"We will not go back to the days of reckless behavior and unchecked excess at the heart of this crisis," President Obama said during a speech at Federal Hall in Lower Manhattan.

The president spoke beneath the dome of the building where the nation’s founding fathers once argued sharply over the role that government should play in the country’s economy. Mr. Obama noted the historic setting, saying: “Two centuries later, we still grapple with these questions — questions made more acute in moments of crisis.”
