Poll: Obama Approval Hits New High - 66% Sorry it's not your usual doom-n-gloom Underground Politics post. :D

My point is, the government not accepting repayment of TARP funds at this time is not as big a deal as some of the news organizations make it out to be. In fact, some banks that took TARP money find the strings attached to the money acceptable and fair. Also, the current administration...
