Simple yes as all you do is throw some Names around... Bush yes he is to blame. He spent way to much , He did not deal with immigration etc etc... but what about Clinton and his changes to Glass-Steagall? Or what Barney Frank and Chris Dodd did when it comes to Fannie and Freddie? And the economy did not really tank till 2006 when Congress changed hands why is that? I guess it is just easier (simple) to blame Bush for everything...
