Nice try. Blame the Congress that has been in power less than 2 years for the problems that were started under Clinton's Republican controlled Senate and expanded by Bush.
He simply suggested you do your own research. From your statements, you clearly have no idea what the problems involved with Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac are, when they started, or who is responsible for them. It is worth looking into. Spooky even, given that the folks currently in charge of the Congressional offices responsible for their oversight are the very people who forced through the regulations that brought us to where we are today. Did you know, for example, that the top three recipients of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae campaign contributions are (in order):
1. Chris Dodd
2. Barack Obama
3. John Kerry
Not bad for a "1st Term Senator".
