REPORT: Cheney says Bush left GM bankruptcy for the next guy

This, according to former vice-president Dick Cheney, who reportedly admitted in a recent interview on Fox News that the Bush administration floated the $17.4 billion auto industry bailout package in order to give the outgoing administration enough time to exit and for the next administration to settle in before the house of cards in Detroit came tumbling down. According to Cheney, President Bush “decided that he did not want to be the one who pulled the plug just before he left office.”
