Dems will have less money coming to them from Wall Street this election season... but how long will that last? They are still the party of "protectors" and "care takers," aren't they?

Sapping billions of dollars of revenues will certainly help generate jobs, on "Wall Street" and "Main Street"... of other countries.

This story is geared to Obama's hard-left base.

They are mad at Obama because they believe him to be in the pocket of corporate America.

Gee, I bet Lloyd and Jamie are bent out of shape about not being invited down the the District of Corruption in the middle of July so The Kenyan can rub their noses in his and Nanzi’s doody (along with Dood and Bonnie Fwanker). GFY, 0bama.

Yet another "law" and Office, positions and regulations that must be stalled in courts, then repealed or defunded (before it is repealed) by the next Congress.

Wall Street reform will take years for government to fully implement - The Hill, 2010 July 20, by Silla Brush

The Obama administration’s landmark rewrite of financial regulations will take years for the federal government to fully implement.
President Obama will sign the 2,315-page bill into law on Wednesday as regulators, administration aides and the industry hunker down for hundreds of battles over the fine print of new regulations.
Senior administration officials said the legislation provides a “frame” for the new regulatory landscape, but the full force of the rewrite hinges on how regulators interpret their new powers in the comings months and years.
Officials noted it will take time to start up organizations like the consumer financial protection bureau created by the legislation.
“While some things start sooner than later, we should expect that this is going to be done thoughtfully and carefully, and that it will take time,” said Diana Farrell, deputy national economic adviser.
The legislation also requires the creation of a new council of federal regulators to oversee broad financial risks; new regulations of the $600 trillion derivatives market; and a new system for the government to wind down failing financial firms.
The bill largely resembles the Obama administration’s original proposal last year and will be enacted nearly two years after the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression. Passing new financial regulations has been one of the president’s top priorities. The legislation faced stiff opposition from Republicans: Only three in each of the House and Senate wound up supporting the final legislation.
One of the first decisions for the president will be nominating an inaugural head of the consumer bureau, which will have broad power to write and enforce rules over home loans, credit cards and other products across the financial system. The administration is considering a handful of potential nominees, including Elizabeth Warren, the Harvard professor and original advocate for the agency.
She is expected to face tough opposition from Senate Republicans if she were nominated. Sen. Chris Dodd (D-Conn.) on Monday questioned if she could win the votes necessary for confirmation. Labor unions and some Democrats are openly pushing the president to nominate Warren.
Sen. Susan Collins (Maine), one of the three Senate Republicans to support the legislation, declined Tuesday to say if she could support a Warren nomination.
By some counts, the legislation requires hundreds of rulemaking procedures and scores of studies.
Many of the key provisions in the bill come into effect over the next two years.
• The new council of regulators must meet within three months.
• Federal regulators must write rules within nine months for how companies retain 5 percent of the risk in mortgage-backed securities.
• Also within nine months, the Federal Reserve must write rules setting “reasonable and proportional” interchange fees that merchants and retailers pay to banks and credit unions that issue debit cards.
• The government must set up the new consumer bureau within one year.
• New restrictions under the “Volcker rule” on proprietary trading and alternative fund sponsorship by big banks would come into effect over the next 18 months. Full compliance with the rule, named after former Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker, could take many years longer. .....

dimon stiffs obama is quite more like it.

Ah, the poor little sacrificies.

Dimon is one of the most powerful people on Wall Street....lulz, idiotPOTUS thinks he has a clue but is in truth, about as clueless as they come...I am sure Dimon will remind idiotPOTUS in the coming next few years, bet.

"FinReg, as the financial sector overhaul is known, is likely to alter the state and style of business of Wall Street and, potentially, sap billions of dollars of revenues from some of the most powerful financial institutions in the country."

This ought to really help Democrats' chances of re-election.

SI ? Samoan Islands? Southern Illinois? Sports Illustrated? Gosh, maybe there really are 57 states.
