So you blame Bill Clinton for the mess the country is in today?
Go on, do go on.

Well, to the extent that the Glass-Stegal Act was repealed on his watch,
yes.

Wikipedia:
"The final bill resolving the differences was passed
in the Senate 90–8 (one not voting) and in the House:
362–57 (15 not voting). The legislation was signed into
law by President Bill Clinton on November 12, 1999."

Sounds rather... bipartisan to me.

However, I would respectfully suggest that you do not overlook the fact
that George W. had EIGHT years to do something about it -- and did NOTHING.

Um, perhaps because he agreed with it?

In any event, partisanship has nothing to do with it. Corporatocracy has
EVERYTHING to do with it.

So your implicit assertion is that Americans are too stupid
to know when they're being fed a line of crap? Though given
that Obama was elected, I just might have to give you that
one.

I'm apalled that you believe that Big Brother should
have, the right to dictate how and when Americans
-- remember, this SCOTUS opinion expressly included
those bastions of individual thought known as 'unions' --
are permitted to express their opinion about political
candidates. Free political speech is not free if
the government can dictate when and where you
exercise it.
