And you should watch the John Burns interview with Rose the following night to see what he did to the Blair interview...

"The buck has to stop with the president, sooner or later. "

Sure. But the Bush administration milked the Clinton administration for years. You still do. But Obama only gets a few weeks with you...

"A ridiculous claim"

Oh? When did the Iraqis form a government? I must have missed that...

Oh, that is right. They still haven't.

"The seeds were planted under Carter with the CRA"

Bullshit. CRA loans were not the majority of the defaults. Quit making shit up. In fact, a large class of defaults now is otherwise well-off homeowners whose house is underwater. So they buy a new one and default on the old loan. The rate of default on the so-called McMansions is very high. And not a CRA loan on any of them.

Google Brooksley Born and review the Clinton regulation rewrite for CRA.

Assuming we subscribe to your overly simplistic reference, how do you absolve the bush admin, which had a good number of years, with senate and congress in hand, to fix this?
