Awesome video on how republicans will deny reality, when it goes against there preconceived views!! Also, on how republicans seem to not realize republicans were in charge for the last 8 years!!!

So its ok to have such ties, and run for president. Who do you think will be in his cabinet? Who do you think hes being advised by? This doesnt bother you at all?

How did the right defend against it two years ago when they were in power and most of the contributions went to them?

Funny how these two comedians were aware of this crisis in 2007

Neither side can blame the other, and the video you posted is pure partisan politics.

The act of 1995 that Clinton signed, could not have been signed by him in 1995 if the solidly republican controlled congress of that time, with Newt Gingrich in charge of, had not sent it to him.

Also, prior to 2006, Bush had the benefit of that republican controlled congress, mccain was also there at that time. It was republican controlled.

Get that through your head for once.

This whole mess is the fault of every democrat and republican since carter's time.

And lets not forget that McCain has his own banking skeletons in his Keating Closet.

At this point, with how bad it has become, it's important to realize that all politicos are guilty of letting this get out of hand, along with the obsessive greed of wall street.

Probably because the warning came in 2005...

Then in 2005 John McCain co-sponsored the Federal Housing Enterprise Regulatory Reform Act of 2005..
The Bill was never passed. John McCain addressed the floor on May 26th, 2006. Here is an excerpt:

I join as a cosponsor of the Federal Housing Enterprise Regulatory Reform Act of 2005, S. 190, to underscore my support for quick passage of GSE regulatory reform legislation. If Congress does not act, American taxpayers will continue to be exposed to the enormous risk that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac pose to the housing market, the overall financial system, and the economy as a whole.

I urge my colleagues to support swift action on this GSE reform legislation.

This bill was shot down by the Democrats and some Republicans in Congress.

McCain did?

From what I've read, technically, this Rick character was hired to transition the McCain team into the White House.

Default Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act

Whomever designed and sponsored this bill, agreed with it, allowed it, promoted it, pushed it and signed off on it should be made public for all of America to see who they are. I'd like to see them stripped of all financial power and wealth, and sent far away without a passport. At least remember they don't represent us, and should never have a public office again.
