They threatened this would happen if we didn't let them pass the FIRST banker bailout. Bush got on TV and fearmongered the american people one last time before he left office.
...like you said, the Stock market is tanking anyway and we will probably be going into depression, except now because of the FIRST bailout (that is said by Bloomberg to be upwards of 8 TRILLION) and now this other sham Obama bailout, our banks will be nationalized too.
Wow, death of America.
