RE :”But leaving office with the economy in complete shambles, and I am not saying it is all GWB fault, made sure that minorities would see socialism as appealing for a long time....
Which is exactly why the libs wrecked it. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were a Democrat operation from Day One.

Well maybe GWB with a Republican congress should have made it their job to keep the economy from being ‘wrecked; so that this country would not be f..ed now.

BTW: if you truly believe that Dems on their own wrecked the economy with a Republican POTUS and a Republican congress ~2003 to 2006 then there is little argument for electing Republicans again is there? Sounds like they just do nothing but get the blame.

I have argued exactly that point on several occasions. The Republican majority tried to reform Fannie & Freddie, but the 2005 Financial Reform bill was torpedoed by a Democrat filibuster in the Senate.

That does not mean the GOPers shouldn't have continued to demand action, making an issue of the mess. Sadly, they did not.
