67. The bank bailout was first thing that angered the left-wingers and right-wingers equally
on my local paper's website. (The second was a scandal in which nursing home employees abused patients. It was heartening to see both righties and lefties appalled by that.)

I was suspicious of TARP, but I KNEW it was a scam when the banksters were allowed to keep their bonuses "because contracts are sacred" while the auto workers were forced to give up THEIR contracts. That was the thing that ended all doubts about whose side Obama is on.
