You and Brad really need to take something for that condition you have--BDS--Bush Derangement Syndrone. I think it's interesting that you care more about prosecuting Bush--who is NOT the enemy--then the very ones who have professed to want to wipe us off the face of the earth.
I also find it funny--(and not in a haha way)--that you are more interested in prosecuting Bush for keeping you safe, than the people who caused/contributed to the financial fiasco--Dodd, Frank, most of the democrats--and let's not forget THE ONE--that turned their backs on Bush and McCain when they tried to point out that Fanny Mae was headed for trouble. <b>So before I get into the your BDS--lets's throw a few stones at YOUR glass house...</b>

<b>I</b> think that not only the CEO'S, but those responsible for this whole mess should be impeached, kicked off their cushy chairmanships of the committee's they are on, and run out of COngress tarred and feathered. The very people that were in charge of making sure this didn't/SHOULDN'T HAVE happen--are the very ones who are in charge of the distribution of the TARP funds!!!! Talk about the Foxes guarding the henhouse!!!
"<i>Even ex-President Clinton admitted that the Democrats were guilty of destroying Fannie and Freddie... and responsible for the current crisis that threatens to bring the entire U.S. economy to the brink of recession: I think that the responsibility that the Democrats have may rest more in resisting any efforts by the Republicans and the Congress or by me when I was President to put some standards and tighten up a little on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac"</i>
<i>"This entire scandal has the Democrats' fingerprints all over it.

McCain, the guy who warned everyone in 2005 that we needed reform or precisely this would happen."</i>
<b>You guys want to talk about "cronies"--</b>how about Frank Raines, and ACORN? How about former Clinton Budget Director and FNMA CEO Franklin Raines, who made $90 million?
