Columnist: Democrats caused current financial crisis

Only in America. Sher Zieve, writing at NewMediaJournal.us, finds it ironic that the very same people who caused the economic collapse on Wall Street, the Democrats in Congress who were supposed to provide oversight in the past two years, are now working on a plan to solve the problem.

From her column:

The current financial crisis facing the United States of America and the world began with the US home ownership debacle and President William Jefferson Clinton.

Democrats Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY), Rep. Barney Frank (D-MA) also the Chairman of the House Financial Services Committee — of all things — and Democrat presidential Candidate Barack Obama (who is reported to be the 3rd largest recipient of Fannie Mae political contributions — said to be over $100K in less than 4 years) have also benefited greatly from these Democrats' personal slush funds. However, in the worst cut to We the People from the knife of corruption, the very people who created this problem will now be in charge of "correcting" it! Does this make any sense to anyone except those who have received and continue to receive funds from these institutions?
