No. Regulation helped encourage bad loans. Lack of regulations allowed the bankers to deceptively bundle these loans and create a bubble built on derivatives.
If you mean all the good regulations and laws that Clinton repealed, I agree that was deregulation.

But I think Rubio was eluding to the changes Clinton made to the Community Reinvestment Act, and executive orders to crack down on banks, claiming they were not making enough loans to "underserved" neighborhoods, and accusing them of redlining. This essentially forced banks to make sub-prime loans to keep the DoJ and regulators off their backs.

Yes, I like Rubio, but that comment made him look either partisan, or clueless.

Default water sip proves MR will do what needs to be done as CIC and that media is propaganda arm for Obama

Oh my goodness, MR caught on tape drinking water!!!!!!!

This event over rode the importance of the presidents hour plus long speech as CNN ran it about 20 times in 1 hour. Msnbc used a politician sipping water as their lead story!

A politician actually seen drinking water is more important than the economy, Korea firing a missle and the words of the president!!!.

That is an indictment of the media and validates their new role as the propaganda arm for obama.

The media is trying to make people think that taking a drink of water was a career ending flub. Who would vote for a man who had to drink water?

It simply proves MR will do what needs to be done as president.

That proves MR is a mortal and not a heavenly savior who not only doesn drink water but walks on water.

Perhaps if Obama took a sip of water he would not mispronounce so many words....corpse man, sharnel....but what use does a savior have of water?

What an idiotic poll by the OP, looks like something a 3rd grader would have come up with...

Yet you also claim to be a biblical expert? Uh huh.

Option 4 is totally appropriate for the OP.

I wonder if Obama drinks water in between his drags on a cigarette?

Not a horror just awkward and comical considering the circumstances.

Is slipping funny? In most cases not, but if a guy slips on a banana peel while he's holding a 3 layer cake, it's classic. 3 Stooges made a career out of everday mundane slips.

Liberal idiot logic:

Drinking water is bad during a speech and should ruin a career

Starting your career in politics in a home of an unrepentant terrorist is good

I really wish liberals would seek the mental help they need or just get the hell out of our country. You people are a disturbing group of hypocritical morons. You do nothing good for this country. Just please get the hell out. You aren't wanted here.
