If Obama wants to get Financial Reform done quickly and without the chaos that plagued Health Care reform, he has to frame his position early.
Just come out and say "This bills means NO BAILOUTS for banks in the future."
Keep repeating it over and over.
Use the line "Protecting Main Street from Wall Street."
We already hate the banks for the economic misery we are in right now. The Left and the Right. We are all angry. Bring on the reform. Force the Republicans to say "NO" to Main Street.
The American People will side with who gets Financial Reform done in November. The Democrats have leverage. They can pick up momentum moving into the elections.
If Obama was smart, he'd take a small play out of the Glenn Beck playbook. Show the American People what you're talking about. Don't use a chalkboard though. Get some nice poster board or completely confuse the Supreme Court and use a touch screen monitor from like... a computer. Show the numbers. Show the banks profits and show the income of average Americans. Done deal.
You get reform passed with momentum leading up to November or you paint the Republicans as friends of the Banks and paint them as FAT CATS in campaign ads. Who knows, maybe both.
