"Bankers see record payday." Isn't the real headline "Obama's buddies see record...

[Willis Jeffords]

...kickbacks"? It's so easy to blame bankers for a few billion in TARP that you forced them to take. After all, it shifts attention away from your one trillion dollar bailout and all the favors it buys.
Dems, you missed the point. TARP was wrong, but stimulus/deficit were also wrong, and on a much larger scale.

you say it the way it is

Really Obama's buddies? because the crisis wasn't started under Bush right? Nor was it Bush who passed the first TARP

Obama was not the President who cut oversight and deregulated the crooks...that would be their proven buddy GW Bush who did that.

And you can damn well bet that if McCain was President he would not be making a stink about the 117 Billion still owed to taxpayers, he would have just given it to the bankers along with the command "keep doing business as usual we will bail you out again next year!"

Are you for real?

 

[Brutus]

Yes, that headline would be more accurate.

Oh well. At least cons will have to pay back the gov't for the banks. Glad i don't work or have to pay taxes.
