You haven't been paying attention. I have blamed, and continue to blame Republicans for voting for the Patriot act, the NDAA, the repeal of the STOCK act, all of the stupid Christian based crap, and all of the votes for growing the federal government way, WAY beyond the bounds of the 10th amendment, as well as voting to bring pork barrel spending to their individual states and districts, etc, etc, etc. For the last 5 years, Obama has been president, that puts him in the top hot seat.
In regards to this situation I blame all of the Republicans that voted in the 90s to force banks into making bad loans, and then allowing Fannie and feddie to buy up that bad paper with taxpayer backed funding. This action caused banks to ignore the normal risk restraints of the financial markets and operate in a way that led to the crisis. If banks are left alone to make their own risk assessments, as well as being left to face the consequences, it would not have happened. Instead we have politicians trying to make sweeping generalizations about lending practices, simply to curry favor and funding.... With disastrous results.
