A tale of two cities

While Pres. Obama was in New York demanding financial institutions get on board with financial regulation reform, those institutions' lobbyists were fêteing GOP lawmakers in Washington.

I'm not sure Congressional Republicans know how to play the game any more. They've been so successful at raising huge political hurdles for reforms of our health care system, climate change legislation, immigration reform, and on and on, all by using shameless dishonesty and Lunz-tested lies, that they aren't able to adjust their playbook when it's not working for them. That seems to be case here, along with the fact that they can't seem to rally the tea-baggers and Cornerites of the world to support them in their effort to demonize efforts to regulate the financial industry.
