You do realize that Clinton fought to keep Glass-Steagall right? He Vetoed its repeal once, but they had the votes to override his veto so rather than be over ridden and have a full repeal he cut a deal to keep some important parts of it in exchange for his signing it. The Republican Congress repealed Glass-Steagall, Bill Clinton tried to save it, but Congress had the votes to over ride him.
