Obama To Sign Wall Street Reform Bill

Obama to sign Wall Street reform bill

President Obama will sign into law Wednesday the Wall Street reform bill -- the most-sweeping set of changes to America's financial regulatory system since the 1930s.

Senh: Finally. As I was watching the documentary on Enron, I was reminded of the financial meltdown in 2008. It was eerily similar. Now, hopefully, this new bill will put an end to irresponsible and greedy Wall Street guys from gambling our futures away. Barack Obama's on a roll. First, health care overhaul. Now, financial overhaul. Now, he just has to do something about the unemployment rate.
