I miss his character. That said, I miss neither his policies nor his political instincts, in the least.
Bush bears much blame for the election of the current occupants of the the WH.
I always thought it was the fall of the housing industry, Fannie and Freddie, both under the oversight of Barney Frank and the House Financial Services Committee......(or should I say "lack of oversight")
In case you've forgotten, it was the Bush administration that proposed tighter regulation on both those companies while Barney argued that neither one of them were facing any financial crisis. Frank also complained that the administration was more concerned about financial safety than about housing.
And of course we know how that ended up.......
So please, put the blame where it belongs, straight on the lap of Barney Frank and the House Financial Services Committee, not the Bush Administration...........
