However, he reluctantly supported a scaled-down plan AFTER Paulson told the country that the world financial system was going to collapse without this emergency support......and so did many others who intitially would not support it.

They were all wrong, just like Newt. Funny, Michele Bachmann wasn't sucked in by Paulsons BS, she opposed TARP from the start. Of course, she must have been wrong because everyone knows Newt is the smartest one in the room...

The point is many went along because of the urgency Paulson presented.......Backmann had info others did not and why she cried “wolf” about Paulson’s plea. Unfortunately she lacked the clout necessary to be heard.

I do like Bachmann...but she just doesn’t have the “it” needed to gather the momentum she needs to rise to the top...I wish she did.
