How uninformed can people continue to claim to be when this has been said over and over and over?
GregE...please get educated on what happened in 2007/2008 and why it happened.
CONGRESS for the last couple of decades were the ones who passed bills that caused the housing crash. Not Clinton, not Bush, and not Obama.
An informed citizenry is what is sorely lacking in our country.

Robbie, dude, you are a smart guy and much respect to you, but George Bush did fuck up the country. He should have:
1. Stayed the course and paid down the debt instead of restructuring the tax code to benefit the wealthy.
2. Not fomented a 2 trillion war with Iraq based on false information.
3. Not authorized and advocated for the use of torture.
4. Not created a shadow justice system.
5. Not enacted policies that posit that the electorate "does not know what is good for it"
I don't care if he believed he was doing good. Ignorance, however plentiful it may be, is not an excuse. Everything he did is now being used by the Dems, including Guantanamo, drones, wiretapping, etc.
