WASHINGTON -(Dow Jones)- President Barack Obama used his weekly radio address to call for an overhaul of U.S. financial regulation, saying reform is needed to rein in bad practices and better protect consumers.

The president urged senators who support the Dodd bill to remain strong and resist opposition from special interest groups. He also promised to use “every tool at my disposal to see these reforms enacted”

This is fascism, not socialism, plain and simple. Until people start recognizing it, it will continue.

That his radio address this weekend was on something other than “health” “care” “reform”, indicates that that bill is a done deal, and now 0 moves on to the next leg of the communist takeover.

“He also promised to use “every tool at my disposal to see these reforms enacted”.”

Next up is cap and tax through the senate, then financial “Reform” (AKA govt takeover) with alien amnesty, then destruction of our military, and to finish it off, a wide reaching gun control bill (basically a ban on all firearms).

Throw in the fairness doctrine and other nasties, and that is what is going to happen before the end of the year. We stop healthcare, we stop the rest of this stuff.

saying reform is needed to rein in bad practices and better protect consumers.

We can expect to see that they will do their utmost to have the decks stacked in their favor by then.

Pushing a population too far, too fast is never a good idea. The Democratic Party, like the Nazi Party in Germany should be banned...

Obama wants reform in the “Financial Industry” which is just code for Control.

I want reform in the “Congressional Industry”....which is just code for Control.
