At least one Presidential bailout...

[Winehole23]

Yoni: would you be satisfied to accept, on behalf of (former) President George W. Bush, all the blame for the TARP in exchange for the presented tally that says TARP has already been fully repaid?

[Winehole23]

You go in for that sort of thing, huh?

The calculus of 2009 favored stimlus bailout and reform regardless of the pres. McCain wouldn't have vetoed as much as you'd maybe like him to.

You might be right. If you recall, i always call him a RINO.

I have no doubt the McCain would sign far more spending than I'm comfortable with. I am also all but certain that he wouldn't have signed the second stimulus or Health care as written.

Wouldn't have been possible without a Republican Congress, for sure.


Your point?

People normally attribute an action to the president when spending originates in the house of representatives.
