Obama pushes financial reform
March 25, 2010 | federal legislation, industry | Comments (0)From today’s Washington Post:
Fresh off his victory this week on health care, Obama urged the Democratic sponsors of financial legislation in the Senate and House to press ahead with or without Republican backing, according to sources familiar with the 45-minute White House strategy session. The president told them the Democrats have the upper hand and should not give too much ground.
The chairman of the Senate banking committee, Christopher J. Dodd (D-Conn.), said after the meeting that he would seek final Senate passage of the bill a few weeks after Easter.
