Tell how McLiar and pitbull would have done differently.
Let the bogus "free market" rule and let citi/aig/BoA all go bankrupt?
I generally rip my stuff off and don't quote others, (and this is a paraphrase of plagiarized material, itself) but, sometimes you have to make an exception for Mark Steyn:
Yes, I'm sure a lot of Democrats are saying to themselves, This isn't happening...it can't be happening!
It's surprising, perhaps, how politically incorrect Obama can be. Recall how, during the campaign, he responded to tough questioning from a female reporter by calling her "sweetie."
If there is a real Barack Obama, I wonder whether he isn't a guy enjoying a smoke and sneering at everyone who isn't like him, which means virtually everyone.
And, I love this headline:
WH: Agenda on track despite worsening deficits
Despite? How about, "Agenda on track, worsening the deficits"
Nice going Obama voters; You picked yourselves a real gem there.
And, this JournoList thing is shaping up to be a real Left Wing Conspiracy...as opposed to the made up Right Wing Conspiracy Hillary Clinton invented to deflect responsibility from her philandering husband.

If the fall was any indication (TARP), we probably would still be bailing those guys out.
The difference is they wouldn't be piling on a couple trillion on top, and that $400 billion bill loaded with earmarks wouldn't have been passed.
So it still would have been better than Obama's crap.
And to think conservstives have 4 more years to keep ing....!
Maybe as few as two. And, even less if Obama manages to "govern" us off a cliff before then.And to think conservstives have 4 more years to keep ing....!
We fell off the cliff last September. We're still falling. Obama couldn't have prevented the fall, but perhaps he can cushion the impact; or he can make it worse. IMO he's made it much worse by picking Geithner.
The details of TARP 2.0 were leaked to the NYT. It's basically the previous foolish plan, rewarmed and resauced. It's public/private partnership. The government will team up again with what remains of big finance to gorge itself on yet more of our future estate, in another misguided attempt to create liquidity in an insolvent system by creating a market for unmarketable goods.
Basic structure: buy at a premium, sell at a discount, give control to the guys who wrecked our financial system, and hope that throwing trillions at the problem will make it go away. If the government doesn't subsidize the loss on both sides of the transaction, the players on the other end (i.e., bank receivers, banks, hedge funds etc.) might fail. And we couldn't have that.
The cost of whole effing derivatives bubble will soon be officially socialized. That this might eventually happen was clear in October of last year, but it may very soon become a fait accompli.
Our transition to mixed, Chinese style capitalism, begun in earnest by GWB, will very likely see it's fruition under Obama. Hopefully, it is just a temporary phase, but in politics as in all things, ins utional inertia impedes rapid adjustment to dynamic conditions. Government fiefs, once created, seldom perish. Ratchet effect.
Maybe the only solution for the future is to shoot everyone who voted for Obama?
he's going to be impeached now? you guys never cease to amaze.
p.s. stfu WC.

No dumbass, the mid-term elections.
you probably should've included your sarcasm meter with this before the natives get restless. just you wait. as soon as they get their pom poms on....................
There should be a requirement that, to qualify as sarcasm, a remark ought to have a humoristical element. It need not even be funny. All it has to do is point at something funny. Sarcasm may have been intended in WC's post, but it was so lacking in humor-related content that it is in fact indistinguishable from mean-spiritedness.
The fault lies upon the poster for the infelicity of his construction.
And WH23 knows how to not be funny. So you may want to listen to him on this one.
^^^That was funny. The sarcasm was crystal clear. Touche'.
