You're absolutely right. Bush was president. And the DEMOCRATS had control of congress. AND Obama was a Senator.

I'm trying to figure which legislation the Democrats passed that would have helped prevent any of this from happening, that Bush vetoed.

Frankly, I think the problem goes beyond politics. Government only has SOME influence regarding our economic system.

My problem is that the Democrats are quick to lay the blame squarely at Bush while completely ignoring their own contributions to the problems
