Brit Hume’s program had a good summary of how we got into this mess and the voices who tried to avoid it.  President Bush, John McCain, Secretary Snow, Greenspan all tried to get Fannie and Freddie under control and warmed that failing to do so could lead to a broad economic crisis.  Sound familiar?

But the democrats, Barney Frank, Chris Dodd and Chuck Schumer didn’t want to hear any of it.  They were too busy playing politics and turning a blind eye to real concerns.

And what has Barack Obama ever done to fix this mess before it broke?  Nothing.
