I do know that President Bush did not order banks to begin issuing sub-prime mortgages. The actual practice began during the Clinton years.

Many bankers were heeding Bush/Greenspan warnings to curtail sub primes, when democrat operators in the FDIC threatened them with audits, and investigation (publicly calling them racists) if they did.
