The former vice president stated that the choice was made in order to aid the Obama administration, thinking that forcing GM to restructure late in the Bush term would have dumped on Obama the “first crises the new administration would have to deal with.”
“These are big issues and [Bush] wouldn't be there through the process of managing it, but in effect, would have sort of pulled the plug on GM,” Cheney said, adding that he and Bush wanted to allow Obama’s team to “decide what they wanted to do.”
So, what's the problem???

Dick Cheney: George W. Bush passed buck on GM
He keeps this up and Busy will disown him.
What happened to the Darth Vader we knew and hated? Is he now kissing up to the liberals?
Dick Cheney: George W. Bush passed buck on GM - Andy Barr - POLITICO.com
Former Vice President Dick Cheney says that former President George W. Bush did not want to be the one who “pulled the plug” on General Motors and instead decided to pass on the issue to President Barack Obama.
“I thought that, eventually, the right outcome was going to be bankruptcy,” Cheney said of the company during the second part of interview with Fox News’ Greta Van Susteren that aired Tuesday night.
“[GM] had to go through such a dramatic restructuring to have any chance of survival that they had to be able to renegotiate labor contracts and so forth,” he said. “And the president decided that he did not want to be the one who pulled the plug just before he left office.”
Cheney said that rather than acting on GM, the Bush administration “put together a package that tided GM over until the new administration had a chance to look at it.”
The former vice president stated that the choice was made in order to aid the Obama administration, thinking that forcing GM to restructure late in the Bush term would have dumped on Obama the “first crises the new administration would have to deal with.”

I don't have a problem with it at all, I am just surprised at how candid he is now.First, he comes out in support of same-sex marriage, then he admits there was never any Iraq-9/11 link. Now this?!?

Duh Min0, he's making all the right moves to be the next President. Everything he does from now on is to wash away the foul stench he left in our noses and Georgie boy will be his scapegoat.....
Coarse edged youth, the irish pendants string from their smiles
not yet plucked as to slacken the seams
and drag down the features of age,
no folds or creases from unkempt wear
eyes of tranquilty, crystalline-beads
no sign of despair in their hair, nor their hearts
but oh they have yet to be experienced and that makes aging so very worth it...ML circa2012

This is a good start at salvaging the party.
If sense were common, everyone would have it.
