Bachmann: How Did We Get Into This Mess?

Step away from CNN. The reality is this is mostly, not all but most democrat issue.9-11 was Clintons watch as well as Freddie & Fannie making bad loans on clintons watch. THe last 3 yrs of Bush's administration was Democrat house and senate. Look where we are now...great job. How is our "Messiah" going to help us...oh wait the answer is European style socialism.....Dude crack a book, do some research that doesnt include CNN, MSN, NBC, MSNBC and etc....DUMBASS!!!

Uh, bupkiss, 9-11-2001 was on Bush's watch. So was the lack of regulation which led to the current economic mess. 3 years? Why are you GOPers always so ignorant of history & weak at math. Bush & the Republicans controlled the entire government from 2001 to 2007. They were asleep at the switch on 9-11 & they were asleep at the switch as their Wall Street bankster buddies nearly destroyed the US economy.

The plaintive wail of the whiney Republican titty baby: "It's all Bill Clinton's fault"

" mostly Democratic roadblocks that stopped us from fixing the problems before it got out of control."

Which roadblocks are you referring to?

Go back and read the history of Barny Frank and Christopher Dodd and how they went about stopping the regulation of Fannie Mae and Freddy Mac. They stopped it. The Democrats in the 1990's put forth a policy of pushing mortgages onto people who simply could NOT afford it. Many people were buying houses with NO DP. They were banking on the housing prices going higher and always being able to sell to keep themselves out of trouble. Bubbles always burst and this one took the economy with it.
