@xaviqaz I'll stand corrected. Clinton DID however veto several versions of this bill before the law that was passed in 1999, which would have become law anyway.
@xaviqaz The Gramm Leach Bliley Act was not signed by Clinton. It became law because it had the support of more than two thirds of both houses of Congress. But Jim Leach is on record saying that the law was a disaster.
@ ckad79 -- You are a pathological liar. Show me the proof that your so-called Fox quote was ever uttered. You don't even believe it yourself, since you formed it as a question! Moreover, are you really naive to believe that CNN, CBS, NBC are any more slanted in their news coverage.
If those 'impartial' networks had demonstrated a modicum of fairness during the Reagan years of the 80s, FOX wouldn't exist.
Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, signed by Clinton in 1999, was the cause of financial crisis according to Obama, Krugman and other socialists. Why did they let Jim Leach be part of Obama´s campaign?
You heard that on Fox News? That's like saying, "I read in the Weekly World News once..." The fact that you reference Fox news just destroys the value of an opinion that you have. Fox News? Isn't that the network that said Palin had foreign experience because Alaska is so close to Russia? haha What a pathetic excuse for "news" and "reporting". I can't believe you'd ever reference anything from that low rent pathetic express of a news network.
I just heard a "reporter" on Fox News report that when Obama criticized the 1999 bill that deregulated the financial industry, he forgot to mention that one of his top supporters, Jim Leach, was the principal author. Somehow, I think they got this a little backwards... I don't think they let any Obama supporters speak at the GOP Convention...
To hell with bipartisanship. Bipartisanship=we get raped by BOTH parties. What we need is NON-PARTISANSHIP, where we REJECT BOTH major parties with the same fervor.
