The last two time was the TARP and the Auto bailout. Not paying your taxes is clealry a raw nerve issue for americans. A surprising mistake for Obama to not sense this issue and deal with it. As a side note, either the tax code is too complex and we need to fix it or these people are idiots and should not in government. However I can hear the words, they are cheaters. Then send them to jail.

The starkest contrast may be with President Franklin D. Roosevelt, who at his 1933 inauguration accused the financial elite of "stubbornness," "incompetence" and "false leadership" that had been "rejected by the hearts and minds of men."
"The money-changers have fled their high seats in the temple of our civilization," he declared.
In 1936, Roosevelt said the "economic royalists" are "unanimous in their hatred of me, and I welcome their hatred."
Obama's inaugural was mild by comparison, framing the recession as a "collective failure to make hard choices."
Clearly he shown little backbone to the world of finance. Not that Mccain would have done any better.
