As a Republican, I was enraged when Bush ushered in Bailout Nation but now I'm simply dumb-struck under the current regime of "fiscal responsibility" as President Obama calls it. And Pam is wrong about this being a non-story. Polls are beginning to show that the public is not that keen on the massive debt we are running up and the continuation of Bush's Bailout Nation that is now only being hyper-expanded under Mr. Obama. I think the Tea Partiers are partly responsible for this awakening. Keep up the good work. Dig your blog - sorry I haven't been by in a while. <abbr><em>Deans last blog post..<a href="http://beerswithdemo.blogspot.com/2009/06/however-success-of-floridas-sports.html" rel="nofollow">…however, the success of Florida’s sports teams do not come without some negative consequences.</a></abbr></em> Michael,

As a Republican, I was enraged when Bush ushered in Bailout Nation but now I’m simply dumb-struck under the current regime of “fiscal responsibility” as President Obama calls it.

And Pam is wrong about this being a non-story. Polls are beginning to show that the public is not that keen on the massive debt we are running up and the continuation of Bush’s Bailout Nation that is now only being hyper-expanded under Mr. Obama.

Keep up the good work. Dig your blog – sorry I haven’t been by in a while.

Contrary to the mis-informed opinion that this is all about Obama and we were happy with Bush starting the bailouts, we are just as mad with Bush as we are with Obama. I don't remember seeing too many nationwide Democratic protests during the Clinton administration when the whole sub-prime lending fiasco was started. And as far as Obama cleaning up the mess you say Bush started, he is doing just the opposite. He is making things even worse. Obama has now borrowed more money than all previous presidents combined. That is why we are protesting. If you were the least bit concerned with the way our country is headed you would have been out there with us, instead of complaining about what we are trying to do. <abbr><em>Michael Teffts last blog post..<a href="http://www.themindoftefft.com/blog/2009/04/20/tea-parties-driving-liberals-and-msm-nuts/" rel="nofollow">Tea Parties Driving Liberals and MSM Nuts</a></abbr></em> Pam, Sorry you don’t approve of our timing on the Tea Parties.

I don't think much of anyone is very happy about the bailouts, democrat or republican, conservative or liberal. The bailouts started under Bush and the conservatives didn't seem to mind then... now all of a sudden they hate the idea now that there is a Democratic President. I don't pretend to understand the complexities of what is going on in this economic crisis we are facing... but we ALL feel like we need a bail out. We need to realize this isn't going to get fixed overnight. Seems like a lot of Americans think everything can be solved by a quick fix and that's just not true and a lot of what needs to happen will be painful, for many of us personally and for the country as a whole. I love that the conservatives say that no longer will they sit idly by and watch the country being destroyed... well this is a fine time to say that after sitting idly by the last eight years and now it pretty much IS destroyed (the economy anyway) and NOW they aren't happy because of the mess that the Bush administration left us to clean up.
