Transition PeriodReader comment on: Young Guns Submitted by BikerGar (United States), Sep 16, 2010 09:19 Although the reviewers dates are correct as to auto industry loans and bailouts I believe starting soon after the election the Bush administration allowed the incoming admin to kick the can down the road until President Obama was sworn in. I think that most, if not all loans although having dates during the Bush admin, were at the recommendation and urging of the incoming Obama admin.

But it could have done otherwise. Under the Constitution, we only have one president at a time, and the new one doesn't take office until he is sworn in on Inauguration Day. Comment on this item |
