From Funny or Die.com, Ron Howard directs some SNL favorites (and Jim Carrey) in a presidential reunion to urge Barack Obama to enact a consumer protection regulations. From MainStreetBrigade.org:

The greedy and reckless behavior of big banks on Wall Street, credit card companies, mortgage lenders and irresponsible consumers just caused a financial crisis that cost Americans millions of lost jobs, and billions in tax-payer funded bailouts and lost retirement savings.

Today, after raking in our tax dollars in bailout money, the big banks are back to business as usual, spending hundreds of millions to pay lobbyists and advertising agencies to fight against reforms that would protect us from their abuses in the future.

You can make your voice heard. Call your representatives, send them an email, or sign this petition to let them know that they need to protect us, not the financial industry.

From Funny or Die:

Barack Obama gets a surprise visit in the night from ex-Presidents Bush Sr., Bush Jr., Clinton, Ford, Reagan and Carter to get a few pointers about the Consumer Financial Protection Agency and why it's so important.

UPDATE: John Amato
This is a pretty good video, but the point they are making is brilliant.

A star-studded cast unites in a new Web video from online comedy site Funny or Die to argue for the creation of a proposed Consumer Financial Protection Agency, <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/03/01/AR2010030102049.html"> a proposal now under consideration by Congress</a>, as part of an effort by a coalition of liberal groups on behalf of financial regulatory reform.

The nearly-six minute "Presidential Reunion" skit, released Wednesday, features "Saturday Night Live" star Fred Armisen as Barack Obama and SNL alumna Maya Rudolph as Michelle Obama. The stars are visited in a dream sequence by a slew of comedic heavy-weights acting the part of former presidents: Will Ferrell (George W. Bush), Jim Carrey (Ronald Reagan), Dana Carvey (George H. W. Bush), Darrell Hammond (Bill Clinton), Chevy Chase (Gerald Ford) and Dan Aykroyd (Jimmy Carter).

At the end of the skit, the video tells viewers to call their senators and sends them to the Web site of The Mainstreet Brigade, which describes itself as a national "rapid response team" that is working "to support the formation of the Consumer Financial Protection act, and protect our families and communities."
