I agree with you. I just think that if you think the Dems are in the pockets of the bankers, then I have to also point out that the GOP are the banksters! So if we're looking for reform from Congress, we can just forget it.

Dodd and Frank and Schumer the Tumor have been "doing what's right for the American people"? Sure doesn't seem like it to me. Face it, Squiddie and all the other banksters have the peckers of all of Clowngress (and Obama) in their pocket. Where they will stay until campaign finance reform, lobbying and term limits are all fixed. I don't expect it to get better in my lifetime, and I'm in my early 50's. So then, this article is a bunch of lies? Lobbyists Can't Get in Door Wall Street Finds It Hard to Reach Lawmakers to Lobby on Financial Overhaul "One bank has complained that it no longer has access to House Financial Services Committee Chairman Barney Frank (D., Mass.), whose schedule has filled up to accommodate negotiations with his Senate counterparts during the next two weeks. Mr. Frank and the top Republican on the House Financial Services Committee, Rep. Spencer Bachus (R., Ala.), also have postponed scheduled fund-raising events since the conference held its first meeting on Thursday. Messrs. Frank and Bachus are among 43 lawmakers responsible for hammering out differences in the bill, which will have a broad impact on how banks are regulated and do business. There are three reasons why bending the ear of lawmakers suddenly has become a bigger challenge for financial-services industry lobbyists. Some lawmakers want to avoid even the slightest appearance that Wall Street is getting one last chance to throw its weight and money around on key provisions of the bill, including toughened oversight and other banking and securities cash cows." online.wsj.com
