As I recall the pundits all jumped ship on that one, plenty of Dems hotdogged and demagogued, accusations of betrayal flowed thick and fast on Pacifica, and then it passed, and then it worked, and then nobody ever mentioned a word about TARP again.

So if past is prologue this too shall pass. No pun intended.
