In the face of undeniable, on-the-record contributions by Democrats--from Carter to Clinton to Frank, Dodd and, yes, Obama (as Senator voted to deny tighter Fanny/Freddie oversight)--to the housing/credit crisis by literally forcing the use of sub-prime loans to expand home ownership to people unqualified to take loans... We have this tripe from Obama, this historical revisionism, this pot-calling-the-kettle-black-ism of blame-shifting and finger-pointing:
"Obama Pitches Jobs Program, Points Finger at GOP for Economic Mess" via FOXNews.com
President Obama used his speech rolling out a stimulus-style jobs program Tuesday to point the finger at Republicans for allegedly facilitating the economic crisis and then foisting it off on his administration to solve.
While praising his own team for pioneering "ambitious" financial reform and "sweeping" economic recovery initiatives, the president took some pointed shots at Republicans who are now blasting the latest package as a spend-crazy "stimulus two" that will drill deeper into the deficit.
"We were forced to take those steps (to jump-start the economy) largely without the help of an opposition party which, unfortunately, after having presided over the decision-making that had led to the crisis, decided to hand it over to others to solve," Obama said, starting his address with a history lesson on the roots of the recession.
