Bush, Obama, the Financial Rescue, and Housing Prices

Ya, that sums it up pretty well.  Of course, maybe not all the blame should go to Bush regarding management of the financial crisis.  He was pretty much checked out at that point and Hank Paulson screwed the pooch on that one.
Hopefully Obama will do something with the rest of the bailout money to actually [...]

Political Odds and Ends

The video is after the jump, so that the since I can’t get I’m too lazy to fix the autoplay right now.
