And a lot of people either don’t realize or won’t admit that the “you can buy a house if you’re breathing” period started in 2005 when W and the repubs held the power.
Bush railed against what was going on in congress re: fanny and freddie....he just did not continue after a short while and signed the bills necessary to get what he wanted in trade....the real enemies in this was buttwipes like Bawney Fwank and Chuckie ‘putzhead’ Schumer....but Bush was not innocent by any stretch.
And even more people don't remember (or choose to forget) that even McCain warned us about Fannie and Freddie.
And now we'd rather blame them (Bush, McCain, RINO's, whoever) instead of ourselves. Perfectly natural.
