Running of the Bankers' set for streets of New York President Obama announced Wednesday that any convictions from his newly signed Banking Criminalization Act would result in a public shaming of the perpetrators. "Those convicted will be led into New York's Zucotti Park in pig masks and made to run an obstacle course ending at Times Square," the newly-invigorated, second term president said in a speech before the U.S. House of Representatives.
