It's pretty obvious that MEM realizes this bailout is a big mistake. That's why he keeps calling it "Bush's bailout."

However, Bush is gone in two months so, unless all that money is spent in the meantime (which is doubtful), he ceases to be a "player" in all this soon.

MEM, in any event, no one here is defending Bush on this issue....so how about dealing with the issue at hand (the automaker bailout) which is wholly the idea of Pelosi, et al?
