He seems to support bank bail outs though, no?

[Albion Wilde]

I have not researched this area closely. Nevertheless, I repeat he is not an idealogue. So to expect him to support one bank bailout (TARP) in one set of conditions during which he was not in office means that he will support every other bank bailout in every other set of possible conditions post-2016 is an ideologically-framed question that no one can answer.

I believe his entire first four years would be taken up with repairing life-or-death damage to our system in multiple venues. The time for a robust return to various schools of politcal thought will be after we are out of the political-economic Emergency Room, so to speak. Right now we are on life support and not expected to live if a Democrat is elected. He may not be an elegant surgeon; but he is a capable emergency crash interventionist, if you will.
