By most reports this bill was watered down on the express meddling of the White house.
This is very unfortunate in that Senator Obama had clearly promised in his pre-election speeches to explicitly push for what this bill was (somewhat) trying to do.
Watch this point-by-point:

Now that he is in a position to do so, President Obama is fighting tooth-and-nail to make this a toothless(!) bill.
Why?
- alexeisadeski3 12y agoWhy? Because... he's a politician?
- chc 12y agoSo was everyone else involved with the bill. That explanation is insufficient.
- alexeisadeski3 12y agoThe question was why did he say one thing then do another.
- chc 12y agoNo, the question was not that general. The question was, verbatim: "Now that he is in a position to do so, President Obama is fighting tooth-and-nail to make this a toothless(!) bill. Why?" Many other politicians did not fight this bill tooth and nail, so that doesn't explain why Obama did.
