I'm not an Obama fan but I still like to hear facts instead of opinions.

Someone said, "Not all liars are fishermen but all fishermen are liars." Since this is posted on the Off Topic Board, I suppose we could say, "Not all liars are politicians but all politicians are liars."
I'm aware of the makeup of congress and that both parties passed the bailout bill, but I disagree the bill's the cause of the crisis. It was a larcenous attempt to treat the symptoms. (They stole 700 billion dollars of our money)

I was referring to the the failure of Fannie mae and Freddie mac, the root cause of the current financial crisis. Their failure is not an opinion, it's a fact. It's also a widely documented fact that Dodd and Obama took more political contributions from them than any other politicians.

The Democrat party trading mortgages for votes and attacking anyone who tried to stop them is what really got us here. That however is only my opinion.
