There are plenty of regulations that were either ignored or eliminated over the decades that this has been looming, well beyond any one president's term.
Look at the mess pre-911, the NSA knew all about the hijackers and had the Yemin safe house under watch as well as knowlage that something big was coming. Yet they were forbidden to notify the FBI about the terrorists assembling in New Jersey.
The mega corporations work hand in hand with the govenment (the ultimate mega coporation) so these anti-trust laws are BS... NSA tapped into every major AT&T fiber hub throughout the country after 911 and now monitors all internal as well as off-shore communications.
Mega coporations in banking? How about the Federal reserve? (soon to be replaced with the world bank if Obama the UN poster boy has anything to say about it)
Regulation has rarely ever worked, put someone's azz on the line for their actions (no bankruptsies or bail-outs) and actually enforce it. The government does a piss poor job of governing, so why keep throwing money at it? Oh ya, it's not our call. (unless I slept through the healthcare vote and the TARP vote)
Greenspan should be hanging from a tree, right next to Madoff, Barney the homo and a few others. (OK, a lot of others)
