Former vice president Dick Cheney was on CNNs State of the Union today, and he absolved himself, the Bush administration, and the Republican Party of any blame for the economic crisis. Instead, he blamed Barney Frank, and Chris Dodd, but press releases from the Bush administration say otherwise. In their own words, here is why Cheney and Bush should be blamed for the economy.
Host John King asked Cheney if the Bush administration left Obama with an economic mess. Cheney answered, Well, I dont follow the news quite as closely as I once did.

I dont think you can blame the Bush administration for the creation of those circumstances. Its a global financial problem. We had, in fact, tried to deal with the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac problem some years before with major reforms and were blocked by Democrats on the Hill, Barney Frank and Chris Dodd.
