(15,642 posts)when you read what I write. You misquote me again. I never said lobbyists wrote Dodd-Frank. If you've paid attention, you would know that "lobbyists" declawed it via influencing the regulations that were required to put the law (and are often required to put a law) into practice -- the Executive Branch administers the law and authors regulations in order to do that.
Your hyperbole (animosity to Obama and Dems) is counter productive, not to mention off-base and incorrect. If your goal is to alienate me or drive me out of the Party or DU, its probably a reasonable tactic. But it isn't going to work. I've been a registered Dem for 45 years. Have held a local elected office for 11 years, and am active in my local Democratic Party/member of its central committee. Ain't gonna happen.
We disagree. And I really do wonder why some Dems are defensive about what a lot of us see as constructive criticism, especially in light of the Party's decline over the past 7 years. ... I'll just say goodbye now -- or you can have the last word if you like.
