>>>Who signed the repeal of Glass Steagal?<<< Per Wiki The bill that ultimately repealed the Act was introduced in the Senate by Phil Gramm (R-TX) and in the House of Representatives by James Leach (R-IA) in 1999. The bills were passed by a 54-44 vote along party lines with Republican support in the Senate[9] and by a 343-86 vote in the House of Representatives[10]. Nov 4, 1999: After passing both the Senate and House the bill was moved to a conference committee to work out the differences between the Senate and House versions. The final bipartisan bill resolving the differences was passed in the Senate 90-8-1 and in the House: 362-57-15. Without forcing a veto vote, this bipartisan, veto proof legislation was signed into law by President Bill Clinton on November 12, 1999. [11] Note the veto proof margin so that Bubba didn't have to take a stand. Another bullet dodged, although he could have done a pocket veto - or just flat out vetoed it to make a statement w/o immediate consequences. You know - I was just recalling how completely graceless the Clintons were as they left office - heisting the White House china. It looks like half of BHO's admin are Clinton retreads.

Clinton but it is not PC to hold democrats accountable- it's all Bush's fault . Furthermore Bob Rubin and Alan Greenspan meant well. Democrats are beyond reproach with the exception of Blagojevich. Obama has inherited a big mess and I won't blame him if the next few years are very difficult.
