Where can we find people who will stand up and accept responsibility for their actions?

I'll tell ya, they don't make them like they used to.
2010 is what you do. Throw as many out as possible.

But the comment I quoted(and you responded to) was about a specific time period, by your own logic, i could start quoting crap from the Harding, Coolidge and Hoover administrations

The video I showed was the CONGRESSIONAL HEARINGS in 2003 discussing the mortgage industry and how Democrats ridiculed that reforms were needed.

You didn't. You quoted what you think are contradictions based upon your viewpoint.

What part of over a dozen times Bush tried to push through mortgage reforms dont you comprehend? It was far more than speeches to try to reform the industry, but a speech saying that people need affordable homes doesnt even come close to supporting the notion that Bush supported bad mortgages especially when he pushed through bills that would have stopped them.

You dont need to control a committee in order to hold bills up from leaving it. You clearly need a better education on how our process works.

Sure. I was only saying that it would be nice if someone took some responsibility for their mistakes, as opposed trying to blame someone else for them. Bush maintained to the end that the economy was on solid foundation, even when we were on a free fall. Even to this day he never admitted he was dead wrong.
