These guys are SO MUCH more competent than the Bush team. Thank your lucky stars. As the recent effort to close the overseas earnings loophole has so clearly demonstrated. Not to mention all of Bidin's gaffes. Obama cannot even talk without a teleprompter.

Bush was clueless... it was the Fed that initiated TARP and Obama that implemented it in a precise, effective manner. And TARP is a very small portion of what's been done in the banking sector. The Obama team has carefully managed this to perfection. I honestly think you'd give Obama a BJ. I've never seen such an infatuation in my life. TARP is probably the one thing that has been done to date that made a difference. Yet, it was the Bush Administration who did it. I will remind you that Obama was confounded by the entire TARP process. Only after the Bush administration publicly announced -- "We thought the incoming administration would want to request the 2nd 350B, but even after we mentioned it, they failed to do so." Then, a couple days later, Obama says, "Uh, oh, yeah, we want you to request the additional 350B". Obama will get credit for it, no doubt about it. But only from those who haven't the intellect to see what actually transpired.
