HOW TRULY BLIND must a person be to think:
A). The 2008 recession mainly caused by the banking takeover engineered by the democrats, forcing them to give loans to anything with two legs was both averted and caused by the GOP.
B). That Obamacare, collapsing around the country as premiums skyrocket, that was supposed to save everyone money and even the Dems scramble now to try to save, is "LOOKING GOOD."
1st Place For Cornhole Boneheaded Statement of the Year.
Lmao. Yeah Bush being president at the time bears no fault or responsibility for the major recession that happened on his watch.
You idiots crack me up.
He asked congress to do something about it 17 times and dems obstructed it.
Obstructed what? Republicans controlled the House and the Senate. The House required only a simple majority to pass a bill Bush was asking for and the Senate could only be blocked by Democrats with a filibuster but the Republicans never sent a bill to the Senate floor for Democrats to filibuster.
Do you ever know what you're talking about?
Ever??
None of the bills made it out of the committee to be voted on.
Dems BLOCKED Them
Do you ever know what you're talking about?
Ever??
Democrats didn't block these bills ... they didn't have to -- Republicans wouldn't let them get voted on by a full chamber.
S.1508 was reported out of committee. Republican leadership never sent the bill to the Senate floor for an up/down vote.
S.190 was reported out of committee. Republican leadership never sent the bill to the Senate floor for an up/down vote.
H.R.2575 was not supported by the Bush administration and never made it out of committee.
H.R.1461 was reported out of committee and passed in the House. It was such a horrible bill, even Bush ripped it up; and again, Republican leadership wouldn't send the bill to the Senate floor for a full up/down vote.
The Administration has long called for legislation to create a stronger, more effective regulatory regime to improve oversight of Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and the Federal Home Loan Banks ("housing government-sponsored enterprises" or "housing GSEs") and appreciates the considerable efforts of Chairman Oxley and Chairman Baker in crafting H.R. 1461. However,
H.R. 1461 fails to include key elements that are essential to protect the safety and soundness of the housing finance system and the broader financial system at large. As a result, the Administration opposes the bill.
