President Barack Obama on Wednesday assailed a proposed amendment to a financial reform bill that would exempt auto dealers from oversight by a new consumer protection agency.

Auto dealerships, who arrange financing for virtually all car loans in the United States, do not want to be lumped in with banks and other lenders that would fall under scrutiny of the new watchdog.

"This amendment would carve out a special exemption for these lenders that would allow them to inflate rates, insert hidden fees into the fine print of paperwork, and include expensive add-ons that catch purchasers by surprise," Obama said in a statement.
