You're really grasping at straws when it comes to making any correlation here. How does a bank that received TARP money (which was requested by and signed into law by Bush) compare to Haliburton receiving no-bid contracts (also under Bush)?

There are much better, and obvious, examples of the Obama administration putting corporate big wigs into political roles.
And when the rating goes up Obama's rating goes up too. Correlation??
