C_G, you seem surprised. Doesn't matter what label you put on them, they are all politicians. He's no different than the rest of the lot. I am just wondering how long before he renigs on something else by saying "It's worse than I thought" or "GWB didn't pass that info along." Each President does it, again no matter the label.
Of course this way we will see how far left he really is. That's one of the good things about lobbyists.

Yeah, that's what cracks me up, the poor man isn't even in office yet and he's already in it up to his hips.
Yes, for SURE it's worse than he thought, it's worse than it was last week and by Christmas it's going to be a lot worse. This is bad. This is a matter of years, not weeks or months. What anyone can do is anyone's guess.
I wonder what a "right" wing president would do, since people seem so afraid of a "left" wing president. My goodness, let's see. Is not Mr. Bush a "right winger"? And yet, was it not just weeks ago that Mr. Bush begged - pleaded with REAL concern - that the Congress and Senate vote "yes" on that bailout package? And now GM and Ford and Chrysler are on their way, caps in hand. What ho?
If GM goes down? I don't even want to think about it. What is it people were saying about those evil house buyers who bought houses they couldn't afford? "It's their own fault!!!!" Well, golly gee, it's GM's own fault, too. But since the Big 3 are the true engine of what little production economy remains in the US, I don't think they are going to be allowed to fail. Millions of jobs depend on the auto industry. Millions. Not thousands.
