Not sure how to take this one: Cheney Talking about Bush and GM Bankruptcy

Hmmm.

A tick over 13.0 sec. and you're through the quarter-mile. It's a rush, of course, but not overly dramatic. Try the same thing with this pair's predecessors of 1970 or so and you'll find yourself in a bit of a wrestling match. Ain't progress wonderful? Maybe yes, and maybe sometimes it's fun to wrestle."

This really isn't news. And it was the right thing to do. It would have been pretty messed up for Bush to do something huge (full-on bailout or letting GM fail entirely) and leave Obama with a mess on his hands.
