    Reference to Alan Caruba's article claiming "the Democrats did it," he refers to a 1999 decision by Fannie Mae to "ease credit to aid mortgage lending."

    1999 was nearly ten years ago. Bush has been in power for nearly 8 of those 10 years -- with Republicans controlling Congress for…

    adaydream: I interpreted GSE to mean "government-sponsored enterprise," of which Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were two.

    GSEs started in 1916 and have enjoyed bipartisan support ever since.

    Blaming a president without considering the wider environment they stood in at that time is like blaming the captain of the Titanic for the outcome of the final voyage.

    Well, it's clear you've never served aboard a ship.

    The truth is nothing they could do could change the fact…

    Newsflash! The Democrats have more to do with this than the Republicans.

    Newsflash! Sarge does not know what he is talking about.

    All this happened during seven years of Bush's watch, working through most of it with a Republican-controlled Congress. As John McCain would readily agree, there was no…

    Has it occurred to you that not until 2007 were Dems even thinking about the middle class?

    At what point in history had Democrats stopped "thinking about" the middle class?

    Wager up, there were a lot more dems behind much of this that you are probably willing to…

    Safe bet. They definitely can't poll any lower than they are.

    Funny. Remove more Republicans from Congress and the White House and watch those numbers rise. Republicans are really only good for ballast.

    Nancy Pelosi vowed that the Democrats would clean things up when once they took power in Jan 2007.

    Her job will be much easier when President Barack Obama returns competent leadership to the White House.

    SushiSake: Regarding the ease of getting mortgages, Sarge doesn't know what he's talking about. Extremely low interest rates, in combination with new, unregulated mortgage-backed securities, promoted by George W. Bush's "ownership society" are what fueled the worst economic crisis in nearly a century.

    We have to take it that this…

    There is a good argument that his two memoirs were ghostwritten.

    On such fantasies lie the empty shells of many a failed campaign.

    Glad to see a repudiation of Republican economics from a Republican. That's right John, just step aside and let the Democrats fix things like they did when they helped create a broad, prosperous middle class.
