President Obama going to NYC Thursday to discuss financial reform.

Oooh, go get 'em! This must be the start of the outreach, into the lion's den. ;)

President Obama will discuss financial regulatory reform at New York City's Cooper Union on Thursday, White House press secretary Robert Gibbs announced. From his statement:

"On Thursday, President Obama will travel to New York City where he will deliver remarks at Cooper Union on Wall Street reform. Almost two years after the crisis hit and almost one year after the Administration first laid out a detailed plan for holding Wall Street accountable and protecting consumers, he will call for swift Senate action. The crisis has already wiped out trillions of dollars in family wealth and cost over 8 million jobs. The President will also remind Americans what is at stake if we do not move forward with changing the rules of the road as a part of a strong Wall Street reform package.

"More details will be announced when they become available."

Yes, I know this is WEIRD but it's also VERY VERY VERY FUNNY!!! (and ultimately, that's all that matters)

I don't think I even want to know what this is about.

.... and your thread gave me an excuse to hide it a little bit! lol

There is a whole genre of "Obama on a unicorn" artwork to be found on the internet ... Google it. It's pretty funny.
