He had a choice. He could have vetoed it

And they would be right. Liberal freaks only exist for one purpose: To utterly destroy the US.

Granted, liberal freaks have been largely successful at bankrupting the US since Democrats lost the Civil War they started. That is what the TEA Party hopes to prevent.

When the Democratic Party, the greatest enemy the US has ever known, is completely wiped from the face of the planet, it will be a great day for the US.

Former President George Bush told NBC News in an interview airing Monday that he believes TARP funds used to bail out Wall Street banks in 2008 "saved the economy" and that he would “absolutely” do it again today, if presented with the same problem.
'I'd Approve TARP Again': George W. Bush

So much for having no choice

Oh yes you do. If it's wrong you veto it veto proof majority or not. Besides Bush was in favor of the bailout as I've shown

Of course he did.

Just as Clinton claimed to support the Welfare Reform Act of 1996. Yet in January 1996 Clinton vetoed the Welfare Reform Act of 1996, and threatened to veto the bill again in June 1996. Yet when Congress passed Welfare Reform Act of 1996 in July 1996 with a veto-proof majority Clinton signed the law and espoused that it was his idea all along and how much he loved the bill.

You really have no clue about politics, do you?

So when you do it that's ok but when others do it they're foaming and spewing. I've always said that cons are hypocrites

You do know that you've just admitted that if in control of America you will accept no responsibility whatsoever right?

I don't care how they passed it, he could have vetoed it. He didn't because he was in favor of it

If Clinton signed the bill he gets credit for signing the bill
