Hate to say it, but I CAN name it.
Bush fully signed on to the "minority home ownership" BS, and encouraged the sub-prime lending that is the basis for this entire problem.
He's just as guilty as Clinton. Further, the GOP had Congress for 12 of the last 14 years, so they're also just as guilty.

Here is Obama's health policies
People need an education about the ramifications of much of Obama's agenda. His health care plan is the conception of soacialism in American society. These blind followers in unions do not relaize that his proposal passively diminishes their collective bargaining. As BO said everyone that "doesn't like their plan can join the same plan that Senator McCain and I enjoy".
Problems:
1. We taxpayers foot the bill for that one.
2. Health insurance is a free enterprize, the US has 2 national plans Medicare and the Veteran's Administration.
3. His proposal will devastate health insurance companies.
4. As proposed, employers will be encouraged to offer substandard health plans so tha employees will opt for the government plan. This is simple business economics.
5. This reduces the labor unions bargaining clout for health benefits, which is always a point of negotiation.
6. The plan infringes on state's rights, since each state legislates their insurance.
7. Health care insurors are both nonprofit and proprietary. Propietery plans are public entities with stockholders their loss will once again effect the economy. Nonprofits are the generators of health insurance.
8. The financial debacle will impact will the economy and employment.
9. It creates a further disparity in healthcare for Medicare and Medicaid recipients.
10. This plan will create astronomical financial and tax burdens for his precious middle class (us).
I wish we could get a grass roots campaign to get this message out! This reality might change minds!

I will check that up. Though when you say guilty as Clinton, the housing bubble started the exact year Clinton signed that CRA bill. So I can not possibly say that he is. I will check that up. Thanks

True. Many of Obamas policies will create similar problems. That healthcare plan will be worse than what SS and the current medicare program. Currently those two take up 1.3 trillion of the budget. A new healthcare plan like Obama's will bankrupt this country.

An FYI
BO did not think up electronic medical records (EMR) for medical history. It was signed into legislation in 2001 as the Medication Error Reduction Act (MERA) in 2001 by a republican congress.
