On at least one point you are clearly confusing the Obama administration with the Bush administration. TARP was issued by Paulson....under Bush.
I support reforming the healthcare system because it needs it. I have looked all over for the bill itself so I could read it but alas...no luck.
And your choice of the word regime is telling.
So are you a birther too?

Let me address your issues in order. As I have repeatedly pointed out using your own reference, and you continue to deny, jamming a bill through in the middle of the night is a Democrat not a Republican tactic. The real question for you is 'why do you continue to deny the truth'?
I have not confused the actions of the Bush and Obama administrations. In this point you appear to be confusing two different bills. TARP was a program passed to buttress the financial system. Upon coming into office, Obama immediately diverted funds to other purposes. The Stimulus bill is an entirely different item jammed through in the middle of the night, committing much more money than TARP ever had.
I believe we need to do something about healthcare, but it should be done slowly, using pilot programs such as suggested by Steve Z. It should not include coverage for people here illegally. I have not read the bill in total, but what I have read frightens me. It is full government control and rationing of healthcare. This link will take you to the GPO and HR 3200.

The use of the word ‘regime’ is deliberate. We have an administration with well over 30 czars, primarily extreme left wing representatives, who are accountable to no one except the president. This is not the government spelled out is our constitution.
As to your ‘birther’ question – The House of Representatives unanimously passed a resolution Monday, July 27th honoring Hawaii as the birthplace of Barack Obama, aka Barry Soetoro. Although I have my questions, I believe this puts the issue to bed.
