Bailouts, Obama, and Debt

From Christopher Cant-think-well: And Then The Market Crashed Anyway He writes: You might recall that incident, when George W. Bush said he had “abandoned free market principles to save the free market system,” don’t you? Lotta good that did. Last time I checked, it may have done a lot of good.
