Could Citi's troubles make Paulson rethink TARP, again?As Citigroup Inc.'s shares continue their death spiral, talk of the banking behemoth's cloudy future weighs heavy on Wall Street's collective mind and provides CNBC's talking heads plenty of air time.

Although two months are left in the Bush administration before President-elect Barack Obama takes the reins in Washington, Paulson announced earlier in the week he will no longer disperse Troubled Asset Relief Plan funds -- in other words he's going on sabbatical until he has to brief his replacement on TARP.
