WASHINGTON – Seeking to reassure wary lawmakers, President-elect Barack Obama's top economic adviser told congressional leaders Monday that Obama intends to broaden the goals of the remaining $350 billion financial bailout and impose tougher restrictions and oversight on how the money is spent. I am utterly amazed but Treasury apparently did little oversight when they distributed the first $350 billion. We don't even know that they developed a list of which recipients received how much money. If true, its astounding that such basics were omitted.
