Only partisan hacks and political savant idiots believe it is squarely on Bush.
summers 73 !

Indeed that word .... "Idiots" is perhaps most descriptive to truly describe the "One Track Minds" of a few of the troublesome folks regarding
this well worn issue ! Thanks / Lamar

I didn't blame Obama for the onset of the crisis. I saw it coming since 2005 but we're what you call "right-wing internet whackjobs" according to partisan hacks like saggy et al. Since no one would listen to me, I helped myself to a lot of money in the market that helps to fund my current graduate studies very comfortably.

The majority without doubt lies on Greenspan and listening to Bush's childish insistence to keep interest rates low.
Suggesting that Greenspan would do anything Bush suggested indicates that you don't know which way the power flows. The FED controls the moolah, so they set the rules ... all of the rules. Any opposition to what the FED might do or want to do is purely theatre. Nothing more.

He is lying about everything else these days so why not that one?

The suit that sits in that chair is at least as empty as you say the chair was.

That is an entirely different discussion, Roy.

I think Our President is perfoming extremely well considering he was given command of the ship just as it was about to go over the falls.

You have been listening to too much Limbaugh show to be that uninformed.

that was not a tax cut, what I mean by a tax cut is to fire 80% of all federal workers, disband the departments they are in, and give all that money back to the people in a massive tax cut over the period of 1 week.

what tax cuts was giving was miniscule compared to whet the federal goverment could have actually done.
