Here is the best article I have read on who's to blame for the financial mess, and it's not even close to being the Bush Administration:
How the Democrats Created the Financial Crisis - by Kevin Hassett of Bloomsberg News.
He is getting death threats because of the article so you know he is very close to the truth. Oh, and btw, this is the only article I have seen that mentions McCain being one of the 3 co-sponsors of Senate Bill 190 (intended to place strict regulations and oversight of Fannie and Freddie), which the Dems killed in the Banking Committee in 2005 (it was re-introduced as S. 1100 but McCain isn't a sponsor of that one so far).
Here is an article that blames Andrew Cuomo who, as UOx42's HUD Secretary, forced Fannie and Freddie and everybody else to accept sub-prime mortgages:
