This explains a lot of Bush’s recent behavior. He has been essentially AWOL in this debate. Paulson was his emmisary to try to get the quick fix so that expose’s like this would never see the light of day. In all matters, other than the ‘war on terror’ Bush, the compasionate conservative, is a moderate-liberal democrat....Kennedy writing the education bill, Immigration position, spending, expanding Medicare to cover prescription drugs, and now, we see, the mother-ot-all spending——the credit crisis with all of its machinations. Can a conservative, a real conservative, be elected? It seems not. And, no, kerry would have been no better, but would he have been worse?????????????Probably...we will never know.
Bush is a naif and was played like a fiddle by the compassion pimps. His domestic record is extremely liberal and the guy never vetos anything. His only conservative credential to speak of are the tax cuts and Alito/Roberts nominations.
The facts must come out. When the case is laid out in a solid, coherent way the public will realize that Obama was a main actor in this mess tugging hard (through lawsuits, acorn, Fannie lobbying) on Ma Bush to show his concern—at our expense.
Nevertheless, Bush may have been a sap but he still wanted accountablility and oversight—something the dems resisted violently (comparing Fannie Mae investigators to lynchers). The scandal demolishes the credibility of Obama, the mainstream press and the democratic Fannie gang and exposes Bush for what he is—a soft-headed compassion sap who strived forever to gain the love of liberals.
