Bush tended more towards Teddy's policy. It seems that they are both carrying the same stick. Obama might be trying harder to make friends with allies in the same war. -- "In no part of the constitution is more wisdom to be found, than in the clause which confides the question of war or peace to the legislature, and not to the executive department." - James Madison

I imagine the saving of AIG was probably necessary. However the morass of pork and handouts to Democratic interests that was the stimulus and the unaccountability with which TARP funds have allocated have both made a mockery of reprentative government. The Treasury Dept should not replace the Congress as an appropriations body. And why was Lehhman Bros, Goldman's main rival, allowed to fail? Could the army of former Goldman employees in DC had any influence on that? -- bill-o
