It is interesting how when Obama was running for President he made it clear that any bailout money approved by Congress should have proper controls in place (along with two other parameters) and that in the end he was satisfied with the initial TARP legislation and that it met all of his requirements. He was adored for being calm, reflective, in control, as McCain gyrated all over the place on the issue. They rushed that inadequate, il conceived legislation through and then blamed the Bush administration for not using the money as "they" intended, even though the legislation gave way to much control to the Treasury Secretary and everybody knew it at the time. Now he is calling Wall St. irresponsible as Democrats are rushing more bailout money through Congress with il conceived legislation and inadequate controls so the funds do what they intend them to do - stimulate the economy. President Obama should focus on getting his own House (and Senate) in order.
