The president praised the House action Friday, and called on Congress to act swiftly to get the bill to the White House for his signature."The crisis from which we are still recovering was born not only of failure on Wall Street, but also in Washington," Obama said.

Not a single repub voted yes for the bill. I guess they don't like oversight and regulations imposed on big banks and Wall St. firms. Hmmmmm, I guess they don't care about protecting Main St. from the reckless behavior of Wall St. Typical.... Rethugs think they have a plan, vote NO on everything important to dems and Obama and if all fails they will be off the hook. They think this spells victory for them in 2010 but look out rethugs, it's all gonna backfire on you! The people know what you are doing, it's all political for you, you care NOTHING about this country and the good people. We ARE NOT STUPID. We are aware of the games you play!
