oh, that will really help the economy....example, let's see, Citigroup itself has already let go 100,000 employees, and now Obama wants them to fire another 100,000

it may be popular initially, but we'll see how popular he is when unemployment remains above 9% come Nov 2010

and where is Obama's treasury Secretary...didn't Geithner used to run the FOMC?  the dude has become a total political hack

This, or a hundred other things. OMG, the market's been in a two day slump since Brown was elected. Roll Eyes

dude, get real, bank's stocks were down 4-6% today and the overall market was down 2%...you can write off yesterday's activity to normal market behavior, but today was mostly about Obama.

Looks like it is going to take Barney Frank to temper this.

It's amazing how Obama would risk killing the recovery just for a short term populous boost.

This is great news. Glass-Steagall never should have ended in the first place.

yeah, I'm sure the 50% of Americans who own stocks are just loving it.

Interestingly, Barney Frank has come out against this today and says it would lead to a "Fire Sale".

Instead of regulating the derivatives, they're going to regulate companies.  Unbelievably STUPID!....at least Barney Frank understands.

I can't believe we have to wait for Barney Frank to kill this in committee.
