Last time I checked, politicians don't get a "pass" because things were worse than they expected. Bush certainly didn't.
Well if you're honest which nobody in the political debate arena is, then Bush will share the blame for a long, long time. Clinton deserves the blame for much of this. Why? He adopted if I recall correctly the subprime mortgage lending legislation which stimulated lenders to lend to those whom they wouldn't ordinarily make loans to. Bush deserves the blame for continuing this, and Obama's policies which promote such wackiness also deserve reproach.
