Weekly Address: Financial Reform to Protect Consumers

The President explains his plan to address one of the major causes of the current economic crisis — the breakdown of oversight leading to widespread abuses in the financial world. The new Consumer Financial Protection Agency will have the sole job of looking out for the financial interests of ordinary Americans by banning unfair practices and enforcing the rules. This is a cornerstone in Americas new economic foundation. (Public Domain)

    No, Mr. President …
    No, Mr. President your vision and goals are to stuff your pocket with as much cash and indebt the American people as much as you possibly can before we all die. It is you, who think that the president is doing great that are fooled, this neo-con nazi like regime will end, the people will find out and you will be taken out of power! Take the fluoride out of our water system, stop putting diseases and cancer into our mandatory immunizations, and stop sending all our money to elitists, end the fed!

    It’s so funny how those who dislike the President’s ideas the most are the ones who watch and comment the most; and are also the most uneducated and uninformed.

    Great job President, keep up the good work. Your vision and direction is correct for the future.

    Keep spreading the …
    Keep spreading the word Americans about a corrupt US government and the puppet Obama. Look up the citizens arrest laws for your state and find out what laws your representatives have violated. Look for video evidence of that violation and file criminal complaints if you’re uncomfortable performing a citizens arrest. It is our right and duty to clean up the lying, cheating and stealing. Look up the most corrupt politicians for 2006, 2007, 2008. Obama, pelosi and the inner circe are in the top 10

    Top Democrats are …
    Top Democrats are creating Bubble & Burst Economy one after another! The proof is there if you open your eyes & look! I don’t have to ask Democrats what they would do Because they keep using the same play book & plays over & over again! These plays fool the masses Because the masses want & need to believe in the Democrats games! After all everyone make a bit of money but then everything goes bust then the hate & anger starts! The Democrats love it – it gives them power! Then People buy it again.

    People are waking …
    People are waking up the tides are turning my friends.I have seen lots of Obama voters change there minds about him.And its not a democrat or republican thing and its not about playing sides because there both just as evil as the other(BUSH).It does not matter if you like him or not (OBAMA) because even if you do your still gonna pay the price for all the money he spent because its yours 2 so ignore that he spent your money and be happy right? No stop being a coolaid drinker and wake up !

    Now Obama is going …
    Now Obama is going to now allow banks to manipulating how banks ets their holding! Next time it will be worst than Now! The Democrats & Obama are about to create another bubble & burst economy right now! This will make Democrats look good for a few years “WOW the economy is good” till the bubble burst again! They hope that happens after they are out of office or hopefully after being re-elected! If Republicans are in office its their mess! If Democrats are in office its -you the peoples mess!

  21. DDABCXYZ says:

    “YES WE CAN” Means …
    “YES WE CAN” Means You the people can fix the the problems “you people caused!” The Democrats & Obama blame YOU the people! NOT BIG MONEY that helped them in to power! Obama helped AIG -Not you & me! Obama helped GM -Not you & me! Obama helps himself & his friends -Not you & me! Obama steam rolled in & took over the money grab & is helping all their BIG MONEY Friends out -Not you & me! Real Democrats are being fooled! This Democrat party is not the party you remember! Only Change for the worse!

  22. DDABCXYZ says:

    At first this …
    At first this looked like a good thing! Till- You discovered that it is all fluff & aimed at raising the burden on Americans! At first glance Obama appears to be out to help people. But a closer look reveals that he is giving the credit card companies the right to charge interest from the moment you purchase a item! You will already owe interest on top of the items you purchased -even if you pay the item off at the end of the month! Before there were grace periods -not now! Thanks to Obama!

    Here’s a debate for …
    Here’s a debate for you Mr.President. Why not allow us to keep our money. Keep the Government ot of our bank accounts. Quit giving Billions of our money to stock brokers and Financial Institutions who have already proven THEY can’t handle it properly. Quit giving our money to Auto Makers,since you’re not helping out the mom and pop shops,too. Your own words have said that small businesses are closing their doors,where’s their bail-out? Keep OUR money in the US,not everywhere else in the world.
