Wall Street-backed senator can’t explain why he opposes financial reform, asks reporter what’s wrong with it:
"When asked what areas he thought should be fixed, he replied: 'Well, what areas do you think should be fixed? I mean, you know, tell me. And then I'll get a team and go fix it.'
Even the Globe struggled to explain Brown's position: He appeared to oppose the creation of a consumer protection agency within the Federal Reserve. 'It’s more government, it’s more government regulation at a time when businesses are trying just to pay their bills,' he said. 'Is that good? . . . If it’s an area we need to fix, then I’m certainly open to it. But I haven’t heard that that’s the biggest thing that’s problematic with it.'
Liberal bloggers immediately jumped down Brown's throat, pointing out that he received a veritable truckload of cash from the financial services industry just before his election."
