What president and his AG made those rules even tougher??
    Do the homework before you start in.

    Well they didn't do enough... see how the Canadian banks faired... why, better regulations.

    TP,
    Exactly what do you mean by this
    "Well they didn't do enough...see how the Canadian banks faired...why, better regulations."
    You still don't get it do you. These problems started in the 1980's with a democrat, were pushed further to the brink of disaster by another democrat and now with the democrats in power for the past two years the problem has totally blown up in their faces. But since there was a republican president sitting in the oval office he will get the blame. Why? Because the media is in the pockets of the DNC and no one wants to make them or the anointed one mad.

    Wow... started in the 80's did it. Well Bush had 8 years to fix whatever he thought was wrong. He failed, or looked the other way. American's elected George Bush for two terms and this is HIS mess. Voters know you blew it, they gave you the chance to put your money where your mouth is and you screwed the pooch. Hence, we now have Democratic President, Congress and Senate.

    What's the alternative? More Republican/Conservative leadership that didn't protect the public from the worst financial crisis in half a century; or a change to something different?

    It's time to stop whining, you had your chance.

    And at this rate we'll get our chance again very soon. Meanwhile, I'll whine if I want to, I didn't vote for the guy ;)

    And again your point is? The dems had 20 years to screw it up. And unless congress is willing (yea in a pigs ear on that) nothing can get changed. I blame both sides, you on the other hand choose to blame only one man. How come?
