I do. Obama deserves credit for not vetoing the bill but that was the only role that he played in the this bill becoming law. 60 Minutes and the small bipartisan group in Congress that kept this issue alive all deserve much more credit than Obama for the bill making it to his desk.

The bill was voted upon and signed into law only because this is an election year and neither Obama nor Congress critters - both Democrats and Republicans - who are running for re-election wanted insider trading to be an issue this fall. Otherwise, this bill would never have seen the light of day.

Kind of like you give Clinton credit for NAFTA that he signed as soon as he got in office, when it was Bush 1's baby, with Clinton only adding clauses to protect the American worker? Bush "fast tracked" it trying to get it signed into law, but ran out of time.
