“Obama had nothing to do with it.”

I wouldn’t quite say that. TARP was enacted in the dynamics of the election and the acute nature of the crisis. Remember when McCain “suspended” his campaign, went back to DC, and not only did nothing but couldn’t keep the republicans in line? Bush needed a majority of dems to pass it and Obama, as the standard bearer of the party through his candidacy had a choice to demagogue or to recognize that this was something that needed to be done, odious as it was. His approach during the campaign helped insure the votes were there. He had more at stake than Bush, who was leaving office in a few months. And now the tea party folks who hate TARP blame Obama for it because they think he signed it.

I started drinking tea. It’s an herbal blend for lactating women.

My platform in drinking this tea is:
– Increase production (of milk)
– Repeal negative healthcare issues to my baby
– Opposition to Formula
– Promote a bond between two parties of different generations.

“If I have a tea party on my deck will any of you come?”

Yep, but only if you serve Pimm’s and cucumber sandwiches! ; )

One more reason, Hal….Goldman started doing “god’s work.”
