ace--i really don't know what version of the world you live in, but the tarp business was entirely a bush-period undertaking. one of the many things i did not like about obama's opening moves as president was that he kept on the same bush-period people who crafted that fine bit of legislation, you know the one that in the name of bailing out the american financial system encouraged unprecedented concentration within the financial sector.
and it's baffling to me that you persist in this pattern of displacing reality by attributing the claims that the financial system was on the brink of a catastrophic melt-down---which it was---to the obama administration---which was not fucking elected in august-september 08 which is the point at which the shit *really* started to hit the fan.
and i **really** dont know what planet george w bush could have been understood as a champion of free markets on, ace. nor his administration. remember haliburton, ace? remember all those no-bid contracts for iraq? probably not.
you are continually fast-and-loose with factual material, ace, particularly those pesky historical details like when things happened and who did what. i think it's ironic to see another example of this stuff in a thread you started that attempted to paint obama up as a new herbert hoover.
but whatever.
