"it's a fact that in 2001 Bush tried to introduce legislation to impose stiffer
regulations on Fannie and Freddie. "

- so we can add fannie and freddie to his list of failed objectives along with bin laden...it is a fact that george bush introduced legislation to make it easier for banks (including fannie and freddie) to issue mortgages to low income people with impaired credit...it is a fact that george bush pressured fannie and freddie to issue half a trillion dollars of mortgages to low income families...it is a fact that george bush pressured private banks to issue more mortgages to low income families...bush has personally pimped risky mortgage lending practices since his first state of the union speech right up until 2006 (at least)

"the Democrats have spent the last 8 years dedicated to making Bush look
bad"

- i think george bush deserves most of the blame for his administration's record...the democrats didn't force bush to submit budgets with 50% more federal spending...the democrats didn't force george bush to double the national debt...the democrats didn't force george bush to invade iraq based on a pack of lies...george bush has led the country from one disaster to another, undermining national security and creating fiscal imbalances of mindboggling proportions...sadly, the democrats did more to enable bush than undermine him...they deserve blame for bush's failures too - they let america down
