That article seems to be more upset about the general population not receiving handouts than the banks receiving them.
In any case, how is Obama to blame for the program lacking proper guidelines when the Bush administration set the program up and Congress was running around crazily claiming if they didn't act before December the entire economy would collapse?
What would him acting like "the man" entail? Doing whatever he wants regardless of how the program was initially designed before he was president without Congressional approval?
I'm not sure I understand your political philosophy. It seems to me that you would want a limited government, but when it comes to Obama and this bank loan program you want him to operate outside the bounds of Congressional and contractual limits constraining his power to do what he wants. How do you reconcile these kinds of disjunctions in your reasoning?
