These votes don't hurt until you run for President.

(105 posts)The Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) is a program of the United States government to purchase assets and equity from financial institutions to strengthen its financial sector that was signed into law by U.S. President George W. Bush on October 3, 2008.
Which part of the above says Auto Bailout?
Republicans didn't support an auto bailout.
Thanks to President Obama who took some of the second tranche of the bank bailout and give some of it to the auto industry.
You guys were just not paying attention?

(9,967 posts)Dishonest is to take credit for the bill he voted against, which saved the auto industry.
Dishonest is to say that what Hillary said was false, when she isn't there to defend herself.
Don't you think that he would have jumped to say he voted for it AT THE DEBATE? But of course he couldn't say it to her face, because he knew she was right.

(105 posts)When President Bush signed it on October 8, 2008 there was no mention of an auto bailout in the TARP bill.
This is totally dishonest horse maneur from someone who is supposed to be a presidential candidate.
And the way she parsed her words she knew she was lying.

(24,689 posts)However, Sanders claim that there was only one vote in the Senate to support the auto bailout ignores another Senate vote on Jan. 15, 2009. Sanders voted for a resolution on that day that would have blocked the release of an additional $350 billion for the Troubled Asset Relief Program (a.k.a., the Wall Street bailout). A small part of that $350 billion $4 billion was earmarked for the auto industry.

(105 posts)I really admired President Bill Clinton and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
I was even disappointed for a time when President Obama won the primary.
But my eyes have been opened recently.
I am so disappointed.
