I agreed in couple of messages that Bush benefited so it's disheartening to see you claim otherwise repeatedly. Do you find that misrepresenting what other people say is helpful in reaching agreement?

Lots of people benefited, but that doesn't make them as culpable as folks who pushed and defended the GSE's misconduct.

Plus, Bush did make some attempt to try to rein in the GSEs. Yes, he could have done more, but again, that distinguishes him from folks who opposed those efforts.

Surely you're not arguing that "Bush was a disaster on the war" implies "everything bad that happened is completely Bush's fault"?
