This President has proven many a times that he strategies, seeks all points of view before he makes a decision on a course of action. He is not rash and reckless likej most of our folks in DC are including the former President. America of this generation have not seen this in our leaders for a while. Today, the way Americans expect to operate is to jump to conclusion. Knee jerk reactions is what they say this is. If the bankers defrauded is, and that is assuming they did, not proven yet, then don't we first need to ensure that they should never be able to do so again. You think having a lax system of rules and regulations and prosecuting them will deter a banker from frauding us in the future? You think the death penalty has reduced the number of crimes like murder? You think a potential murder goes through all the analysis and decides to not commit the murder or murders anyway in a "fit of frenzy". And about Warren, the less said the better. She just talks and needs to do less talking and more of legislating and passing laws by remaining behind the scenes. I would much rather prefer a Diane Feinstein to Elizabeth Warren. Her comment about "......this President is too cautious" is more hard hitting that comments from McCain, Boehner and the like who make comments like "This President leads from behind."

You should listen to Elizabeth Warren more. She's one of the few Democrats that makes sense anymore and she doesn't have her lips firmly planted on Obama's ass. You should stop favoring the status quo of protecting the criminal banksters. It completely undercuts your credibility when you say you want to help the 99%, but then back the corruption of the bankers and the Fed. You're confused............what I've said is that the legislation needs to be changed and banks need to pay thru the nose for their BS. Sending a banker to jail for 2 years where we the taxpayers have to pay for his or her upkeep is nonsense. To these guys, its money that talks..........and trust, B of A ain't happy about paying $17 billion to the US govt.............because it hurts their profit margin and pisses off their shareholders. Oh and one last thing, never ever send an R to the presidency so long as they think good governance is sitting on your ass and strumming the guitar like this fool:
