Tarullo provides insight into the thoughts of the Obama Administration, emphasizes the Administration’s belief that additional regulations are needed, as well makes the arguement that the deregulation of the Financial Industry in the 1980’s under President Reagan is directly responsible for the finacial crisis the Obama Administration ‘inherited…Full Transcript click….

Obama cuts long-range missile defense program, surprising eastern european leaders President Obama, early this year you called for the immediate passage of the Stimulus Plan even though members of Congress had not had time to read the bill and you yourself did not see it as urgent enough to delay your weekend in Chicago (by a few hours) to sign it. You have stated that Health Care Reform needs to be rushed through (effectively without public input) even though a majority of the changes would not take place for years. Yet when…
