Martin OMalleys Big Wall Street White Paper Cited A Fake News Article.
The campaign quickly fixed the error: http://www.buzzfeed.com/andrewkaczynski/martin-omalleys-big-wall-street-white-paper-cited-a-fake-new#.srk5Kkmrv
FWIW, these fake news sites that aren't actually humorous or satirical are a pain in the ass. Also, horrible gameplan trying to make a President who won 2 landslide elections and has a HUGE coalition look bad. Lesson learned, I hope.
ETA: There's not much to copy and paste, as it is mostly pictures to tell the story.

(11,589 posts)I am not seeing where he took a swipe at the Obama Administration.
The corrected article is true and I fault no candidate for trying to differentiate themselves from other people. That does;t make it a swipe, it makes it a clear line of difference.
And not for nothing, I am disappointed in Holders new job as well.

So heres the bad newsfor you: As President, I have no plans to let up on you. Ill work tirelessly to eliminate the unique danger posed by the handful of too-big-to-fail banks. And while Im doing that, Ill finally bring real enforcement and oversight to the federal governmentto agencies and departments like the Department of Justice, Security Exchange Commission, Federal Reserve, Commodities Futures Trading Commissionso that they start doing the job the American people expect them to do and stop sitting on their hands. //////////////////////////
real enforcement,oversight...stop sitting on their hands...that is obamas justice department he is talking about, correct?

Martin OMalley Had a Footnote MishapBut Dont Overlook the Policy.
The presidential candidate may have been duped by a fake website, but his policy ideas are very real.
This much is clear from the early weeks of Martin O'Malley's presidential campaign: he is positioning himself as the bane of Wall Street's existence. . .
"If youand your megabankswhich we, the American taxpayer, saved want to begin to restore the confidence in your leadership, you need to start by saying two things: were sorry and thank you, O'Malley, the former Maryland governor, wrote in an open letter to Wall Street released Thursday by his campaign.
Along with it, he backed the talk up with policy proposals in the form of a detailed 10-page white paper. It places him firmly in the camp of progressive activists and advocates who have attacked President Barack Obama's team for being too lax on Wall Street.
