    Earlier this month, the Senate announced that the hearing for Consumer Financial Protection Bureau director nominee, Richard Cordray would be postponed until September 6. The time and location for the meeting has now been announced.  

    Rather than remind you of the “politics as usual” partisan battle presently being waged in Congress over Cordray’s nomination, we present to you the nomination hearing details in the form of an original PYMNTS parody, to be sung to the tune of “Summer Nights” from the movie, “Grease.”

    CORDRAY: Summer regulation, had me a blast

    OBAMA: Summer regulation, happened so fast

    CORDRAY: Met a President, crazy for me!
