So, here's a hypothetical:
I put an infant in front of a very slowly moving steamroller. Bad idea, I admit, but we all make some dumb decisions.
The guy driving the steamroller is going slow. Very slow. But he has work to do and his pay will get docked if he stops. So he ignored the infant for 8 hours as he drove slowly towards it, despite hundreds and thousands of people trying to warn him about what he was driving towards.
When the baby gets run over, whose fault is it? Mine? Or the dumbass driving the steamroller?
Bush had two terms under which he was constantly warned about the dangers of the housing bubble. But the economy was looking good from the outside, considering it was all built on credit, so he ignored the warnings. Over. And over.
Yeah, the legislation Clinton signed was dumb. Yeah, Greenspan fucked up too. But George Bush is the one who really screwed the pooch on this one.
