On the TARP:
After finally getting the speech draft turned around and sent back to the teleprompter technicians, we trudged back to the Family Theater, where the president rehearsed. In the theater, the president was clearly confused about how the government would buy these securities. He repeated his belief that the government was going to “buy low and sell high,” and he still didn’t understand why we hadn’t put that into the speech like he’d asked us to. When it was explained to him that his concept of the bailout proposal wasn’t correct, the president was momentarily speechless. He threw up his hands in frustration.
“Why did I sign on to this proposal if I don’t understand what it does?” he asked.
Making him the rough equivalent of the 270 (D) House members who did NOT read HR 3200.
The link to JustOneMinute also has Bush's comment on Palin (sagacious, yes) and a narrative that shows 'if you think BUSH was bad, check out McCain!!'
Oh, man. Those two, thus Obama!
O, Patria!
That goes so well with "I’ve abandoned free-market principles to save the free-market system" quote.
