It was Bill Clinton who set up the financial meltdown.
He forced banks to issue "no money down" mortgages to people who couldn't afford them.
Those "no money down" mortgages are now making a comeback, thanks to Joe Blowme.
Leftards **** up everything they touch
The myth that negroes were to blame for the 2008 meltdown was invented by a racist retard two weeks after Lehman's meltdown.
It has been thoroughly debunked.

What's more, you had to be willfully blind not to notice all those white middle class houses which foreclosed in your town.
The middle class and the wealthy can borrow more money than the poor, moron. And so they were the primary targets of mortgage brokers. And they were all offered HELOCs at the same time they were applying for a mortgage.
The idiots didn't just buy houses on borrowed money, they bought boats and motorcycles and Disney vacations.
So, yeah. I picture clueless blind people like you observing all the white middle class people in your town foreclosing and saying to yourselves, "I had no idea Biff was a negro!"
How else could you have closed the loop on your idiotic CRA meme while observing all those white people defaulting?
Because that what assholes like you do. You blame the negroes for EVERYTHING.
The CRA meme was invented by an ignorant pundit two weeks after the collapse of Lehman Brothers. And some dumbshit congressman drank that piss and asked Dick Fuld what part the CRA had to do with Lehman's collapse.
Fuld responded, "De minimus".
Because the CRA did not apply to Lehman. In fact, Lehman created their own mortgage broker feeder chain to keep their CDO machine thrumming.
