Oh and lets not forget Bush's involvement in the little financial mess were currently in. I know the far right conveniently believes that the dems are totally to blame ie: Clinton and Barney Frank, but anyone looking honestly at this situation (the financial one) can identify that it took both parties and a great deal of action and inaction by their members. Let’s not conveniently forget that the republicans controlled the house from 1997 until 2006, a period of time that most economists now agree in which the seeds for today’s destruction were sown.

Yes Clinton was pres until 2000, however repubs held veto power. Oh and lets us really not think of 2000-2006. Oh my, if this entire financial mess is the fabrication of the evil candy swiping dems then why couldn’t a repub controlled house and a repub pres not address it over a period of six years? Sounds a little too convenient to me, does it not to you? LOL

Look, the point of my post isn’t to vilify republicans. I truly believe that both parties got us here. Additionally a great deal of fault can be dumped right at the front door of the average American. After all, it wasn’t the politicians out force selling homes that were obviously beyond the means of the buyers. There is plenty of blame to go around. Stop the crap. This situation does not fall completely at Barrack’s door. The man has had 8 months to correct issues brewing for the past 10 years. 8 months barely registers as a blip, and no matter how much you would like to believe we don’t live in the magical land of OZ where saviors snap their fingers causing all the boogey men to crawl away.
