—President Obama signing the STOCK Act today: @Obama2012


POTUS: "We should make sure that people who bundle campaign contributions for Congress can’t lobby Congress."

“The powerful shouldn’t get to create one set of rules for themselves and one set of rules for everyone else."

"If members of Congress use nonpublic information to gain an unfair advantage in the market, then they are breaking the law."

"The STOCK Act creates new disclosure requirements and new accountability measures."

"There’s more we can do to limit the corrosive influence of money in politics."

Warts and all he's a good man and I'm happy to say I voted for him twice and will vote for him again come Nov.
My grand father fought as a Union Soldier even though his family lived in Georgia and owned slaves at the time. I'm real proud of that fact.

I think he's up there, simply because of the environment he is working in. Totally split country, left and right coming after him, no real mandate, yeah.
