Funny how as soon as the Dems took over all hell broke loose....
The fact remains that it was Democrat policies that are directly linked to the Housing Bubble - namely the absolute refusal to reign in the out of control mortgage laundering done via Fannie and Freddie Mac.
The Housing Bubble led to the credit crisis, followed by the overall recession.
The Bush administration tried repeatedly to do something about the Fannie-Freddie issue but the Dems, mainly Dodd, Frank, and Waters, would have none of it.
The Bush administration - as well as the then-Republican controlled Congress, should have been far more forceful about it though - it was too far off of their primary agenda - but the blame lies primarily with the Democrats for creating the very environment they are now stating they must repair.
When President Obama states "it was the tired policies of the last eight years that got us into this mess" he is being dishonest. It's a common political move to blame the previous party for the current challenges, but in this case, quite dishonest even by "normal" DC political standards.

Indeed, but good luck selling that post Obama.

True enough - though that truth is spreading slowly as Americans awaken from the collective slumber induced by the vacant charms of a candidate who now faces the far more real task of delivering.
We shall see...

This is what you're doing Sinatra. Though in you're case, you're wishing for things that don't exist.
