A video can be manipulated to be anything. Why is it that I do not recall any Bush/McCain warnings about the lending and financial industries—ever? I follow politics closely. I remember nothing appearing anywhere in the public domain in the dealing with this topic.

Please spare me these self-serving revisionist history fairy tales. There is enough of that coming fromt he left.

And if these people who propagate this nonsense want to go down this path then they open Bush/McCain to the question: What did they know and when did they know it.

As far as I’m concerned they aided and abetted the demrat attack on capitalism. Witnessing a criminal act and not reporting it is aiding and abetting the act.

Would that be the same public domain - fed by the mainstream media - that ignored the questions about the Obamassiah's birth certificate, his connections to terrorists, and his admitted drug habit?

Shout what you want from the rooftops, but if the MSM decides it's not "newsworthy" (meaning that it fits their pre-ordained view of the world) it doesn't make news and most of the world never hears of it.

Yes, they did try to warn people. FOX had a few clips (Orielly, too) when this first started, but the left wing media was 100% silent.
The Republicans were trying to warn people, but Barney Frank/ Chris Dodd shot them down as "Scare mongers looking for a political issue to scare the public", and the left wing media just sort of laughed it off.

Responding to you is worthless. You wont remember you even asked this question after you close your browser.

That's because there is a desperate attempt to insulate Bush from this mess.

Bush appointed first Martinez and then Jackson, both minorities, to head HUD. They were put there specifically to show that Bush wanted more minorities to own homes and actually pushed to increase the percentage of mortgages that Fannie and Freddie would buy.

Add to that that Bush had a republican Congress for four years and completely abdicated any idea of controlling this mess. He was betting that his programs of using tax dollars for downpayments on homes to the "underprivileged" would add to his legacy. He wasn't capable of understanding that these people were simply the same as welfare recipients and would never respect the largesse he handed them.

Go to Ol' Dan Tucker's page to see links and info that shines the light of truth on this.

I am sure to get hammered by the Bushbots still left. But, I know that because of Bush's policies and actions we now have Obama. Bush continually slid to the left until, at the very end, he became a full fledged socialist by approving the bailouts.
