WASHINGTON - President Bush said Monday there could be more decisions like the government’s dramatic rescue of Citigroup if other institutions need help.

Bush also says he consulted with President-elect Barack Obama on the Citigroup rescue. Bush says “There is close cooperation” between his administration and the Obama camp.

Referring to the Citigroup rescue, Bush said “We have made these kind of decisions in the past. We made one last night and if need be we will make these kind of decisions to safeguard our financial system in the future.”

He spoke outside the Treasury Department after consulting with Secretary Henry Paulson.

1. There's a shocker

And what I want to know is that if Bush stands by these bailouts as the right thing to do, why are we authorizing them on Sunday night when no one is paying attention?

4. Life Boats are for the use of First Class Only, violaters will be prosecuted!

All other passengers are invited to stay aboard until rescue ships arrive, in about two days,

We have some questions from passengers regaarding the condition of the vessel. Estimates are that the Great Ship Homeland will be fully submerged in 2 hours. Again no cause for alarm, as we have stated, the rescue ships for passengers other than First Class will arrive in 48 hours more or less.

We advise you to dress warm as the water temp is 36 degrees.

Thank You for choosing Homeland Pleasure Cruses!

6. Now WHY Don't I Believe This Part?

Bush says “There is close cooperation” between his administration and the Obama camp.


Maybe because Obama would have to be insane to go along with anything Bush does. I'm expecting a denial from the Obama people any minute.
