RE :”Considering that Republicans had the House from 2005 to 2006 the excuse that Barney Frank blocked anything is ridiculous.
......
Chris Dodd and the ‘Rats blocked the Financial Reform Act of 2005 in the Senate. “ mIt died by filibuster. “

I see it passed the House in Oct 2005.
I remember Fall 2005 and by then house prices had increased by close to 50% a year aveagwe for a few years after Bush's big speech taking credit for giving all those minorities with bad credit home loans. It was a bit late to undue that damage by then.

But what is missing is the big Bush speech calling for the undoing of what he called for in in 2002 speech. That would have given Bush apologists an argument at least.

The House price run up helped him in the 2004 election. The bust was coming.

Bush advocated repeatedly for the reform of Fannie Mae

Folks like you giving dems control in 2007 caused the complete deregulation of housing under franks leadership.

You all taught us a lesson in being conservative.

Reagan can do amnesty happily and be a hero. Bush discusses the topic and was dismissed.

You are not sick of libs. You’re pretty content to defend them as long as you can bash bush.
