RE :”As over-leveraged investment houses began to fail in September 2008, the leaders of the Republican and Democratic parties, of major corporations, and opinion leaders stretching from the National Review magazine (and the Wall Street Journal) on the right to the Nation magazine on the left, agreed that spending some $700 billion to buy the investors’ “toxic assets” was the only alternative to the U.S. economy's “systemic collapse.” In this, President George W. Bush and his would-be Republican successor John McCain agreed with the Democratic candidate, Barack Obama. Many, if not most, people around them also agreed upon the eventual commitment of some 10 trillion nonexistent dollars in ways unprecedented in America. They explained neither the difference between the assets’ nominal and real values, nor precisely why letting the market find the latter would collapse America. The public objected immediately, by margins of three or four to one.

This was one of the number of bailouts and don't forget the 2008 Bush/Pelosi bi-partision stimulus package that preceded both the economy/financial collapse and the call for TARP.

Just when voters were starting to forget how bad Republicans were (because of democrats failure and self destruction) we hear that GWBs book goes on sale right after the midterm election. Just what we need. Get out the handkerchiefs for the upcoming 'Pray for Bush' threads. Expect lots more nostalgic weeping about 'the good times'.

It will leak well before the election, and Bush will be crucified all over again RIGHT BEFORE the election.Everyone will once again be reminded that Bush blew it.
