If you read the links I provided, he said yes, he did support the concept of TARP, but not how it is implemented. No-one has said he never supported TARP.

When the details came out about TARP, he began criticizing it both in writing and on his radio show (around Feb 2009).

TARP, by the way, is not the same thing as bailouts. Most people who complain about it are lumping TARP, bailouts and the stimulus all together. TARP was a temporary fix, a short term loan, and no one likes to mention that it was by in large successful. That’s my opinion, and is not necessarily that of the candidate I support.

Speaking of candidates, I’m curious as to what candidate you support that did not support TARP at least early on. Bachmann is the only one I know of who is another potential candidate, and I love Bachmann, but she has made her share of misjudgments as well.
