Having said this though, the article was all about blame and my thinking is if conservatives want to go down the blame path - they will pay a price IMO.

I have to disagree. One essential step to putting all this behind us is to identify the facilitators and especially the processes that got us here. One of the worse things would be to gloss over everything because it might be too painful to look, only to have the entire scenario repeat in 20 years.

When you have people like Barney Franks that directly facilitated this mess, STILL spouting idiocy about the need to make MORE bad loans to people who don't qualify.... Well, don't you see something wrong with this picture?
