Do those who blame Bush for housing bubble/economic collapse hate facts, or just ignorant to them?

That pretty much sums it up.

Liberals in Congress through Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac strong-armed banks into giving out mortgages people simply could not afford. It's blew up in our face.

Why do you think Banks are not allowed to consider someone being on welfare (which is suppose to be temporary assistance, not permanent income) when determining their ability to repay a loan?

Why did Liberals do it? Buying votes.

Bush had years to see that and do something about it.

Have you ever noticed how close the Bush family and the Clinton family is? That's why I would not vote for a Clinton.

You could see that the Clinton's and the Bush family were following the same agendas. The house and senate also went along with most of what they wanted.

You dont see that happening with Obama.

Obama has to fight for everything he told the people he would do and they are still trying to block everything.

Its time to replace most of the house and the senate so the president can do the peoples bidding, it is what he was voted in to do.

Im a conservative Republican and I have to disagree with you about the whole fannie mae and Freddie mac being forced to give loans ordeal.

No one can be forced by the Government to make loans when its private money, The problem is "Guaranteed Loans" or government back loans which the tax payer is on the hook on.

This is a widespread problem because major loan companies lobby politicians to pass legislation's to make sure their loans are government back, as a result they could care less who they lend it to as long as they lend it to as much people as possible.

As a result

-97% of all mortgages in the US are government backed.

-A majority of all private student loans are Government backed

-Many car loans are now Government backed.

-Bank deposits are government backed.

-Privately owned houses in areas prone to catastrophes are government backed.

And there might be more.

This issues are caused by mainstream politicians in general and destroying the country, if you want to know more about this search youtube videos of a guy name "Peter Schiff".

Point being Obama nor Bush could do anything about this as it is a mainstream problem with the fiscal system in the US.

Everyone already blames the repeal of Glass-Steagall, which happened under Clinton's watch, for the mortgage crisis. Your article was written two weeks after the Republicans repealed it.

GWB left office w/ the lowest approval rating in history. I suspect you fail to come to grips w/ how you voted for a mistake.

All the words that you typed are right wing rhetoric that by design are fashioned to tell people like you what you want to hear.

So that explains all of it? That is about 10% of what happened. Explain to be the sub-prime mortgage companies? How about u debate me on it?

Barney's Frank is just rolling around in his little apartment, laughing at what he did while entertaining his fat boyfriend.

Liberals are allergic to facts.

Facts make them look bad.
