Good one!

Its a nation of 300 million people and their great-great grand children he is giving away.

Economically there are basically two ways to go. You either have policies which draw people up or policies which drag people down. Obama is of the drag people down school.

My I ask you...what is the answer to the worlds debacle at present? What have the Repubs have that the Dems don't? Let's not forget for a minute that the economic downturn started at the end of Bush's run. Bush signed the first stimulus bill. Did it get any better? Had it gotten any better with new stimulus packages? No sir. The maddening truth here is Reid/Pelosi and the rest of the dead weight in DC need to go.

Currently no, the Repubs are too much like the Dems, thus the rise of the tea party movement. Which is just as hostile towards Repubs as Dems.

What you call the first bail out I assume you mean TARP. Those were loans which have been paid back with interest. TARP didn't take controll of an industry like Obama did with General Motors.

I don't disagree with you on this...."Reid/Pelosi and the rest of the dead weight in DC need to go."

But perhaps for different reasons.

True but I think the natural progression of taking control of the industry after TARP was in the cards no matter who was at the wheel.

I think you wrong. TARP was very limited in scope compared to the so-called stimulous package, which we now know is wasted money..

TARP was Federal Reserve money which we know, thanks to Alexander Hamilton, is not part of the US government, and its parasitic tax policy.
