Having already decimated the free market ideology with his reckless acceptance of liberal economics, President Bush is set to deliver another blow to rational, limited government by preparing to compromise on a $15 billion bailout for the Big Three automakers.

Democrats have been frantic to get this passed while Bush is still in office. One has to wonder just why that is when Obama has already pledged support for a bailout. The democrats desperately want Bush involved because they need political cover for what is essentially a handout to the UAW. The public is against a bailout, so Democrats need a useful idiot to take the blame with them. Bush, it seems, is their man. Rather than force the democrats to wait only a month and a half until they control all branches of government, and thus would have take full political blame, Bush has once again muddied the political waters and stolen a winning issue from republicans.
