Obama: Subprime Mortgages Are Bush’s Fault
Because Bush failed to stop people from taking out loans they couldn’t afford.
Obama’s refusal to hold the people who took out these crappy loans responsible for getting themselves into trouble is appalling, but what’s worse is that it’s apparently something he agrees with Republican frontrunner John McCain about.
What happened to personal responsibility? And what did Obama expect President Bush to do? Prevent “predatory” lenders from giving loans to lower income people? What do you think the liberal reaction to that would have been?
Have we really entered an era of politics where there are no politicians willing to tell citizens that they, and not some greedy government or corporate conspiracy, are responsible for the consequences of their bad choices?
