Why is it Liberals have such short memories?

In the current economic state it seems a bit disingenuous for all the Democrats to be pointing fingers at GW and blaming him for what is going on. Wasn't the concept of using Fannie and Freddie to give low-income (not qualified) people mortgages? Barney Frank isn't he a Democrat? Wasn't Clinton a pioneer in signing legislation that helped all of this happen?

It seems the Dems forget in 2003 President Bush tried to get congress to pass legislation to reel in Freddie and Fannie. Why is it all the democrats forget that they blocked this legislation? Oh, let's not leave out the many Republicans that also blocked this legislation.

The current situation is why we should have term limits in congress. These idiots would not be so worried about doing the right thing if they knew their time was short. How about 10 years and you are gone for representatives and 2 terms for Senators. Why do we need career politicians that are there to enrich their own bank accounts. How is it even possible that someone can be in charge of a Federal agency and make close to $100 million dollars for themselves?

Why is their no outrage in the streets over these politicians increasing their own net worth some much while in office? They go there with nothing and leave with their bank accounts swelling, net worth's soar.

The saying I didn't become a politician to get rich is a joke. They do it for the money and the power, screw the people.
