Is it today the President signs the financial reform bill?

This is a major piece of legislation and long overdue. Also, the unemployment extension can be voted on today and signed asap.

Let the obstructionists be damned.

4. Sorry that I have to...

7. It is. The toughest financial regulations since the 30s, and you're not

going to see even one thread about it here.

The obstructionists won't be damned, just look at this board. There's one and only one enemy: Barack Obama.

10. Where's Elizabeth Warren? She's supposed to be there.

Perhaps waiting in the wings...

Or, not.

12. Been watching.

For all the screaming and wailing, the financial reform bill ended up stronger than I would have thought a few months ago, thanks to public pressure, and it will have a positive effect.
