Rush and other members of the Financial Services Committee fought and secured the inclusion of provisions in the final Wall Street Reform legislation that President Barack Obama will sign into law: • Creates the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to protect taxpayers from predatory tactics • Establishes Offices of Women and Minority Inclusion in each federal financial agency 1.

The video, entitled “What About The Country, Mr. President?,” features questions posed by Boehner to President Obama regarding jobs, spending, the financial meltdown, and the Gulf oil spill: SCRIPT: “WHAT ABOUT THE COUNTRY, MR. PRESIDENT?” House Republican Leader John Boehner (R-OH): “This week, President Obama traveled to Racine, Wisconsin — a city with 14 percent unemployment — and used his time there to attack me. But I’d ask the President several questions:” President Obama: “In the Gulf, we don’t yet know what caused the explosion on the Deepwater Horizon oil rig.” Boehner: “Why aren’t you focused on stopping the oil spill in the Gulf and getting the Gulf cleaned up?” President Obama: “The second thing we’ve got to do is make sure that we’ve got regulations in place so that people don’t get tricked into buying homes that they can’t afford again.” Boehner: “Why aren’t you focused on reforming Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac?” President Obama: “The debt is getting bigger, the deficit is getting bigger.

The President tells the American people that the economy is in CRISIS ! —————– In his first address to a joint session of Congress, President Obama told the American people that the “day of reckoning” has arrived for the nation’s economy, which he pledged to not just fix but make stronger than it was before the current crisis. “Now is the time to act boldly and wisely — to not only revive this economy, but to build a new foundation for lasting prosperity,” the president said in his televised prime-time address. Obama was greeted with thunderous applause in the House chamber, as lawmakers reached out to try and get a handshake or, in some cases, a kiss as the president made his way down the narrow aisle to the podium. Obama is enjoying a 68 percent approval rating after his first month in office, according to the latest ABC News-Washington Post poll, and his pledge to reverse the nation’s economic woes earned him an early standing ovation from both Democrats and Republicans. “While our economy may be weakened and our confidence shaken; though we are living through difficult and uncertain times, tonight I want every American to know this: We will rebuild, we will recover, and the United States of America will emerge stronger than before,” Obama said. Obama laid out proposals in energy, health care and education policy that he said would help everyday Americans struggling with rising costs and would be long-term investments toward economic recovery.

Global Economy Manipulation and Control Summit. “Obama sent a letter last week warning that removing the massive government stimulus spending too quickly could represent a repeat of the disastrous mistakes of the 1930s that prolonged the Great Depression.” Economic Terror style fear mongering to steal global wealth. Another staged gascan “attempt” to justify authoritarian security. World leaders (Keyword), facing serious differences over the best way to nurture a fragile global recovery, are agreeing to disagree in a variety of key areas. Even before the economic talks were to begin over lunch Friday, the leaders engaged in a series of dueling letters and interviews that exposed their conflicts. The three days of talks were starting at a lakeside resort north of Toronto where the Group of Eight countries — the United States, Japan, Germany, France, Britain, Italy, Canada and Russia — will discuss proposals to increase support for maternal and child health care in poor nations and hold an outreach meeting with leaders of seven African nations. The G-8 will also spend time exchanging views on hot-button issues, such as Iran’s nuclear program and possible sanctions on North Korea following the sinking of a South Korean warship.So far, world leaders have not signaled much support for Obama’s cautionary warnings that countries should not pull back their stimulus efforts too quickly. Britain, Germany, France and Japan have all unveiled deficit-cutting plans. Canadian Prime …
