One of the reasons I voted for Barack Obama is because he promised ot regulate the banks and Wall Street more, but I have not seen any new regulations happen.
I watched a Frontline special on PBS last night and they spelled it out decently well.
When is the President going to initiate regulation against all this funny money going on like he said he would-- and oh-- where is the transparency?
Please respond!

Mr. President,
Take a day off and do NOTHING but read ALL OF THESE BLOGS!
It can be quite overwhelming. But seems to me people are in worse shape than we think, and you go and appoint someone who made $40,000 for two speeches and $5.2million over tow years, while most Americans are scraping to get by.
Here is a stimulus idea for ya...let some poor slob like me spew out a few word for a half hour to some rich corporate types sitting in a hotel convention room eating rubber chicken and pay me $40,000. Do that about 250 million times over, and people might be able to make ends meet-- if they can get away with not having to pay taxes.
I'm proud to say I am an American, and I am actually proud to pay my taxes-- or I was...but seems those better off than me are getting away with not paying.
Might wanna wipe that slate clean early before it gts too crowed...

When will I see my bailout?Why don't we call back all that money we gave to the banks since they obviously are using it for the wrong things and just give it to people so they can pay off their houses and debt?
How is borrowing money going to create a stimulus? It just puts us further in the hole doesn't it?
How can I host a house party when I can't even afford to fix up my house to make it look nice enough to have guests?
Will there be any programs to help me update my house with solar panels, a new roof, geothermal, and remove the asbestos siding? My house was built in the 1930s. Its not worth anything in this market. I have always been responsible and made my payments on time, and even paid off extra, but now its not worth anything. What are you going to do to stop me from walking away from my mortgage and making the situation worse?
How come rich companies and rich executives get all the money and all the breaks, but I don't get anything but grief.
What are you going to do about the converter box I bought that is already broken and I cannot return? Looks like I got burned again.
How come rich politicians don't have to pay taxes but I do? If I failed to pay my taxes, I'd be in jail, but your new administration is already putting crooks, liars, thieves, and cheats in charge!
How are you going to regain my support. I can't believe I sent you my money and supported you and you go ahead and give tax dodging lobbyists and politicians six figure jobs.
Shame on you! I thought we were all in this together?
I guess not.
Thanks alot for fooling us-- it worked!
