Public Comments

1. Certainly not the man-child whose economic advisers make up a who's who's list of Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and Countrywide. If you want solid proof that the Dems are responsible for this mess. Look at Clintons "National Homeownership Strategy"" and the "regulations" requiring lenders to lend in markets long considered too risky. The antics of Fannie and Freddie early this decade which Alan Greenspan warned needed to be fixed. The 12 attempts by republicans to overhaul Fannie Mae, all of which were blocked by the Dems on the banking committee. Dodd and Frank. But, finally the ultimate Proof that they are responsible. Pelosi and Reid are not asking for a congressional investigation.
2. Obama has a better onsite to lead the country.
3. I agree with ward. I believe those loan to folks who could not afford were enabled and guaranteed by private enterprise rather than guaranteed by the Federal Government.
4. Keating 5 phil grahm and john mccain sponsored deregulation, that put us into this mess. and mccain said he did not understand the economy very well. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-8806732954810834885&ei=8f_aSNDRF4T0-gGSy4yiCw&vt=lf&hl=en
