Our whole government needs to be blown up. This is just absolute insanity. By this Im not just referring to Pelosi saying this, Im referring to EVERY single thing being someone on the other sides fault with nothing ever getting done.
Pelosi just got called onto the carpet by the Catholic church for lying about church doctrine when it comes to killing a baby. Last I checked, and I did, The Freddie Mac/Fannie May were Democrat conceived and implemented, and now 2 of those fine folks are helping run Obama's Campaign! Now we know why Obama isn't calling for an investigation of Fannie and Freddie. If Pelosi wants to blame Bush, why isn't she calling for an INVESTIGATION of the whole affair as she did when it came to Enron? Could it be that she doesn't WANT an investigation? Why not if she thinks it would bury Bush? Maybe she knows her party would be the one to get Buried perhaps? Me thinks she protests too loudly!

You're correct, and there is no cure for the problem with the two party system. The demos spent the last eight years, rather thar cooperating and getting things done, they fought every step of the way, in the quest of getting their power back. The heck with the people of America, we want our power back..!
If we cooperate, and all really work hard together, we can make a wonderful America, but if we make things that great, our party will never get back in power, so we'll spend our time making life as difficult as we can and hope to find the fatal flaw that will propel us back into power.
That goes for the other side, too, when they are out of power, not just the demos doing it.
In a company, the guy at the top has the ultimate power, so you get in-step with the way he wants things done. You don't have to like his idea, or agree with it, but will damned sure do your best to follows his orders. The big guy sinks or swims on his own, he's good or he's gone.
Goverment doesn't work efficiently like that. Half the parties are constanly fighting the other half, so little is acomplished, and noone ever getts fired... The taxpayers are the losers. The system is designed for failure...
Other than that, the world is perfect....!
Fannie and Freddie are Dem controlled companies. Obama's connected with several of their execs including:
Quote:
A former member of Barack Obama’s VP search team, James A. Johnson, served as chairman of Fannie Mae. Although the Obama campaign doesn’t take contributions from lobbyists, it has received significant donations from both companies’ employees and PACs.
If you're going to use her statement as an example, don't you at least have to offer some argument that Dems are responsible for the current crisis??
I agree that Dems in Congress have almost nothing to do with the current crisis.
The don't control the Federal Reserve. The don't control the SEC, they didn't have a President in Power for the last eight years. They didn't control both houses of Congress and the Presidency for the last 6 of 8 years.
If it were up to Democrats in Congress the mortgage industry never would have been deregulated. That was pushed by a GOP controlled Congress in 1999.

My god man, where have you been? First it started with Clinton deregulating the industry, then at the same time the creation of programs to encourage "poor" people to buy houses, then by ignoring Bushs request several years ago to put in an oversight to Fannie Mae/Mac, then lets not ignore the fact that while america knew we were facing troubled times, the Senate House Ways and Means Committe on Finance has done absolutely NOTHING, before, during and still now.. (need I tell you that the very same committe ridiculed Bush for trying to put in Oversight to Mae/Mac several years ago and is run by Democrats?)
The truth is "The Buck Stops hear" Two years isn't enough time for any administration to have a large lasting impact that we are facing today it was the last 8 years of uncensored spending of taxes for the wealthy so they can spend all of US's money in europe and this damn war in Iraq
