More importantly that the economic crisis was allowed to bloom under the Bush admin.
They did nothing to avert it when it could have been done.
They instead called anyone who was saying there was a problem in the making a "whiner" or "doom and gloom" patisan.
You really need a civics lesson.
Who was controlling congress the last two years of the Bush Administration?
Democrats. Blame them...it's their baby.....and Obama was a part of it. Voting *present* every time doesn't exclude him from responsibility. However he did vote for TARP and he did sign the Stimulus Bill.
Bush just signs the checks. He doesn't make the laws and oversee commerce. Read the constitution for once.
When exactly did the economy tank?
Maybe you have forgotten some parts.
The economy started to tank within months after the Dems took control of congress in 07'. They tightened lending guidelines and started tweaking rules and regulations.
All it takes is a few irresponsible people in key positions and they can ruin the economy in a matter of months.
