Bush & Republicans caused the economic collapse and passed TARP (the bank bailouts). People HATE TARP. Candidates wish TARP was tied to Bush. A few weeks before the election Obama’s Treasury Secretary comes out swinging, defending TARP.
Political incompetence is dangerous when it is so bad it threatens to swing the country over to the far, far, far, far, right.

Who is our economy FOR, anyway?
Well, it was “Bush and the Democratic Congress”, and Obama voted FOR TARP. I wish you lefties would stop trying to say it was all “Bush and the Republicans” fault.
BTW, it was “Obama and the Democrats” who gave us the Stimulus, something a clear majority of Americans hate (68%). And that is completely on your party.
