President Bush is trying to purchase a new home in Texas for 2 million, the only problem is he is unable to get financing for the mortgage!

You can't always be smooth but your beer should be,

GOOD, now he knows how the rest of us feel!!

You're implying he had anything to do with the credit market?

I can't seem to find the presidential order he signed that says "make the credit market crash".

On the other hand it's easy to find the edict from the democrats that says "make banks lend to people who can't pay them back".

....umm ok

Had Bush made the regulators do there job,the market wouldn't be in this mess. Oh,I forgot they relax the regulations on the the Banking system.

Regulators do Their Job.

"shrug" that's not his job.

If you'll recall he warned of this sort of thing during his first term.

Not to mention it was the dems in congress who blocked the changes that would have averted the issue.

It should be clear to anyone with an honest mindset.

Just look at the grilling congress is giving the auto execs. Hell we have investigations every time the price of gas goes up 50cents. But there will be no investigation into the credit markets. At least no public investigation with any meaningful conclussions. Why?
Because such investigation would only incriminate the democrats, the party that has been in power for the last four years. The party who decides what investigations will take place, and the party who has succeeded in convincing you that everything is the presidents fault.

Congress is responsible for these things, not the president.

When did anyone say it was the fault of someone?

I've never seen the term "you reap what you sew" be applied more literally. HA! Now he sees the mess he made first hand :D

When I was a supervisor over section leaders, and was responsible for whatever issues were bigger in effect than individual section leaders had the authority to handle, I answered to everyone.

"It happened on my watch."

That is how History will record this time, for Bush, and for individuals in his cabinet.
