To be fair, the crucial time when the financial fat cats could have
been successfully forced to take their medicine (i.e., to be
nationalized) was in 2008. It was Dubya's Hank Paulson who missed the
opportunity.
With the acquiescent support of Obama, who with his electoral lead and
Congressional majority was in position to dictate the terms of the
Bailout.
Currently, he's giving into suburban middle-class white
"tea-bagger" hotheads, which suggests that if the political winds were
blowing in a different direction, BHO would float in that direction.
The perfect definition (in political context) of the word "wimp."
