He’d be saying “I told you so”
Obama is leaning towards the Swedish plan for restoring bank solvency and credit flow, which Dan was talking about 6 months ago.

President Obama with Senate President Groff and House Speaker Carroll.
and last session we had a Jewish Speaker and Senate Majority leader (Romanoff and Gordon) though not Senate President (Fitzgerald, a woman). Guess we’re really going to hell in a handbasket! Look out, white guys!
because there’s apparently only so much humiliation one guy can put himself through, after embarrassing himself with the stimulus plan, the Israel conflict, and the DTV transition.
New spokesman for the Republican party: Joe the Swastika Guy!
What does Joe the Swastika Guy think about universal health care? Joe the Swastika Guy, how would you restore confidence in the financial system? How is renewable energy policy going to affect Joe the Swastika Guy?

AP sources: UAW deal cuts bonuses, some raises
“DETROIT – The United Auto Workers’ deal with Detroit’s three automakers limits overtime, changes work rules, cuts lump-sum cash bonuses and gets rid of cost-of-living pay raises to help reduce the companies’ labor costs, people briefed on the agreement said Wednesday.
“The UAW announced Tuesday that it reached the tentative agreement with General Motors Corp., Chrysler LLC and Ford Motor Co. over contract concessions, as GM and Chrysler sent plans to the Treasury Department asking for a total of $39 billion in government financing to help them survive. Concessions with the union are a condition of the $17.4 billion in government loans that the automakers have received so far.
“Base wages for UAW workers will remain the same, but the deal limits supplemental pay that laid-off workers receive while they collect unemployment benefits, said the people, who spoke on condition of anonymity because union members have not been told about the terms.”

Oh, now what inane talking point are you going to parrot now? The Unions didn’t single-handedly collapse the Auto Industry, so what imaginary evil are you guys going to hoot about now?
