Bush asks for
final $350 billion
WASHINGTON Acting
at Barack Obama’s behest,
President George W. Bush
on Monday asked Congress
for the final $350 billion in
the financial bailout fund,
effectively ceding economic
reins to the president-elect
in an extraordinary display
of transition teamwork.
Obama also sharply crit
icized Bush’s handling of
the money and promised
radical changes.
Bush’s move sets the
stage for Obama to get
swift access to the $350 bil
lion and the opportunity to
overhaul the much-criti
cized rescue package after
taking office next Tuesday.
Obama said that it would
be “irresponsible ... to enter
into the administration
without any potential
ammunition should there
be some sort of emergency
or weakening of the finan
cial system.”
Congress, where the use
of the money has met stiff
Businessman investigated after crash
MILTON, Fla. An Indiana
businessman whose financial man
agement companies were under
investigation apparently bailed out
of his small plane and let it crashin
what may have been an elaborate
attempt to fake his own death.
Authorities searched Monday
for Marcus Schrenker after he
apparently made a phony distress
call and secretly parachuted to
safety near Birmingham, Ala. His
single-engine plane continued fly
ing on autopilot and eventually
crashed late Sunday more than 200
miles away in the Florida
Panhandle. '
In the distress call, Schrenker
said the windshield had imploded
and he was bleeding profusely,
according to the sheriff’s office in
Santa Rosa County, where the
plane crashed.
But when investigators found
the plane, its door was ajar and the
wreckage showed no signs of blood
or the blown windshield.
In the weeks before the crash,
Schrenker’s life was spiraling down
ward: He lost a half-million-dollar
judgment against one of his com
panies when he skipped a court
hearing. His wife filed for divorce,
and investigators probing his busi
nesses for possible securities viola
tions searched his home and office.

bipartisan skepticism, has
15 days to vote to reject the
request. Senate Majority
Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev.,
was considering holding a
vote on a resolution of dis
approval as early as
Thursday in hopes it would
be defeated, thus making
the funds available about a
week after Obama inherits
one of the worst financial
crises in U.S. history.
“It is clear that the finan
cial system, although
improved from where it was
in September, is still frail,”
Obama said, a few hours
after seeking Bush’s help in
requesting the money.
If Congress goes along,
Obama would have a huge
cache of bailout money at
his disposal and much
more to come in the

Burris succeeds Obama
as Democratic Senator
WASHINGTON Eager to put
the scandal-tainted standoff behind
them, Senate Democrats accepted
Roland Burris as President-elect
Barack Obama’s
Senate successor on
Monday and said
they expect to swear
in the new Illinois
senator this week.
“He is now the
senator-designate
from Illinois and, as
such, will be accord
ed all the rights and
privileges of a sena
tor-elect,” Senate
Majority Leader Harry Reid and
Sen. Dick Durbin of Illinois said in a
joint statement.
At a news conference in Chicago,
Burris called himself honored and
humbled to be the state’s next
junior senator. “I’m thankful for the
opportunity to serve,” he said, “I
recognize that my appointment trig
gered a challenging time for many.”

Summers, Obama’s choice
for National Economic
Council director, said the

also impose tougher restric

“Many of us have been

Democrats from dragging on into
Obama’s inauguration festivities
that begin this weekend, and it
capped a grudging, gradual retreat
by the Senate’s top Democrats.
Initially they had tried to dis
suade Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich,
who faces a state Senate impeach
ment trial, from making an appoint
ment and suggested that his pick
would not be seated. Last week,
Burris’ credentials were rejected by
Senate Democrats in a circus-like
atmosphere that tarnished the
opening day festivities of the new
Congress.
But Reid and Durbin said they
now anticipate that Burris, a former
Illinois attorney general, will be
seated this week, barring objections
from Republicans.
While a victory for Burris, the
move is a major reversal for Senate
Democrats.
They initially indicated they
would refuse to seat Burris and
objected to the appointment by
Blagojevich, who is accused by fed
eral investigators of seeking to trade
the Senate seat for personal favors.
Senators feared that any appoin
tee would be tainted, even though
Burris does not stand accused of
wrongdoing.

Democrats
vote to
re-elect
Republican
ATLANTA Georgia’s
legislative leaders sought
to project a unified front
as they opened the 2009
session Monday at the
Capitol.
In the House,
Democrats decided
against offering their own
candidate to run against
House Speaker Glenn
Richardson, whose very
name riles up many House
Democrats.
Instead, the 180-mem
ber chamber voted by
acclamation to re-elect
the Republican.
House Minority Leader
Dußose Porter said he
decided to support
Richardson to “put aside
partisan rancor.”
“We need to see if we
can put partisanship
aside and take a page
from what our new presi
dent is doing,” said Porter,
the chamber’s top
Democrat.
In the Senate, Lt. Gov.
Casey Cagle sought to put
a positive spin on the
bleak economic news.
Cagle said the budget
challenges “create won
derful, wonderful oppor
tunity” to trim Georgia’s
bloated government.
He offered a warning to
those proposing tax
increases to fill the bud
get hole: “Make no mis
take I will come down
on the side of downsizing
state government.”
Gov. Sonny Perdue will
unveil his budget plan
Wednesday and address a
joint session of the Senate
and the House.
