Senator Mitch McConnell has said, for example, that the new financial regulations under consideration in the Senate "will lead to endless taxpayer bailouts of Wall Street banks.'' (PolitiFact, by the way, rated that statement as "false<http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2010/apr/20/mitch-mcconnell/bank-bailouts-not-bill-liquidation/>.'') Not to be outdone on the over-the-top accusations, the labor group Americans United for Change put out a commercial that talks about the "Bailout Bandits<http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6DOF2Z_FdxM>,'' showing a series of Wanted Posters of the "most dangerous men in America,'' four of them featuring Wall Street CEOs, and the fifth one Mr. McConnell.

Instead, they're announcing huge bonuses, fueled at least in part by Uncle Sam's bailouts, and Congress has yet to write any regulations from stopping the whole mess from happening again. Hey, maybe the titans of finance have learned their lessons, and will now be transparent, responsible, careful and modest in their investing. The Democratic-aligned Americans United for change are not taking that bet, and are rolling out an ad in D.C. today calling the likes of Jamie Dimon and Lloyd Blankfein "bailout bandits." The idea is to remind 41 Republican senators that most people in the country are not ready to forget the pain caused by Wall Street these last two years, and likely will not be pleased if reform legislation is blocked. Here's the spot: [cid:[email protected]] http://www.marketwatch.com/story/republicans-hopeful-on-bipartisan-financial-reform-2010-04-21#comment3907801 Financial-reform bill gets traction on Capitol Hill Derivatives legislation clears panel while some Republicans keep up criticism April 21, 2010, 4:24 p.m. EDT By Robert Schroeder<mailto:[email protected]> & Ronald D. Orol<mailto:[email protected]>, MarketWatch WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) -- Prospects for a bipartisan financial-reform bill improved on Capitol Hill, with key Republicans saying they were hopeful the parties could agree on the wide-ranging measure, as a Senate panel approved derivatives legislation Wednesday. [...] In another sign of the intensity of the financial-reform debate, the group Americans United for Change is launching a TV ad in Washington this week dubbed "Bailout Bandits," which identifies the chief executives of Goldman Sachs Group Inc. /quotes/comstock/13*!gs/quotes/nls/gs (GS<http://www.marketwatch.com/investing/stock/GS> 157.12, -0.22, -0.14%) , Bank of America Corp. /quotes/comstock/13*!bac/quotes/nls/bac (BAC<http://www.marketwatch.com/investing/stock/BAC> 18.43, +0.01, +0.05%) and other major financial firms as "the most dangerous men in America still at large for blowing up the financial system and wiping out more than 8 million American jobs."

Americans United for Change led the way early this morning when they issued a video titled "Dragnet"<http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6DOF2Z_FdxM> that accused Republicans of going to bat for Wall Street and trying to kill President Obama's reform plan. "With all 41 Republican senators publicly opposed to financial regulatory reform, it's clear they've been listening to the 1,500 Wall Street lobbyists and CEO's camped out in their offices this week a lot more than their constituents back home who lost their jobs and retirement savings in the wake of the financial crisis," said Tom McMahon, acting executive director, Americans United for Change. His ad singles out Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and Sen. John Cornyn, head of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, for criticism for meeting with hedge fund managers. But within hours, that ad was matched by one from the Republican National Committee<http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A74YgQ0M0J4> that accuses Obama and the Democrats of paying back banker campaign contributions with a plan to save them at all costs with taxpayer funding. "President Obama's tough rhetoric against financial institutions is just a smokescreen for the millions of dollars he and congressional Democrats took from big banks and a bill that makes American taxpayers pay for bad decisions made by Wall Street and Washington. President Obama and congressional Democrats need to stop this political circus," said RNC chairman Michael Steele.
