A day after Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger signed a bill to honor Ronald Reagan, President Obama signed sweeping financial overhaul legislation in a way that thumbed his noise at the conservative icon.
On Monday the governor approved of the bill authored by State Senator George Runner, whose district includes parts of Ventura County, that establishes a statewide Ronald Reagan Day.
Then on Tuesday, President Obama increased power in the executive branch even more by signing the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act in the Ronald Reagan Building in Washington, D.C.
The legislation creates more financial regulations than any bill since FDR's reign, and it was enacted in a place meant to honor a champion of deregulation.
It's almost as if the president is showing conservatives that the big-government progressives have won.
