I hate to (at least partially) agree with Teribus, but the whole financial crisis was a result of irresponsible lending by financial institutions on both side of the Atlantic. I think though it goes back further than Clinton. Neither GWB nor Obama should have been given the money to bail out the banks, and though I think Vince Cable is right on brexit, he was an early advocate of bailing out banks in the UK which should never have happened. The banks should have been allowed to go bust, and depositors compensated up to the FSA limit.
