CRAIN'S CHICAGO BUSINESS
-- DIERSEN HEADLINE: Outrageously, Obama promises limousine liberals and those who pay little or no taxes that if they elect him that the bailout is "only the beginning." Diersen argues that the beginning Obama promises is the beginning of socialism and the end of capitalism. Obama argues that the bailout failed because it was "misunderstood and poorly communicated." Diersen argues that the more that taxpayers learn about the bailout, the more strongly they will oppose it.
