Obama on AIG and future regs

Speaking with reporters before going to California for a town hall meeting, President Obama made some news. Forget the "the buck stops with me" business. More importantly, he announced that he wants to set up a "resolution authority" with powers similar to the FDIC to resolve the AIG situation once and for all, and -- presumably -- to regulate the insurance industry from now on.


Also, President says, "Nobody here drafted those contracts." Really? Nobody? Methinks you might want to have further conversation with your Secretary of the Treasury and the Director of your National Economic Advisor, Mr. President. Or, just click that link.
