The President says that he shares American general reaction of bewilderment that people could conspire to confuse and deceive American people. He says that as soon as he heard about it he asked the Justice Department to see whether there were any laws violated and what they could do and whether they should propose any new laws.

The Federal Trade Commission has moved into it since this seems to be deceitful advertising and they seem to have some function in correcting it.
