Right except that ***** didn't bail out the banks. That too was W. Don't feel bad though, the "liberal" media has misled many others, you are not alone.
Nearly half of Americans incorrectly think President ***** started the the bank bailout program, otherwise known as the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP), a new poll shows.
Just 34 percent of Americans surveyed by the Pew Research Center correctly said that TARP was enacted by the Bush administration. Almost half -- 47 percent -- think Mr. ***** started the bank bailout, according to the survey, conducted July 1-5.
The TARP program was created in 2008 to stabilize the financial system. The Treasury Department has committed more than $500 billion to more than 800 firms through the program.
