There was a massive effort last week timed to coincide with the release of Sarah Palin's book "Going Rogue" to blame her for the bailouts.
Reporters were asking people waiting in line if they know Palin supported bailouts and that she was directly responsible for the bad economy, yet Obama gets a pass.
Sarah Palin was part of the McCain ticket which supported TARP which was used to bail out banks, GM and Chrysler. It amounted to about $400 billion dollars. Eventually the Obama used it as a way to influence these bailed out companies to fire their CEOs and hire friends of Obama.
The result is many of these banks are attempting to pay it back even though they don't have to money to do it. GM and Chrysler would have been better off if they had not taken the funds because they're currently trailing Ford, who never took a cent, in sales and profits. It's a lesson that one should learn, never take money from the government.
But one must ask the question, how can the media blame Sarah Palin for the bailouts when in fact she had nothing to do with it, and at the same time give Obama a complete pass on it even though he voted for the TARP bill and signed into law the Stimulus Bill? He is directly responsible for signing into law bills that have more then tripled the deficit.

Let's face it, facts don't matter anymore. Spin is everything. How can we trust a President that can pretty much get away with just about anything. He can't be blamed for this mess, a mess he helped to cause. Let's not forget he chaired the TARP meetings in the White House. How can anyone claim this is all Boooooooosh's fault? And why do they think they can get away with blaming it on Sarah Palin now?
