Keep in mind they managed to do this to us before in the great Republican depression, repealing Glass Stiegel was more harmful than anything else, and yes we have to blame Clinton for signing that bill, but who brought it to the floor and got it pushed through? And I guarantee you that no one from the inner cities or the poor were getting loans for a 600,000 home, that was working class people and yes they were stupid. but without the greed of those that would write the loan they would have never gotten a loan to begin with.

What party? I am not a Republican or a Democrat. [Registered Independent] My complaint is about self serving politicians of EITHER party. And it was those self servers that did things like repealing Glass-Steegal, thereby opening the door for the greedy to move into a formerly ultra conservative industry. Crooks are always with us, that is why we have laws and regulations to keep them at a minimum. But when the politicians drop the nations drawers and grab the nations ankles, why are they ALWAYS shocked at the results?
Complaining about obummer does not make me a Repub. He is not responsible for the financial and housing bust any more than any other self serving pol. He is responsible for being an inept and lying president that will accomplish nothing GOOD for this nation. I have never argued with you or any other liberal about Bush being BAD. Hell yes he was BAD! But he IS gone and BHO is a quantum leap worse. BHO"S spending is certifiably INSANE! That WILL be his enduring legacy.
