SNL's Best on Consumer Financial Protection

If you haven't seen this, you haven't been paying attention. This Funny or Die video is burning up the internet (1.5 million views as I write.) It has Will Ferrell, Dana Carvey, Jim Carrey, Fred Armisen, Chevy Chase, Dan Akroyd, and Darrell Hammond reprising their roles as President from this administration all the way back to Gerald Ford (and yes, the order they're listed in here is my personal order of preference.)

The conceit here is that the six Presidents prior to Obama come to visit him and urge him to...um...toughen up, and clean up the financial mess that the nation is in and to which each of the six previous presidents contributed. This is a remarkable collection of star power, as a matter of fact the whole thing is directed by Ron Howard.

The question the host website asks is "Funny or Die?" To that I'd add another dimension, "Effective?"
