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.

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.

It's OVER, folks. They bailed the bums out.

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

If you were something above a turd, you doubts would include from you supporting facts for you doubt. You don't like it?

Cite.

After all, I am calling you out for personal attack and underhanded mockery. An honest classicman would include reasons for doubts with 'cite'. But classicman routinely has opinions based only in passive aggressive attacks. Cite, classicman, means you first put up something you rare provide - facts.

you doubts would include from you supporting facts for you doubt

No, I don't need to post facts to question unsubstantiated claims. If you back up your claims with citations/sources, only then do I have to produce substantiated facts to disprove your claims. If you repeatedly post opinion as fact, and personally attack anyone questioning your statements, your credibility goes through the floor.

...yup below the basemen...er cellar.

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.
