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.

Legendary SNLer Will Ferrell returns as George W. Bush to officially endorse John McCain and Sarah Palin.

FERRELL AS BUSH: "Good to see you, John. Hey let's get a photo of this; it'll really help your campaign out. Now let me do this: I, George W. Bush, endorse John McCain and Sarah Palin with all my heart..."

FERRELL AS BUSH (cont'd): "John was there for me ninety percent of the time over the last eight years. When you think of John McCain, think of me, George W. Bush. Think of this face.

So, I want to be there you, John for the next eight years."
