Bush Team Reportedly Won’t Request More Bailout Cash

Looks like the Bush administration is going to punt this issue to Barack Obama:

From Bloomberg:

The Bush administration told congressional aides it won't ask lawmakers to release $350 billion remaining as part of the $700 billion U.S. financial- rescue package, people familiar with the matter said.

The administration of President George W. Bush ends in less than 10 weeks, and a delay in requesting the cash would leave it to President-elect Barack Obama to tap remaining cash in the bailout money.
