The facts are clear that the whole concept for "sub prime" mortgages started under Carter and then were "greatly" expanded under Clinton. Have you not read the analysis of what has happened. As the realities of what was happening started to become very clear, the republicans tried many times to pass reform and work with the democrats in congress and they kept denying there was a problem. There are plenty of You Tube videos out there showing democratic leaders in there own words ignoring the problem and bashing the auditor that surfaced the issues at Fannie and Freddie.

Come on, who and what cause the banking crisis if it was not the introduction and later expansion of sub prime mortgages by the democrats. I would love your answer.

And yes the economy is bad right now .... we just had a huge job loss number .... but unemployment has not been this bad since 1994 .... gee that was Clinton that was president. And yes things improved under Clinton, partly because there was a Republican congress that kept him in check.

No, I am not a Bush lover, but the facts are clear when he took office we had the collapse of the tech bubble, then we had 9/11 and Bush implemented policies and tax cuts that got the economy moving, was elected to a second term and we had excellent job growth and most of all no further terrorist attacks.

I say again ... if Clinton responded to the "multiple" terrorist attacks while he was president, we most likely would not have had 9/11 and we would not have had the war in Iraq. But Bush had to address what Clinton did not while terrorist kept testing how far they could go.

But I forgot, you think it was our fault 9/11 happened or that we deserved it. If that is the case, then it was left over from Clinton since Bush had not been in office that long when it happened.

I admire Bush that he put our countrys safety and freedom first, and you and every other american should be doing the same every day there is not another attack on our nation.
