A few officials and lawmakers used Twitter Thursday afternoon to either celebrate or deride the financial-regulation package that successfully cleared the Senate at around 3 pm.

President Obama said: 

Take a moment to thank those who fought for Wall St. reform. We are proud to stand with them in the fight for change. http://j.mp/dDuRh1

Sen. Chris Dodd (D-Conn.), who chairs the Senate Banking Committee, said:

Wall Street Reform has passed the Senate 60-39. It has now passed both houses and awaits the president's signature. #WallStreform!

Sen. Robert Menendez (D-N.J.) said:

Accountability is coming to Wall St. & economic security is coming to Main St., proud to have voted to pass #wallstreform

Sen. Roger Wicker (R-Miss.) said:

Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.) said:
