That means if Obama does nothing or what you wanted, you'd be happy?

If things failed doing things your way, you would not criticize Obama?

Of course I would criticize him.... on his foreign policy.

And I laugh at their religious beliefs, but I appreciate them not turning this country into a socialist country. So they have my vote.

No money? Tell that to Senator Brown.

Don't you know the liberal mantra? BUSH DID IT!

Looks like TARP is failing. What a waste of money.

The problems that led to the last financial crisis have not yet been addressed, and in some cases have grown worse, says Neil Barofsky, the special inspector general for the trouble asset relief program, or TARP. The quarterly report to Congress was released Sunday.

The government's bailout of financial institutions deemed "too big to fail" has created a risk that the United States could face a worse fiscal meltdown in the future, an independent watchdog assigned to review the program told Congress on Sunday.

The Troubled Assets Relief Program, known as TARP, has not addressed the problems that led to the last crisis and in some case those problems have festered and are a bigger threat than before, warned Neil Barofsky, the special inspector general at the Treasury Department.

"Even if TARP saved our financial system from driving off a cliff back in 2008, absent meaningful reform, we are still driving on the same winding mountain road, but this time in a faster car," Barofsky wrote.

Barofsky wrote the $700 billion financial bailout has encouraged more risk-taking because bank executives, who are still receiving massive bonuses, figure the government will come to the rescue the next time they steer their ships nearly aground.

"The market mentality now seems fixed that the U.S. government will continue to step in and bail out giant financial institutions," said Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, ranking member of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee. "The IG's findings confirm my decision to oppose releasing $350 billion in TARP funds last year and my recent vote to terminate the program altogether."

Anymore questions TAL?

I said it a year ago... Obama had better learn the lessons of why the financial crisis happened in '08 and prevent them from happening again. And I'm talking about the REAL reasons Randy & Jim. Not this Bush-Did-It crap. Because that line may fool liberal voters but it doesn't address the real problem. And until we confront the real problem, it will not go away!

BO breaks another campaign promise. He promised many times during his campaign to crack down on the use of no-bid contracts. So why is a no-bid contract awarded for $24 million to Checchi and Company Consulting? Because it's owned by Democratic Party donor Vincent Checchi? This is yet another promise that BO has broken. He also pledged to close Gitmo within a year of taking office. Thankfully he broke that one.

Didn't he also say we would be out of Iraq within 6 months of him taking office? LOL

And here's another statement from him during his campaign:

Here's the reality:

When the White House releases his budget proposal Monday, there will be no money for the Constellation program that was supposed to return humans to the moon by 2020. The troubled and expensive Ares I rocket that was to replace the space shuttle to ferry humans to space will be gone, along with money for its bigger brother, the Ares V cargo rocket that was to launch the fuel and supplies needed to take humans back to the moon.

There will be no lunar landers, no moon bases, no Constellation program at all.

TMF would say anything to get elected. Either he was too naive to do what he wanted, or he would outright lie to get himself into office. And he's still lying when he says he wants to increase our competitiveness, increase skills in math and science, create jobs...

Lemme guess, the solution to all our problems would be to let Sean Hannity call all the shots.

Why, was Hannity against the bailout?

My apologies I forgot that the democratic party had been hijacked by progressives!" And so he turned the politician into a conservative libertarian, and all was well
