LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!

(And the Bush administration CALLED FOR IT... and brought the Congressional leadership over to the WH and told them that we would have economic PANIC and COLLAPSE, and risk a major DEPRESSION unless they hurried-up and approved the money that the Secretary of the Treasury was calling for....)

What revisionist nonsense....

Didn't Paulson and the WH scream and shout and claim the sky would fall if everyone, everyone, didn't give them the blank check? If the plan was Obama's....did the WH or Paulson object to "it"? Who called the summit meetings and literally begged (on his knees) for passage?

Paulson...he works for Bush (we think).

"the 700 billion bailout plan was Obama's plan"

Nah - I'm positive it was Clinton's but he was probably doing Obama's bidding.

One thing for sure Bush and the Republicans had nothing to do with it. When one considers the whole financial collapse is the fault of Barney Frank and Al Franken - and any other people with Frank in their name - we can only hold our breaths until the Republicans are back in the driving seat.
