I was following Shaws lead (see congreeshores) and was channeling Themercenary. I believe even he thought it was funny.

Both parties passed the initial TARP. Virtually EVERYONE was on board at that time.
But you just go ahead an keep posting your unnecessary and unrelated partisan, extremist attacks. Its so new and refreshing.

But the republicans are blaming Obama for "the deficit caused by bailouts" in many political ads.

Then they should grow a friggin pair and call the R's out on it.
However, I think they R's are referring to subsequent bailouts. Whatever works better for them - some things never change.
