Has Obama done something right?

So now the government is buying up all the toxic loans from the banks, sounds reasonable right? After all, its only with the idea that investors will put up their hard earned dollars first, then government will step in with additional dollars. But wait, aren't investors, capitalists etc. bad people? According to the Obama they are the ones that need to be punished, now he wants them to help? Interesting scenario, just remember the story of the beaver and the scorpion. The scorpion asked the beaver for a ride across the river, the beaver was reluctant because he thought the scorpion would sting him leaving him to die. But, the scorpion convinced him otherwise. Halfway across the river the scorpion stings the beaver. As the beaver feels the effects of the poison entering his body he asks the scorpion why. The scorpion tells him you can't change the true character of the animal. Interestingly enough the scorpion drowns because he can't swim the remaining way. So, here's the scorpion Obama telling the beaver investors that he won't sting them. I wonder if they will both end up drowning?
