You know what's stupid? Claiming that frank was the only one calling for expanded home ownership and putting that as the cornerstone of the far more complex problem we are facing today. He wasn't. But he was the guy who was the driving force behind it. And at least SOME Republicans (e.g., McCain) recognized the problem and tried to do something about it. Bush may have, as politicians are prone to doing, tried to claim "credit" for what had happened -- but he did not MAKE it happen. Frank and Dodd and others on the left did.
