In one sense, the meltdown at Fannie and Freddie is Bush's fault. As we get further from the Bush administration, his strengths and weaknesses will get clearer.

It seems to me that Bush really loves America, and always tried to do the right thing by her. He made the mistake of thinking that the DemoRats think the same way ("New Tone"). That, combined with his famous lack of communication directly to the public that we all grew so frustrated with (that and the enemedia) kept this story under wraps until it blew up and couldn't be denied any more.

When I say it's Bush's fault, what I really mean of course is that he should have done more to sound the alarm to the public. Although you could make the case, given that as of November 4, 2008 we have empirical evidence that 52% of America is clinically brain dead, he could have showed up naked to a press conference with the message tattooed on his back, and no one would have noticed.

LOL. Truth is stranger than fiction at times.
