Anyway, when was the auto-bailout passed? Seems weird to lay that at Obama's feet. We may not be able to compare, but we should at least remember that TARP and the auto bailout were done in 2008, during the Bush administration. So... no. I don't blame Obama for bailing out GM--because he didn't do it: Bush did.

And Obama was involved. Again, you're trying to deflect blame. Bush made a lot of mistakes, including the initial auto bailout, but he isn't in a position to fix anything. Obama is.

Laying the AIG bonus thing at his feet is even sillier.

No its not. The fact that Obama played 'dumb'....when the news came out speaks volumes about the mistake.
And then to blame AIG for paying out the bonuses....and wanting to force them to give it back through taxes, a very well placed deflection from the bigger problem at hand. Government mismanagement and incompetance.
I don't care who was in charge.
