President Barack Obama’s attempt to tighten the government’s reins on Wall Street is losing momentum as banks gain traction against his proposal for increased consumer protections and key lawmakers question his call for standardized financial products.

The banks are more powerful then the government. Just watch and see.
The Fed will never get audited either. Just watch and see.

I think there is a full 290 sponsors in the House to audit the Feds... which means "supposedly" it passes the house since that's all they need... where it goes in the Senate however isn't really known... that is where things get interesting... who is paid by corporations and who isn't... guess we will find out... but what will mindless sheep do even if they had the knowledge... already Pres. Obama is against ANY transparency of the Federal Reserve... and what does he want? Give them Federal Power... huh? Give a PRIVATE CORPORATION, federal power? Huh? WTF... I think Obama blew it big time... If I was president, I would of done things differently...

1) Economic Recovery - need more jobs... not government jobs, PRIVATE sector jobs...
2) Government Reform - you got to fix the corruption
3) Corporate Reform - you got to make REAL regulations and get rid of anti-competition regulations...
4) Immigration Reform - if our borders aren't secure, what's the point of calling it USA? That's what borders are for...
5) Health Care Reform - yeah, those health insurance are dirty ba$tards... we need to get rid of pre-existing conditions and lots of other stuff..

Those would be my top 5 objectives...

But he isn't listening to the people. The people have one cahnce every four years to vote for a number of corrks on two parties list or some nut case.I don't see hoiw we have any real choice really especaily anyone now paying more taxes than they consume in services.That will be the downfall of this coutnry ;too many freeloaders living off others .
