one more time, the housing bubble started building under the clinton administration in the late 90s, bush tried several times to rein in the sub prime markets, but the DEMOCRATS in congress blocked all his efforts.

no, the bubble burst in 2008, but you cant blame bush for that as he in fact tried to make the needed changes to prevent that from happening. stop your hatred of bush and clear your mind, and see the real facts.

Not a hatred of Bush... although he would deserve it for stupidity... I doubt he was the one who made any of the major decisions anyway... Just going by the facts... of what went on under the Bush watch...

health care reform? are you serious? that is the biggest pig in a poke our government has foisted on the nation. it is an overly expensive law that will not do the things the democrats claim it will, in fact it will ruin the best health care system in the world. it will cost several times what it is claimed to cost, will destroy the the economy with massively huge deficits every year.

infrastructure upgrades? where? the steal from us package has not done anything that was claimed, and personally i dont count turtle tunnels, frisbee golf courses, and new dog parks infrastructure.

tax cuts for 98% of the people? in your dreams. wait until next year when all the new taxes in the health care law kick in on all medical products.

if you have no complaints about the crap this administration has done, then either you are a hardcore liberal, or you need to grow up and finish school.

This was MANDATED to Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae. It was a liberal policy.

Of course they should not have been given these loans. However, leave it to the liberal to create a disaster out of heart felt sympathy.

Like most other issues, perhaps you should read and learn a little bit about them before forming an opinion. In that case, at least you would have an informed opinion. To any rational being, the liberal origins of the housing crash are damning. However, liberals simply deny these facts, as they are uncomfortable details and contradict thier personal emotional position on this issue.

Costly mandate of insurance?... Dropping kids with pre-existing conditions sure saves a lot of money...

Tax cuts for everybody under $250,000... Unless the Republicans fillibuster...

Obama announced $50 BILLION in infrastructure yesterday... Bush did no such thing except war spending...
