Bill:
If someone filibustered a bill in 2005 or 2006, it would have been the Republicans. They controlled the Senate until the 2007 session -- they lost in the midterms in 2006.
But that's the moot point. Fannie and Freddie are in the dire shape they are because of incompetent/illegal accounting and the fact that they, like so many others, INVESTED in mortgage-backed securities that were built on subprime loans and became the notorious "toxic assets."
But Fannie and Freddie didn't make subprime loans -- the loans to people who couldn't afford mortgages, etc. The laws that they operated under didn't allow it.
Brian: Do you have any specific examples of all the things you say Obama is doing -- surrounding himself with communists and dividing the country by race, etc?
