Your first paragraph is really short on facts. In fact, it twists just about everything.
The author, Steve Rosenbaum, has been taking Bush to task pretty much for many years.

Your link is 6 1/2 years old, and certainly has some truths, but for example, when he refers to mortgages given during the Bush presidency, he totally and completely ignores and does not mention the Community Reinvestment act.

That act, backed and endorsed by the Clinton admin made the mortgages explode. Example, in Clinton years mortgages rose in the 50/60 percent range; in the Bush years it was about 1 percent.

Posting a link that old, you might as well gather all the articles Mr Rosenbaum has penned, going back even further and guess what...in each he goes after Bush and leaves out convenient facts such as I pointed out.

I think an analysis that old, with just selected facts is hardly something to post anywhere.
