What a week, I find myself agreeing with two republicans. First Tucker Carlson of all people calling for investigations of repubs behaving badly at a Voyeur club and now Former Fed Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker.
Former Fed Chairman Paul Volcker says the administration needs to give regulators the power to deal out the death sentence to too big to fail.
This is probably going to come down to one of the most important pieces of legislation sans HIR. The President and David Axelrod have to be praying that the Repubs continue their party of no ways and come out against Financial Reform legislation. Imagine the President on the stump beating Repubs on the head with the fact that they are sticking up for too big too fail?
The administration is already setting the table for repub obstruction by setting a deadline, similar to what he did with HIR. He wants finanical reform don by the end of May.
Sam Stein of the Huffingtonpost.com quotes an administration spokesperson Jen Psaki who says the legislation is just fine the way it is and there is little wiggle room for Repub amendments...Can you say WOW! I guess the bipartisan Obama has seen the light and is ready for a fight.)
Now will the repubs fall all over themselves and take the bait?
