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?


The two issues are pretty related though since we're talking about the same bailout money. If it makes you feel better I can refer to it as the bailout Bush proposed & both parties supported bipartisanly.

For the record, I humbly submit that I'm not sure if using some of the money from the original bailout for the auto industry is good or not.

Fair play!
