Not only was it 0 down but they were loaning up to 120% of the value of the property. I don't care for Bush but my recolection was that he warned of this 4 years before it happened. You say broadcasters show bush pushing the loans. Can you name the broadcasters or a quote. I'm not trying to bust your balls, I just want to seperate facts from here say.I have seen many interviews and speeches given by Barney Frank, He has hung himself on this one. The media doesn't seem to remember though.
