US Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson said in an interview Monday he would likely leave the remainder of a 700 billion dollar finance sector bailout fund for the incoming administration of president-elect Barack Obama.

The Wall Street Journal quoted Paulson as saying he would probably not tap the remaining 410 billion dollars of the rescue fund to launch any substantial new programs.


" Looks to me like he want to share the wealth and the blame with Obama. If he is just going to sit on that mountain of cash now, why the hasty rush to push the bailout package through Congress??"
