From thw Washington Post of 8 Jan 2009 which says TheMercenary and his political agenda is lying again:

Bush Prepares to Ask for Second Tranche of Bailout Funds
Senior Bush administration officials are preparing to ask lawmakers for the second half of the $700 billion financial rescue package despite intense opposition in Congress and then use a presidential veto if the request is voted down, sources familiar with the matter said.

Problematic is not that money is being requested. Just like wicks did early in "Mission Accomplished" (flew three 747s chock full of pallets of $100 bill into Iraq with zero accounting), this administration has no idea what the TARP money has been used for.

Goldman Sachs took $10billion from the government, then issued over $10billion in bonuses when the company was losing money - when no bonuses would be paid in an honest corporation. Just an example of spending money while Enron accounting continues alive and well - even in how TARP money is given away.

Senior Bush administration officials, consulting with the Obama transition team, have prepared a plan to ask lawmakers for the second half of the $700 billion financial rescue package despite intense opposition in Congress, sources familiar with the discussions said.

"There have been discussions between the administration and the transition team on how to proceed ~snip~

"There have been discussions between the administration and the transition about how to proceed should the president-elect determine that he wants to have those funds available on January 20," said Robert Gibbs, spokesman for President-elect Barack Obama's transition team. "No final decisions have been made, but we want to be ready to act if needed."

Even as senior Bush and Obama officials consulted about how to access the rest of the money,

Many of the measure's provisions are being coordinated with Treasury Secretary nominee Timothy F. Geithner,

For Obama, using a veto runs the risk of souring his relationship with rank-and-file lawmakers, especially if it is one of his first official acts in the White House. It carries less risk for Bush, who is leaving office in a matter of days.

The article repeatedly states that the two administrations are working closely together on this issue.
I am sure we can all recognize that is to ensure a smooth transition and do what is best for the country.

Looks to me, like tw took out of that what tw wanted - more negativity.

Barney Frank (D-Mass.), unveiled a bill on Capitol Hill aimed at forcing the Treasury to use the money in accordance with lawmakers' wishes.

Democratic leaders say that a request from either administration is likely to be rejected, making a veto almost unavoidable.

Therein lies the rub!

The article only suggests what we know - the two administrations are talking - nothing more. George Jr is telling Obama what he will do despite what Obama has been planning. This president cannot help himself - spending every dime possible before leaving office.

Negative is what this president created and continues to create. Reality is only posted. What is routinely negative is classicman who routinely attacks this poster at every opportunity; who never deals with reality that opposes his politics; who never posts supporting facts. After all, that is what wackos are taught to do. Always attack and insult others who oppose wacko extremism - classicman.

George Jr is spending money that Obama already had plans for. Is that cooperation as classicman claims? Of course not. classicman must avoid that reality.

The first sentence you have correct. The second is nothing but your opinion, contrary to what the article repeated states.

When was the last time? I have called you out several times recently on your "claims", but I have not "attacked" you. None of which you substantiated, by the way.

Cite? The article you posted infers to the contrary based upon the issue of a veto.

[classicman]

I dunno -= you got a better plan? My income will be 1/2 of what it was last year. I'm game for whatever works.

That's the point. It's not over. George Jr now wants the same amount of money again to bail out more 'friends'. Obama had been planning how to spend that money. George Jr cannot leave any cash unspent especially when it means those bums are his closest supporters. George Jr will screw us right up to his last day. Spend money without any accounting - as the oversight committe has now accused him of doing.

And again TheMercenary subverts the topic of a thread. It requests a wacko extremist to grasp a concept, learn reality, and ignore what Limbaugh tells him to say.

So again, TheMercenary destroys another thread.

From thw Washington Post of 8 Jan 2009 as posted previously in post 505

Bush Prepares to Ask for Second Tranche of Bailout Funds
Senior Bush administration officials are preparing to ask lawmakers for the second half of the $700 billion financial rescue package despite intense opposition in Congress and then use a presidential veto if the request is voted down, sources familiar with the matter said.

Today, George Jr offered to rescind his request for the $350billion TARP money unless asked to do so by Obama. Obama today called George Jr to ask him to put forth that request. IOW George Jr had not consulted with Obama until today.

Four days later, on 12 Jan 2009 in the NY Times:

“This morning, President-elect Obama asked President Bush to formally notify Congress, on his behalf, of his intent to exercise the authority under the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act to access the last tranche of $350 billion in funding for Treasury programs addressing the financial crisis,” Dana Perino, the White House press secretary, said in a statement. “President Bush agreed to the president-elect’s request.” ..

The decision to request the money now reflects the calculation by Mr. Obama and his aides that it would be better to have both the incoming and outgoing presidents urging lawmakers to release the money, given the high level of anger and frustration on Capitol Hill over how the Bush administration has managed the bailout program.

Congress is not happy how the money was spent without corresponding concessions and without accounting for what it was used for.

Curiously, the law is written so that if Congress does not release the cash, then the president can sign a veto and get it anyway.

I'm afraid it's a long way from over, you'll (we'll) have to bend over awhile longer.
