4. Obama's question to repukes - how long should we wait...

If they have the same answer, I guess we're truly fucked.

5. And then there is this line:

"The House has already passed financial reform with many of these changes. And the lobbyists are already trying to kill it. Well, we cannot let them win this fight. And if the bill that ends up on my desk does not meet the test of real reform, I will send it back."

Given that he defined "reform" when it came to healthcare as mandatory payments to the for profit insurers, I'm not expecting much from his financial "reform".

And really, we don't need reform. We need to reinstitute the regulations FDR developed and that protected us for 70 years.
