Congratulations, Dems. A shout-out especially to Sens. Dodd and Frank. And yeah, Blanche Lincoln, I'll stick my neck out and thank you for scripting even harsher restrictions than the House.

DEMS, thank you very much for the new consumer protections. GO, DEMS, GO!

I REMAIN A PROUD DEMOCRAT.

1. Hate this historic legislation was barely a blip on the radar today...

Thanks for posting!

3. Sad, isn't it?

Obama signs the most comprehensive financial regulatory overhaul since the Great Depression and nobody cares. It's as if good news, especially if it is positive for the President, is not allowed on DU.

Post something negative, it gets 100+ recommendations in five minutes, post something positive it gets ignored and is lucky to get 5 recommendations before it sinks to the bottom.

2. This will mean a lot further down the road..

Meanwhile, it's really nice to be on Record in the BOG..thanks, QA!

That whole shiny object that breitbart threw out with the corporatemedia accommodating at every turn is not going to turn out as they had planned.

Shirley Sherrod has been to hell and back but this will be a force for good in the end and a valuble teaching lesson about the media and blogwhores on all sides of the spectrum.

IOW..don't trust a damn word they say until proven otherwise..they have a lousy reputation for filthy lies.

4. Interesintg obsevation

it DOES almost seem like every important piece of legislation is crowded out by trumped up, bloated Fox News stories.

The nation should be bearthing a lot easier.

6. Yep, even here

on DU. Isn't that just wonderful?

7. Not normally a foil hat donner

....I think it would be interesting to watch the phenomena and see if there is a pervasive pattern.

Oh never mind, of course there is a pattern!
