Obama orders task force to fight financial crime

Barack Hussein Obama signed an executive order to investigate and prosecute financial crimes. I am so glad. As far as I know there are currently no laws against those kinds of crime, and there are no organizations trying to catch those kinds of criminals. If there were, then people like Bernard Madoff would not be able to run their schemes for years and years.

Wait a minute! There are organizations who are suppose to protect and serve to prevent this kind of thing! Federal, State and local police, F.B.I., S.E.C., ... a whole alphabet soup of organizations.

That being the case, I wonder why the President of the United States need an executive order to tell these organizations to do their job?
