How We Got in the Mess We’re In

I’ve been sitting on my hands all week because I am a money ninny, and when the only words that matter happen to be “financial crisis,” I know enough to keep my mouth shut and my hands stowed.  I’ve read plenty, to be sure, but still could not get a good enough handle on the big picture to write about it.

Then, today, I found this video, which is the best explanation I’ve seen and gives the biggest picture I’ve seen of the whole thing.  It gives sources, clearly demonstrates how the sub-prime meltdown caused what is happening now, and how the fault lies squarely in the laps of Democrats, including Barack Obama himself.

If this man had an ounce of real integrity, honesty or true concern for real people, he would come clean.  Instead, he is behaving like nearly all shamelessly guilty people from history, whose only defense is to point fingers at the innocent and play upon people’s gullibility and trust.  This is disgraceful.  If he were my son, I would honestly believe I was a complete failure as a mother.  I am ashamed for this man, who dares to call himself a leader worthy of the Presidency.
