MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - Vice President Joe Biden is defending the Obama administration's efforts to reform Wall Street -- and comparing Republican critics of the law to "squealing pigs.''

Biden told a raucous crowd in downtown Minneapolis on Tuesday that Congress had passed a law reining in Wall Street despite objections from presidential candidate Mitt Romney and other Republicans.

Biden described the objections of Republicans as sounding like "squealing pigs'' and called the changes ``some of the toughest Wall Street regulations in history.''

Biden caused a stir last week when he said Romney and other Republicans would put Americans ``back in chains'' in order to unshackle Wall Street.
