Just a coincidence?
Just a coincidence that many Dimocrats also voted for the use of force?Rockefeller for one...you know the RICH guy with that mythical spoon in a certain orfice? He said after the 9/11 tragedy that we must act given SADDAMS past history of using WMD's...just my take on it.

  2. The economic recovery act with $300 billion in loan guarantees in July
  3. the fed hands AIG $85 billion
  4. Tarp with its $700 billion handout for bankers' bonuses
  5. Fed hands the banks another $900 billion in loans in Oct 2008
  6. Fed hands the big businesses $1.7 trillion in loans in Oct 2008
  7. Fed hands out $540 billion to buy short term debt in Oct 2008
  8. Fed hands the banks another $800 billion in loans in Nov 2008

Is this the length the Left has to go to in justifying the action taken by obama, which would never have been tolerated if done by Bush?

First of all it was Bill Clinton who took advice from Robert Rubin and Larry Summers to leave derivatives completely unregulated.

Whatever Bush did to clean up the mess, it has always been Clinton's mess.

Hmm, whatever happened to Robert Ruben and Larry Summers?
