Oh quit with the BS partisan politics..........Anyone who allows something to continue is just as guilty as its innovator........Do you want to blame Clinton for its creation? Or Bush for triggering the meltdown with his bad economic policies?............

"pressure from stock holders"

"banks, thrift institutions and mortgage companies have been
pressing Fannie Mae "

"In moving, even tentatively, into this new area of lending, Fannie Mae is
taking on significantly more risk, which may not pose any difficulties
during flush economic times.".......which was the case during the Clinton years of a good economy and balanced budget........

Bush has had 8 years to oversee, change, or eliminate........let's just take an excerpt from Palin and just not get fooled again........
