President Obama calling for Credit Card Reform

President Barack Obama is calling for credit card reform.

Obama will be addressing a push for credit-card legislation with a town-hall meeting in New Mexico on Thursday after devoting much of his weekly radio address to the topic.

With the Senate scheduled to vote on its credit-card legislation this week, President Obama is embracing complaints from Americans about interest-rate increases, penalties and fees for their cards. He wants Congress to deliver legislation for him to sign by Memorial Day, on May 25.

I’m calling on Congress … to pass a credit card reform bill that protects American consumers so that I can sign it into law by Memorial Day, there is no time for delay. We need a durable and successful flow of credit in our economy, but we can’t tolerate profits that depend upon misleading working families. Those days are over.”
