"Yea, Bush and the Republicans are just as much at fault as the Democrats. I'm sure Bush was really worried about "increase home ownership rates among minorities and low-income consumers", because that group is such a large part of the Republicans base"

It doesn't matter who is in power. We just had another artificial bubble burst. Home ownership rates created a rise in market prices which in turn created higher property tax revenues all of which doesn't even matter when considering the source of the problem was the greedy clowns running our financial institutions......
