Barney Frank and Chris Dodd are responsible for the mortgage meltdown by forcing banks to lend to folks who had no prayer of paying their mortgages--their idea of "affordable housing."
Obama was the 2nd highest recipient all time of Fannie Mae political contributions though he was in the Senate only a couple of years. His buddy Franklin Raines ran Fannie Mae into the ground while pocketing $90 million for himself.
The unions are draining the blood out of Detroit with $2600 per vehicle produced going to retired workers who never touched the vehicle.
Yeah, give us more unions and more Democrats in Washington. They'll fix everything.
