Amos: I think you are getting on a rather slippery slope if you are arguing that the Obama administration is transparent. Since Obama has been president he has succeeded in TRIPLING the national debt. Bush was not as conservative, economically, as I wished him to be, but when compared to Obama in his first six months as president he has made Bush look like a piker.

If you are criticizing Republicans for the mortgage crisis, you're barking up the wrong tree. Who has controlled the Congress since 2006? Who passes bills? Who appropriates money? Why don't you give Barney Frank or Chris Dodd a call and ask them what roll they played in the mortgage crisis. About the only thing Democrats have done in recent days is look for ways to blame GWB or the Republicans for all the ills of America.
