"Barney Frank and Chris Dodd are responsible for this mess. And you and the dumbassed liberals claiming otherwise won't change the facts." The facts are that these guys were nicely paid by the industry they were in charge of regulating, paid to insure that that Republicans -- like McCain --who believed these lending practices were out of control, would not be able to step in. This is the root cause of the failure. Democrats caused it and Republicans tried to stop it on multiple occasions. And can you possibly explain why Barack Obama, a junior Senator, was the second highest paid by the failed institutions? Why were these businesses so interested in giving money to Obama? What were they buying?
