# 2010-05-01 President Obama's Weekly Address

Weekly Address: President Obama Calls on Congress to Enact Reforms to Stop a "Potential Corporate Takeover of Our Elections". As the President beats back lobbyists seeking to weaken Wall Street Reform, he talks about an even broader threat that would vastly expand the influence of massive industries and their lobbyists in Washington. A recent Supreme Court decision opened the floodgates for corporations, including foreign corporations, to spend endless money on political ads that would give them even more power at the expense of American families – the President pledges to fight for reforms to stem that influence.
