Obama could have chosen not to spend the second half of TARP. As it turned out the second half was wasted, the first half stopped the economic slide. I have heard you say this, but of course it's a partisan opinion...just the other day I heard the very opposite. Who knows...point is that the TARP was a bush initiative, supported by Obama from teh sidelines. The stimulus is now starting to gain recognition as the biggest waste of money in history by a wide margin. Ahnold disagrees with you...much of the money is yet to be spent...again, this is partisan politics. If you want to blame the one year on Bush, fine -- it is disingenuous, but okay. No, not just one year...it will take a decade or more to recover from the mess he left behind.
