Bush's final act of treason?
Buh seems determined to sink the U.S. economy before he leaves office:

http://apnews.myway.com/article/20081117/D94GUIK80.html

Prospects dimmed Monday for enactment of a $25 billion bailout for the faltering auto industry before year's end, as congressional Democrats and the Bush administration seemed headed for a stalemate. Help for Detroit's Big Three, which have been battered by the economic meltdown that has choked their sales and frozen their credit, is falling victim to a partisan fight over where the money should come from.

Senate Democrats said they would press ahead with their plan to carve out a portion of the $700 billion Wall Street bailout to pay for the loans, but aides in both parties and lobbyists tracking the plan acknowledged they did not currently have the votes to do so. The White House and congressional Republicans insist that the automaker bailout money instead come from redirecting a separate $25 billion loan program approved by Congress to help the industry develop more fuel-efficient vehicles.

1. how is this "treason" by bush, when all it would take was a veto proof majority in Congress
to make it happen, and its not even clear that Congress can muster the votes to pass it at all?

2. The whole focus of his administration has been to enrich himself
and his buddies, nothing else. And the final Grand Theft is the icing on the cake.

4. Any way to just put him in a straight jacket for the next few months?
And feed him with a straw? It'd be a nice way to send the man out I believe. Good for the old legacy. Good for the old country.
