Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Targeting an industry whose political deafness has vexed his administration, President Barack Obama is weighing a levy aimed at recovering tax dollars from government-rescued finan- cial institutions. The proposed levy could put Obama on the popular side of public opinion that is decidedly against Wall Street and angry over short- falls in a $700 billion bank bailout fund. A senior administration official said Monday that Obama would seek modifi- cations to the law that sent billions in bailout money in 2008 and 2009 to a flailing Wall Street that was approaching collapse. The government official spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the president’s thinking. The idea received an early boost from Speaker Nancy Pelosi, the top Democrat in the House, where there have been calls for a hefty tax on bank bonuses. “While we have not seen any specific language from the administration, AP Congress will certainly In this Feb. 11, 2009 file photo, executives of many of the major rescued firms testify on examine any serious pro- Capitol Hill before the House Financial Services Committee.

Woodson, the 1997 Heisman Trophy recipient, is the first cornerback chosen top defen- sive player since Deion Sanders in 1994. After a disappointing per- formance by the Packers defense in Sunday’s 51-45 overtime playoff loss at Arizona, Woodson is more motivated than ever to pursue the one honor that has eluded him in his career: a Super Bowl victory. “That’s it,” Woodson said. “Especially now, to get this award, I’ve done everything an individual can do.” How much longer will he play? “I’m just going to keep tak- ing shots until I get back to the Super Bowl — and win it,” Woodson said. He got the honor in great part because of the way he anchored a defense in transi- tion. Woodson was used in a variety of ways by new defen- sive coordinator Dom Capers as Green Bay made the switch to a 3-4. At times, the unit was shaky — except for Woodson, who played the role of cover cornerback, blitzer, run-stuffer and ballhawk. “Any time you go out there on the field, you go out there to win the game, of course,” Woodson said, “but you go out there to be consistent and a reliable player. And that’s what that award is. You go out there, you can make plays and can continue to make them through the season and you’re mentioned as far as being Defensive Player of the Year, you know you’re doing some things right.” The Packers went 11-5 dur- ing the season, including tak- ing seven of eight games in the second half of the schedule to secure an NFC wild-card berth. In that span, Green Bay allowed 15.6 points per game. Take away a last-second 37-36 loss to Pittsburgh, and the number becomes a minuscule 11.4. Woodson had 63 unassisted tackles and 18 assists, accord- ing to the Packers, plus 21 Wednesday, January 13, 2010 The Observer N SPORTS page 15
