Carl Rove, Bush, Cheney, et all brought us this financial destruction Not really. Which isn't to say they didn't play a role at all, but its unreasonable to say its primarily or mostly their fault. Bush sure didn't balk at the first bailout plan by Paulson did he? No he didn't. I wish he did. Definitely scary times. But please lets quit blaming, Carter, Clinton, and Obama, and skipping Reagan, Bush, Bush, What did Reagan or Bush I do that was a source of the problem? Actually I'd like you to tell me what you think Bush II did as well. I would say his administration did contribute to the problem, but I'd like to see why you think he did. I think I'm likely to disagree with the reason you give, but who knows we might agree. Clinton repealed Glass Steagal and helped usher in this time of financial irresponsibility I don't think that fact is very relevant. My point about Clinton is 1 - He pushed a more expansive vision of the CRA, and 2 - He increased the ability of people to not pay taxes on capital gains from owner occupied housing.
