[QUOTE=dklassen;359636]Simply not true.

This was the main thing that got the ball rolling. Democrats in their own words Covering up the Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac. Let's also not forget that the Democrats controlled both houses of congress for the last two years of the Bush Admin. To lay all the blame on the Bush Administration, is nothing but partisan blindness... and something else, but I'll leave that one alone.

Don't hold back your punches, I can take it. The Republicans controlled Congress for at least eight years prior to 2008. They got us into Iraq. They destroyed the budget surplus. This wasn't only Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae. All of Wall Street was on the risky mortgage band wagon. The Republican President joined the lawsuit that killed the electric car in 2001.

You neglected to keep in your quote from my post the seven to eight hundred thousand jobs a month that we were losing during the latter Bush Administration.

You said "partisan blindness"? Quotes from FOX news hardly constitutes unbiased evidence.

One thing I will admit is that Clinton caused the demise of Glass-Stiegel. It was the law that separated the banking and investment industries.

I was a Republican until the evidence became overwhelming that they were a danger. I also listen to Pat Buchanan. Remember him? He left the Republican party because he wasn't on board with offshoring jobs.

I reiterate; quotes from FOX news are not unbiased evidence.
