty in our government!

  • @ztnark12 .... great post, thanks!!

  • @ztnark12

    And so, 1 yr ago you made this post. Obama has spent the past week or so threatening Grandma that he, personally, will not let the SSecurity checks out. He is directly scaring Grandma on purpose & also scaring the Military folks on purpose by saying he will not be able to pay them either. Also, this Bill was supposed to put people like George Soros in check by making him be under this law. Well guess what? Soros just cashed out and is now NOT SUBJECT TO THIS LAW ANYMORE. Comments?

  • @ztnark12

    Yup, those nutty "crazy" people that actually want Owbummer & his pals from spending us into oblivion. As soon as the "debt ceiling' Bill it, the borrowed $ that was quickly added onto our brand new shiny Bill was a few more HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS OF $'S. The Republicans/Tea Party are trying to stop them from borrowing so much $. but obviously nothing works. So with this passed O&the Dems are gonna spend into oblivion. It will be up to 6trillion$s in only 3 years. Incredible.

  • We do not need any bureaucrat to "protect us" from Wall Street, we need to protect ourselves by restraining our own government. Our Constitution states it if our government no longer serves its purpose or its people it is our DUTY to alter or abolish it.

  • @madhatter0110 That's not Constitution, it's the Declaration of Independence. Obviously you're a Fox Viewer...

  • @Orphox Well excuuuse me. Regardless of semantics, it is the people who should be in control of their government, not the other way around. Being an advocate of smaller government, freedom, and against bureaucratic regulation does not make someone a Fox viewer any more than standing in a car dealership showroom makes someone a car.

  • Fredgenn1 - Check out the video on that youtube channel it will show you how you can hack anyones facebook account really easy.

  • sheep sheep sheep is all i see. I am a sheep herder. i will show you the way. i am jesus christ. follow me.

  • obama, fuck you.

    

  • @sharinganclan213 and double fuck you!

  • @cobrompton and triple fuck you? is this a game or what? How can anyone who believes in liberty actually support this president. He supports assassnations of amerian citizens, war aganst iran, sanctions against nations...

  • @sharinganclan213 HE also supports the aliens to eat our brains.

  • @InterntzTrollerinz I guess you don't care baout his policies, rather you think he is "cool"

    

  • With the signing of this bill did they put the selling of derivatives on an open market?

  • Another rung on the socialist ladder. Another slap in the face of the founding fathers. Does everyone work for the government yet? The time to stand up is now. If you work for the government at city/state or fed level you are part of the problem! Join US in breaking free of socialism and join US on the front lines of freedom! Be part of the solution and end socialism!

  • @cicreagan Check this out. Socialism is an economic and political theory based on public or common ownership and cooperative management of the means of production and allocation of resources. Obama has done none of that. He has not nationalized any thing. He has merely protected the people. Why are americans so confused about socialism. Governement is not an insistition that lets the country run wild. It's an institution ensures that interest of the majority is protected. Don't be confused.

  • Wow if the highest is 360p and very clear, imagine HD..DAMN

  • whoever falls for this jackass and those 125 bankers that are creating the NWO are failing not only freedom, but each other.

  • @K15Beef

    Take off the tinfoil hat and rejoin reality please.

  • "Wall Street Reform Bill" puts the Consumer Protection Bureau inside the Federal Reserve System?

    .

    This is the most ignorant nation on earth. The un-Federal Reserve is a cartel of bankers. Those bankers OWN most banks in the US. So BANKERS are now in charge of protecting themselves. "But when a long train of abuses and usurpations... ...reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government..."

  • thats a lot of clapping

    boring

  • only until we loose faith in our elected leaders, then we could start seeing CHANGE. Republicans, Democrats, all payed for by the same people who pollute the environment, who start wars, and who takes away your freedoms. Government stopped serving us a long time ago. Stop giving us false hope, with this bill that won't do a damn thing, the alleged "cap" on the oil spill, and stop making false promises. We deserve better than this.

  • @xchainlinkx Ya they stopped serving us at 1913. This reform will give the bankers even more power.

  • President Obama has been doing so much good for this country while some people are just trying to put him down it doesn't matter what he does just never good enough! Amazing how hateful some people can be. Finally we have President that have been trying hard to make things better for this country. I know so many people that I know all are so impress with Obama for all the problem that he has to take over from the last administration, he has been doing a very good job. God Bless America.

  • @Seasonchange1

    He's actually digging un into a bigger hole than we were in before.

    A much bigger hole.

    Hes a nice guy, im sure he has good intentions, but he's doing the exact opposite of what he should economically speaking.

  • @treysparker I completely agree. Our government has never made anything more efficient, more cost effective, or more beneficial to we the people. The very cause of the booms and busts are due to excessive regulation, market manipulation by government and the Federal Reserve, and government expansion. The remedy is not more government intervention but the elimination of the Federal Reserve and other forces within our government that artificially manipulate the market.

  • @Seasonchange1 your another pony...get in line with the rest of the blabbering hypnotised fuckin illetrate morons in this country.... "oh obama your doing soooo much better than our old presidents..bla bla , may god be withy ou and your family bla bla" this shit makes me sick....ALL SO HYPONTIZED AND BRAINWASHED...ESPECIALLY WHEN THE NWO IS RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER..NOBODY CARES..YOU EVER HEAR "DONT BELIEVE EVERYTHING YOU READ ON NEWSPAPER OR HEAR ON TV" POLITICS- BIGGEST DECEIPT NEXT 2RELIGION

  • @Seasonchange1 He has not only been taking responsibilty from the Bush Admin. but from the era of Ronald Reagan, since this whole financial fiasco started. God Bless Obama

  • @falconpaaawwwnch ....I agree with you. I still never understand about all the people who talk bad about Obama and his policy. What is the republican idea of making things better? There are not many choices to fix all the problem right now other than the way Obama and his people are trying to help people in this country to get through the tough time. You are so right , it took many years for us to come to this point, so it will takes years for us to get out of it.

  • @Seasonchange1 Another point to note is that the people who are criticizing Obama didn't have a damn thing to say about the fraud, corruption and massive spending that took place over the last decade. All of a sudden they're pretending to give a damn about this stuff today. They're full of crap, and they have about as much credibility as Bernie Madoff and BP.

  • The fact that these retards who have their fingerprints all over the current economic situation are now the ones trying to "fix it is an abomination.

    Like thousands of pages of more bullshit is what we need.

  • who voted for this idiot ??

  • @thedecider1984 well you want an other bush to be president ? you sure love 9/11 hahahhahahahah

  • Get an education people. The deregulation of the banking industry caused your down fall. Allowing Corporations the same status as people allowed that power to run over all of you. I hear you yelling democracy, however what is a democracy when you have 2 wolves and a sheep deciding what to have for dinner???

  • @ENDtheFED2012 too bad 2012 is end of world the next president is doomed :o

  • @theash3s the next president isnt doomed you fuckin sheep.no matter who is elected is hand groomed by the "secret ruling elite" to run the countrya dn world into absolute catastorophic tyranny!god its crazy...i come on youtube/any site where people can put their input...and its 90% of you sit there and praise obama, praise these people who really dont CARE ABOUT US!! you think the president makes descions? no..cuz if HE STARTED TO WORK FOR US AND NOT ILLUMINATI INTREST HED BE ASSINATED!

  • @ENDtheFED2012 hate tobreak it to you....RON PAUL IS IN THE SAMEBOAT AS ANY POLITICIAN....CMON NOW...YOU DONT THINK THE RULING ELITE WOULD LEAVE ANY KNOW UNTIED SO TO SAY WOULD YOU?? EVEN RON PAUL KNOWS THE PLAN FOR NWO AND IS ON ONTHE WHOLE THING....NO POLITICIAN IS GOOD AT HEART WHATSOEVER....YOU CANT AND WONT BECOME APOLITIC IN AMERICA UNLESS YOUR DOWN WITH THE "EVIL AGENDA" THEY GOT GOING..

  • @ENDtheFED2012 finally someone with a brain

  • I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around [the banks] will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. - cont'd -

  • @ENDtheFED2012 EVER ALLOW??? DUDE ARE YOU LIVING UNDER A ROCK? WE BEEN "LETTING THEM" RUN SHIT SINCE 1913 ....SHIT DIDNT JUST HAPPEN OVERNIGHT..IT DIDNT START WITH BUSH, OR CLINTON OR SENIOR BUSH..AND NEITHER DID THIS SHIT START BECAUSE OF DEMOCRAT, OR REPUBLICAN SO EVERYBODY ENOUGH WITH THE FINGERPOINTING!! THIS PLAN TO DESTROY THE AMERICAN ECONOMY HAS BEEN INPLACE FOR ALMOST 100 YEARS..BE SMART, READ BOOKS, DO SOME RESEARCH..95% OF YOU ARE IGNORANT AND DONT KNOW THE FACTS!!

  • cont'd - The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs. - THOMAS JEFFERSON -

  • This economic recession would not have happened without the creation of it by the Democrats though Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae, and the HUD. It would not have happened if Barney Frank had not forced banks to go against common sense in making loans. This law protects no one. It lets the government fail in its regulation, as it did in the Gulf and with the New York Federal Reserve. National Socialists want to nationalize credit. This is a first step.

  • @JohnLloydScharf YOUR A FUCKIN FOOL...STOP BLAMING DEMS, ITS BOTH DEMS, REPUBLICANS, LIBERALS CONSERAVATIVES..YOUR JUST A SHEEP WHO SITS THERE LISTENS TO CSPAN AND BELIEVES EVERYTHING THE GOVERNMENT HAS "MISINFORMED" YOU ON BECAUSE "BIG BROTHER, OUR BELOVED GOVERNMENT" WOULD NEVER "LIE" TO US RIGHT?? THIS PLAN TO DESTORY NOT JUST THE AMERICAN ECONOMY BUT TO DESTROY EVERYONES SO THEY CAN MERGE THE WORLDS CURRENCY ALONG WITH GOVERNMENT AS ONE HAS BEEN IN PLACE SINCE THE FEDERAL RESERVE CAME 1913!

  • @MrKnowItAll1987 LLLOOOOK AT ME I TYPE IN CAPS IM SPEC IAL WEEEE WEEE BLAH BLAH BLAH

  • @MrKnowItAll1987 I am not your brother and your language is vulgar at best. Try to learn punctuation, some of the English language, and history. I will get back to you, perhaps, when you do.

  • Gobama

  • @JohnnyZina .... I agree!!

  • Ok, I personally see this bill as a good thing, but I don't want to be caught up into one point of view. Can anyone please tell me how it's not good?

  • Thank you President Obama and congress for Wall Street Reform!!! This is yet another victory for the Obama adminstration and the american people!!!!

  • @markstevens36 YOU FUCKINI GNORANT BLIND "ONLY SEE WHATYOU WANT TO SEE" AMERICAN SHEEP

  • @markstevens36 Idiot

  • Suburbanites who blast the most thugged out rappers **** in the car systems their parents bought them, are way too scared to go to poor areas after it gets dark or always make half-jokes like "OMG WE'RE GONNA DIE" when they do, yet still criticize/make fun of how ignorant the culture of poverty is despite having avoided interaction with impoverished people for most of their lives.

  • Charging to breathe air is what the carbon tax is about.

  • @krucifixhorrorcore air has carbon dioxide, not carbon, dipshit

  • @JohnnyZina whoops, i just farted! i guess im contributing to global warming!

  • I love President Obama and VP Biden!!! My husban loves them two too!!!!!!

  • hell yeah! that sounds like just the bill we needed. its about time somebody made our financial systems understandable and usable for the average citizen and if you think thats a bad thing or socialist you are retarded.

  • AM I THE ONLY ONE GETTIN BUGGED OUT BY THE NEW YOUTUBE LOGO?? THAT SEEMS KINDA SINISTER....AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO HAS IT ON THEIR PAGE?? THE LOGO WITH YOUTUBE AND A GLOBE WITH A LARGE BAND AROUND IT AND NEXT TO IT SAYING "02DAYS"...02DAYS?? WTF

  • @MrKnowItAll1987 You must be new to YouTube! I bet you are the only person on YouTube who doesnt know what the logo is about! ?? It is the YouTube life in a day thing, where people from all over upload their life in a day videos. There are 02 days left to git er done.

  • @groundhog2008 NO...ive used youtube for years...obviously the people "who knew what the logo" meant must be folks who sit on youtube all day..youact like its common knowledge...guess what i have alife and thankfully, i still have ajob so i was just ask a question smartass

  • @MrKnowItAll1987 HI WELCOME TO YOUTUBE.

    1. You will be trolled.

    2. Nothing you can do will stop the trolls.

    3. Youtube will ban your videos for fair use ,but supports my right to troll you.

  • @MrKnowItAll1987 yes, it means 2 days to the apocalypse, start digging a hole for you to put your head in before it happens

  • and not a one of them actually read it. we're being shanghai'd. the silver tongue is a mark of a great leader..............and of a liar

  • While the conservatives are whining and telling fairy tales meddling in conspiracy theories, Obama's gettin' shit done for this country! Keeping your head down and getting the job done is going to pay off in the long run, Mr. President. I can't wait to vote for you in '12!

  • You solve one problem you create ten more. God knows what's in that bill.

  • Good work Mr President...love ya!

  • KEEP GOING, OBAMA !!

  • GO OBAMA GO,KEEP IT UP

  • barack obama....i mean, barry soetoro, why do you lie to us? why are you killing america?

  • @krucifixhorrorcore lol Go fuck yourself.

  • @cobrompton lol, lets see you keep saying that after this whole thing blows up

  • GO Obama!!

  • Finally President Barack Obama signed the Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. Its about time. This is excellent. Wall Street need to be controlled because Wall Street is out of control and abusive and have become corrupted.

    Power to President Barack Obama and government.

  • why does he keep changing pen when he is signing?

  • @CrazyAd88 because they dont work and are dry

  • @chromedout LOL

  • @CrazyAd88 Every bill that is passed; the President signes one letter of his name with a different pen - these pens are then given to different people for their efforts in the bill's passing or the special guests that will receive them. :)

  • @TalonSCA Thanks, I was really confused there :)

  • Obama,2012. Yes we can,yes we did,we will do it again in 2012

  • @RebelRouserMC Funn that your the one telling people we don't know shit. I'm for the government controlling the business in many aspects because right now the businesses are buying the republicans.

  • @ev5unleash ,repubs and democrats,are two heads on the same monster,its a delution..if your for government running any aspect of your life,you are an idiot!

  • Pretender Obama grandstands with more political chicanery by promoting and supporting conspiratorial doubletalk that changes nothing. Government needs to Nullify and Eliminate the entire banking industry! For only then wii society return to the freedom of market economics, and the government returns to political and constitutional sovereignty.

  • The free market is a beautiful thing, but it only works when there is some oversight.

    Clearly, as the global financial collapse of 2008 demonstrated, the financial industry can't work on the honor system. Self-regulation is a nice-sounding idea, but it doesn't work.

  • Heres more political chicanery, conspiratorial double talk that will change Nothing. Government needs to Nullify and Eliminate the entire Banking industry!!

    For only then will society return to the freedom of market economics and the government to political and constitutional sovereignty.

  • obama is a true leader, open your eyes and ears america

  • Keep it up, President Obama ! Proud, so proud of you ! 

  • obama screwing the people over yet again and bending over to the bankers and handing the fed even more power. pathetic! impeach this bought andf paid for treasonous traitor!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Why are people all thinking like Obama is a one term president?? Everyone I know of thinks that He is great, and ready to vote for Him again!! Even those who made the mistake of voting for McClain are glad that Obama got elected instead!! I dont understand the polls, but with the signing of healthcare, and financial reform, He is loved by his people more than ever now!!!!

  • @groundhog2008 He won't be a one term president because his opposition is too hateful and ignorant to appeal to mainstream America. I can guarantee you that when 150 million people watch Obama debate whatever bigoted wingnut the Republicans dig up to run against him in 2012, he'll cruise to re-election victory. America isn't going to take 100 steps backwards by voting the knuckle draggers on the right back into power. No F way.

  • @LuvChaos Out of curiosity I went to one of those tea party meetings, and I was not feeling welcome at all to be there. As I looked around, I noticed that I was the only non-white person there!! Nobody would speak to me, and everyone looked at me in distain! And what they were saying sounded very radical and bigoted to me! It is my firm belief that anybody who is a republican, or is in any way supportive of the teaparty movement is a racist!! They may deny it, but their actions speak loudly!!!

  • @groundhog2008 Absolutely. If they really gave a damn about "Big Government" they would be working hard to repeal The Patriot Act, The Military Commissions Act, Warantless Wiretapping of innocent Americans and protesting the fact that HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS of our tax dollars that have been pissed away down a black hole fighting George W Bush's wars, just for starters. Their "movement" is a COMPLETE FRAUD cooked up to race bait and get Republicans back in power.

  • @groundhog2008 Damn, the same thing happened to me when I went to Rev Wright's church in Chicago in 2002.

  • People cheering on the signing of a bill that they haven't even read. They just like the tittle. I guess people will always judge a book by its cover.

  • @conspiracy777 Why read the bill?? Just knowing that we are sticking it to wall street, and bringinging some of the money profits down to the poor and middle class is enough for me!!!! I am sure that President Obama would not sign a bill that is not good for the American people!!

  • I like how Obama and Biden are wearing blue shirts

  • President Obama: "I'd rather be a great one term president than a mediocre two term president."

    Hear, hear. Keep racking up those victories for the American people instead of worrying about polls, popularity and all the other shallow BS that goes on in DC every day. History will be a lot kinder to you than the traitorous pieces of dog crap that are hell bent on destroying this country, sir.

  • What a great president you guys have! I wish my president was like that.

  • thank you Mr president. No one but you would have thought of having "wall street reform" What a terrific morale booster, our prayers are 4 u.

  • Self congratulatory, diluted and blinded by power and greed.

  • Keep up the good work, Mr. President! I'm so proud of you!

  • We still got a lot of work to do people. Don't pat yourselves on the back just yet. Obama is still working to get us those unemployment benefits, we're managing two wars, we're still in a recession and Obama has still got to tackle immigration reform.

  • @lildwayne21 And Obama even managed to walk on water yesterday too.

    Man you guys expect to much from the messiah.

  • @InterntzTrollerinz You left out that smarmy little "Obamacare" phrase that you traitorous wingnuts always use to show your contempt for dying Americans. How bout we just nuke the Middle East and give more tax cuts to millionaires, John Wayne? Now that there's leadership! Yee Haw!

  • @InterntzTrollerinz I wouldnt be surprised it He did walk on water! President Obama, even tho He is a Black man, has shown to most real Americans who care about the future of this country, that He is the greatest president this country has ever seen!!!!

  • @InterntzTrollerinz Whatever.

  • @lildwayne21

    You are a pathetic, uneducated, collectivist moron...read your history, it repeats itself...

    these measures by Obama will only do one thing...HURT America.

  • @PenultimateRun: Amen

  • Health Care reform, Wall Street Reform, good stuff, but not strong enough. Too compromising, so I doubt their effectiveness. But! I am glad at least this administration is trying, unlike the other party, always stand with big corporations.

  • My President still makes me cry when He speaks!! President Obama put into place safeguards to keep wall street honest in their dealings!! If Obama had been president a couple years sooner, the financial meltdown would have never happened!! Under a Democrat rule, they would have seen the need for financial reform then and done something about it!!!! Americans do not need to forget that all of the financial deregulation occured during a repubican administration!!!! Please, vote Democrat!!!!

  • @groundhog2008 ,dumbass

  • So by guaranteeing no more Federal bailouts to companies too big to fail; this President does not rule out Taking Over companies and turning them directly into Federal insitutions instead of implied de facto Federal institutions.

    Ironic, don't you think?

  • @zippyman818 And what would be wrong with that?

  • Signing ceremony held at the Ronald Reagan Building. How ironic that the President who allowed his financial policies to nearly bankrupt the country has his name on the building with the only President to take real action.

    Ironic, don't you think?

    This is why I couldn't get into Aria today at lunch and had to settle for D.C. Coast in its stead.

  • @zippyman818 YES! I was watching this on C-SPAN and noticed that, and I *really* cracked up. I mentioned that to my friend who was doing my hair, and she didn't get it. Ugh. Reagan=bad, Obama=good, to oversimplify.

  • @sweetandy1234 I hope your hair came out nice!

  • I'm all for financial reform, but this bill was NOT strong enough, as my senator Maria Cantwell from Washington said with her NAY vote against the bill. She was one of the only Democrats, if not the ONLY Democrat, to vote against this bill. It's progress, certainly, but it's not enough. I'm sick and tired of the oppression from the avaricious capitalist pigs on Wall Street and elsewhere.

    Thank you, Obama, for seeing us through this far. Keep up the good work.

  • It's very simple; if people are not decent and take advantage of other than we need rules, I.e. If bankers are not decent we need to regulate them, period. In an ideal world you wouldn't need rules/regulations b/c would trust each other, but we don't live in the ideal world yet.

  • So this is what its like to have a President that works FOR the People instead of against them. God Bless President Obama. We are all witness to History.

  • WAKE UP AMERICA . . .

    There are dates in this country's history that will live in enfamy. They include October 29, 1929 (Black Tuesday), December 7, 1941 (Pearl Harbor), September 11, 2001- and now with the signing of the financial reform bill, you can add July 21, 2010 to this list. This will be the day that will be remembered as the day that the final nail in the Republic was pounded into the coffin.

  • You stated that when the Credit Card Act was passed that NEVER AGAIN would consumers be at the mercy of Big Banks with higher interest rates, etc.Wrong.The interest rates on my c cards doubled(I had not been late on a payment in over 10 yrs)after the law went into effect; I no longer have free checking and my bank is now going to put a fee on every transaction I make. You say there will never be another financial meltdown, Dodd says he doesn't know if this reform is going to work. Which is it?

  • Keep fighting mr.president. Ur the greatest heavy weight fighter ever.

  • Now we need an immigration bill and a (clean) energy bill.

    And please, Mr. President, remember that it is in the best interests of Republicans for there to be NO significant legislation passed on ANYTHING.They're counting on that to get them re-elected. Stop trying to pander to them. If they want to hold up initiatives, let them. People will see even more evidence of what the right wing is about and their filibusters will do nothing but backfire.

  • (Applauds.)

    Please stick to your guns, Democrats (and Mr. President too.) Don't just stop here, but keep rocking. You've got the health care bill, and now this. Keep making those things stronger, and continue to stand up for us, and we'll do our part come election time!

  • if you mean it Mr. President, please appoint Elizabeth Warren as head to the new Consumer Protection Agency. get rid of Geitner and his wall street lobbyists!
