Does anyone expect the people who got us into this mess to get us out. How bout explaining what happened to Fannie Mae before you go telling the banking world what to do. We are arriving in Cuba.

Pray for America

Oh, didn’t you listen during the campaign? That was under the Bush Administration (don’t bother me with the fact that Dems controlled Congress and chaired the oversight committees)
