Geithner makes policy and Obama makes politics. Geithner won't make bad FTT policy, but Obama will play diplomacy at the G-20, and speak to his hard-left base back home in the US. Many of Obama's cronies are up in arms calling for FTT including Trumka and unions, OWS his Acorn-inspired...

We haven't heard from Obama, Geithner and Company on their financial crisis responsibility fee http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Financial_Crisis_Responsibility_Fee for some time. It was in Obama's 2012 budget but not much talked about since. It fell by the wayside to Republicans saying no way on...

I know Durbin is very upset with BOA on bank debit card fees and pushed hard on the Durbin Amendment, but I haven't noticed him lately associated with being pro-FTT. Some links come up on Durbin and FTT but its hard to see the connection in digging through a few links. Media and search engines...

Agree with others. Obama would normally be sympathetic to FTT, but his Chicago roots and power base will sway him against any version of FTT that hurts Chicago futures exchanges. Mayor Emmanuel, Chief of Staff Daley, campaign chiefs and many more all come from Chicago. Senators Durbin IL and...

Our comments on media boards, and petitions to Congress may not be enough. Why don't we match the opposition by protesting with our own signs in the streets, at well planned events and locations? Let's protest across the street from them. Let's start with that 10/29 Robin Hood event. Signs...

Merkel is delaying a big bailout deal to buy time. The Germans aren't going to do a big deal and take big risk to bailout cheating Greece who can't make austerity cuts stick. Merkel is pushing FTT as an excuse for delay and no deal. Perfect wedge and said this all along. Merkel is hoping...
