I have answered all of your questions very directly. You just don't like the answers. I've stated publicly that I was for Obama doing what he did for GM, even though it gave me the jitters. But what he did there was take GM through bankruptcy proceedings and the company has emerged stronger for it. He gave some serious favoritism to the Unions, which I was not in favor of, but it all has ended well. In addition, he didn't really bail out GM. Our government actually purchased a stake in GM. I don't like that on principle, but it has proven to have worked to save thousands of jobs and they are working to sell off the stake as soon as is practicable. So WHY DID HE NOT DO THE SAME THING WITH THE BANKS? It worked for GM. Are you telling me it would not have worked for the banks? Once again, your own arguments tear your own thesis down. All I have to do is keep you talking and you shoot yourself in the foot.
