That is true. But Jorge was responsible for bailing out failed companies with public money right before the election, Jorge looked the other way as the army of illegals grew and pandered to Vicente Fox. Jorge screwed up the aftermath of our victory in Iraq. Jorge ignored the mess involving Ginny Mae and Freddy Mac. Jorge caved to the Dems on the issue of a Homeland Security Department and supported the idiotic “Patriot” Act. I don’t like the Bushes one bit either. But I will more closely scrutinize the Donskd’s comments in the future on Democrats. At this point I give him a pass on trying to do what any candidate does, trying to get s one support from the other side.
But you so miss the point....when Jorge (as you say) did all those things, he was teaming with DEMOCRATS to get them done...meaning Trumps comment that Democrats would not have caused that is just as idiotic as I said it is.
Jorge made mistakes, but they were always being too much like Democrats. And BTW, to Jorge and Juan (McCain)s credit - and I cannot stand either of them - they both tried to call out Fannie and Freddie in 2005-6-7 - but were not successful. Again, Jorge is not running. Juan is not running. But someone who doesn’t understand what caused the crash is....and his name is Trump .
+1.
“Jorge ignored the mess involving Ginny Mae and Freddy Mac. “
You mean Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Ginny Mae is something else.
Bush did advocate reforming Fannie and Freddie, but the reforms had nothing to do with subprime lending. The issue was their size and that they were operating with too low of a capital ratio. Fannie’s leadership was also cooking the books to enhance their personal bonuses.
