My question is "why did he leak this?" Any guesses on what his end game is on this? I haven't yet figured out if they want him to sign this bailout or if they are trying to tic him off so he won't sign it?
If they want him to sign it, why? Obama could sign it in two months and take all the credit for saving the auto industry. I figure they must be planning to put some stinky thing in there, hoping the pres won't read it all, and then blame Bush for the results in years to come.
Probably Obama's game is get Bush to sign off on something he wants and if things go wrong, he can pawn the blame on Bush. Obama wants to credibly blame the previous administration as long as he can.
Part of his commitment to transparency, openness, and acountability in government?
