You mean, CND FOX, if we didn’t have a government that forced lending institutions to provide mortgages to people who didn’t qualify, we wouldn’t have had the economic mess

1) Bush homeownership plan aims at 5.5 million lift for minorities (2003)

President Bush announced an Administration effort to increase home ownership rates among African Americans and Hispanics by 5.5 million by 2010.

The plan would provide down payment assistance to 40,000 minority homebuyers each year . . .
Bush’s plan would be closely tied to minority loan programs offered by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. President Bush commended Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac’s efforts . . .

2) 2004: Under President Bush, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development announces that it will require Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, also known as the Government-Sponsored Enterprises (GSEs) “to increase their purchase of mortgages for low- and moderate-income families and underserved communities.” In order to meet these new requirements, the GSEs begin purchasing mortgage-backed securities made up of subprime loans.

All the Democrats fault apparently – majority Republican congress and Republican presidency.

Easy to see that Pres. Obama hates rich people/rich companies. IMHO, we should do away with inaugurals for a second term. We have so many problems and lazy, corrupt politicians that we should not celebrate; who said we don’t have “kings”?

You mean, CND FOX, if we didn’t have a government that forced lending institutions to provide mortgages to people who didn’t qualify, we wouldn’t have had the economic mess that started decades ago. Canada did not have a banking crisis, but then again, their government didn’t require lending to unqualifed borrowers. Nice try on re-writing history.

THEEIGHTIESRULED1….whatever more are you running off the head about? “…reckless regulations and 3 decades of legislation regarding home ownership…”? What right wing crap website did you get that garbage from? LOL you obviously don’t even see how contradicting your statement is. Because if we HAD HAD proper regulations in the housing market…we would never have had the mess we did. And the “media” took Bush down? LOL..LOL…the clown did it through his own stupidity!Or whoever MADE the decisions for him.

Speaking of incompetence (Bush’s) and ignorance (yours) . …

1) Bush homeownership plan aims at 5.5 million lift for minorities (2003)

President Bush announced an Administration effort to increase home ownership rates among African Americans and Hispanics by 5.5 million by 2010.

So you think Bush and the Republicans were fixing the problem? Majority Republican congress and Republican presidency.

The last time the Republicans obstructed on raising the debt ceiling, they took the country to days from defaulting on its loans. This cost the country it’s credit rating and damaged the stock market.

Damaging the country’s credit rating and the stock market is not progress.

The debt ceiling was raised on seven occasions during President George W. Bush’s two terms in office, from $5.95 trillion in 2001 to nearly double that, $11.315 trillion, in 2009 – an increase of $5.365 trillion or 90 percent.

BOSTON — The Republican Party seems as divided and angry as ever. Infighting has penetrated the highest levels of the House GOP leadership.

Nonsense. Their income tax was raised. Their capital gains tax was raised.
