    What about the stimulus?

    Go after the ill-gotten money? Fine. But criminal charges? Nope.

    That was his thank you cards for voter support in 2008.

    Amazed, I've been gone a while and there's little continued discussion on the fuckup of the IRS under his people's authorizations to go after the Tea Party....should have been mosques and the Premier would have been under scourge and sword right now.

    That was my point, though not expressly stated.

    Well, what do we have here? Dem senators wrote to the IRS telling them to go after conservative groups. And if the IRS didn't do their bidding, they'd change the IRS laws.

    How will the chin-drippers defend this?

    How would have John McCain handled the financial crisis better?

    I don't understand.

    What would John McCain have done differently? The Obama presidency was called an "abortion" a page back. What would John McCain have done differently to handle the finanical crisis? What?

    If you want to rehash the 2008 election as a deflection of all the Obama scandals, you'll have to do it with someone else.

    Someone called this an "abortion of a presidency." The IRS double-checking applications notwithstanding, this presidency has been longer than one week long.

    What would have John McCain done differently? How would have John McCain guided us through the financial crisis? How?

    Clearly, he would have done some things differently. I'd bet a year's salary our national debt would be a lot lower. But debating hypotheticals about what he would have done differently would only be masturbation. In other words, you can do that with yourself. :D
