If Bush did anything because Obama demanded it—by definition that is Bush’s fault.
Bush spent half of the bailout money.
He required the money to be paid back.
He required the money to be paid back to taxpayers with interest.
The money has been paid back with interest.
That is fiscally conservative. The Democrats took control of Congress in January 2007 and deregulated Fannie Mae.
Obama added the “emergency” funding as a permanent part of the budget. His spending has no fiscally conservative components to it. No money ever has to be paid back.
It is ridiculous the conservatives and liberals agree to blame Bush.
Its absurd.
Obama had already declared himself President Elect, a heretofore non-titled OFFICE. It happened on Obama’s watch.
