I agree that it's unfair to blame Bush alone. There were plenty who were more culpable than he was. However, he was the president, and the fact that he recognized the problem doesn't excuse his giving up on sounding the alarm when he ran into obstacles.

He caved in way too quickly. He should have continued to pound the drum relentlessly, putting the issue in front of the American people as only the president can from his bully pulpit. He caved in on the issue of social security too. He had the right message, and in my view, the right solution. But when he ran into tough opposition, he shrugged and gave up.

Does that make him to blame? Not at all. Those who blocked his efforts and poo-pooed his warnings are much more to blame. But he shouldn't have given up so easily. That's not his role as leader.

Obama talks about being willing to do things that are unpopular. I don't agree with what he wants to do in most cases, so I'm glad he pusses out on his issues too. But he also lacks leadership, to an even greater degree.

A leader needs to do what is right and persuade people to follow, not wet a finger to see which way the wind is blowing, or what is most likely to get him/her and his/her party votes in the next election.

Great comments and right on target. I personally appreciate and respect Bush for his actions in response to 9/11 and with regard to foreign policy issues. However, Bush was not strong on domestic issues and whimped out repeatedly when confronted by strong opposition from RINOs and democrats. Bush believed too strongly in compromise and wanted too much to be liked. That is one of the things I most admired Dick Cheney for -- he didn't seem to care, and still doesn't, that a lot of people hated his guts. We need another president who will do what is right and what is constitutional, no mater what.

Did not mean to state or imply that Cheney was president, but reading what I wrote, I can see that someone might try to intentionally misunderstand what I meant, hence this clarification.

You are correct! There was just too much money changing hands and payoffs for the peoole in power to want to do anything. Greed! I saw the problem building 15+ years ago - 2% down payment, 0 down payment, borrow 125% of the value of your home and similar. Every sector of the U.S. economy was going wild during the 90's and everybody wanted MORE. You can't put but so much water in a bucket or so much air in a balloon. Personally, it has benefited me. I will never sell or move again, so the lower property taxes benefit me, but I do feel for the millions who have lost everything.Some will, some will never recover.

My home has lost 60 percent of its peak value since 2007. Unfortunately for me, I refinanced and began a construction project in April 2007 to put an addition on my house. It seemed like a good idea at the time, I love the addition, it is the room in my home that I use more than any other. Unfortunately, the decline in value began just about one month before I refinanced.

Don't know if you have been following the recent developments in home foreclosures, but it appears there is going to be another bigger wave of foreclosures because the government programs under this administration have only delayed them. It is so very sad to see so many people without jobs and then having to loose their major investment, many will never recover in their lifetime.

My son who is an attorney who does a lot of real estate law has been telling for nearly two years that this summer was going to be the second, and worse crash, first of the real estate market, then the banks.

It's my belief that Bush agreed to TARP out of respect for the office. Knowing he was done in a month or so, he allowed obamanation to implement his policy a tad ahead of schedule. Bush is a man of character as witnessed by that and his refusal to-date to speak ill of the current administration. Not something I agree with but I do admire his convictions. Bill in Va.

Bill -- I admire and respect President Bush, "W," a great deal. I too believe he is a man of character. Unfortunately, I also believe that in the later half of his second term, he became so frustrated by the constant attacks from the left that he did things he may otherwise not have done in the hope that these actions would "soften" the view that history would eventually have of him and his administration.
