WOW, that one gets Tweeted. Bail-outs for me, but not for thee! Figures. More Republican hypocrisy.

But hey, watch that government spending, you awful liberals!

I should add that this is the guy so many believe will save the economy. He couldn't even save his business without the government's help.

This "bailout" headline is misleading. This is not the 2009 current bailout money. This was an underfunded pension plan on a company that closed in 2001!

And by underfunded we are talking about union negotiations here that went south. Not money for business operations.
