It's been very difficult for me to find anything about our dear leader, besides the cuteness of his daughters, to like. However, we have finally found common ground.
http://apnews.myway.com/article/20100121/D9DC48300.htmlNow you have to look deep in the article to find it but it's there.
Once you wade through the crap about "the president wants
new federal government powers to limit "
and garbage like "an independent consumer financial protection agency"
You can start to see the direction with "The tougher measures to be announced Thursday aim to
limit speculation by commercial banks and to keep financial institutions from becoming so big that they pose a risk to the overall economic system."
and "endorsing Volcker's proposal to restrict proprietary trading by commercial banks"
And then you'll come to it. The thing I've been talking about since the start of this debacle.
"Such a limit would
separate commercial banks from investment banks, a line that was blurred a decade ago by the repeal of the Depression-era Glass-Steagall Act."
Forget all the populist crap about "fat cats" and and so-called consumer protection agencies. Drop the BS sideshow of CEOs before cameras, err I mean Congress. Reinstate Glass Steagall!
On this I fully support his Obamaness!
