Here you are trying to point the housing crisis at the democrats, F-ing rediculous. It is america that is to blame for the housing crisis, if the demand wasn't pushing the mortgage lenders, this wouldn't have happened. It is easy to blame this on Freddie/Fannie but this wouldn't have happened if the opportunity wasn't there. If were were responsible people who knew that not all of us could afford a house, there wouldn't have been any pressure on them to act.
I agree that this is not bush's fault but don't try and point the finger at democrats. They couldn't do anything on their own.
