He did none of those things. Well you might have an argument on the spending bill... but only in a limited definition of spending. I wouldn't have said it if he hadn't done it. How you try to take the edge off the spending bill is something. There is no legislation in the history of this nation that comes anywhere close to spending the kind of money the porkulus did. This isn't a subject about which there is debate. Simply tell me which legislation in our history spent more money if you disagree. There is no "limited" definition of spending. You either spend or you don't, and in this case there were something like 3,500 earmarks. A total waste of our children's money. He did every one of the things I mentioned and you saying otherwise doesn't change anything (I accept the argument that "nationalization" is a strong word for what he did WRT DCX & GM, but IMO the difference is immaterial).
