I would add to that the deregulation the bush boy did that allowed Fannie Mae to buy sub prime loans.
It was illegal for Fannie Mae to buy sub prime loans before the bush boy.
Those sub prime loans were bundled with a few good ones and ll were marked prime even though it was known that was a lie. The rational was the good loans would cancel out the bad ones. We all know how that worked out.
Before deregulation, sub prime loans were considered predatory lending and illegal in a lot of states.

UPDATED: Obama Sued Citibank Under CRA to Force it to Make Bad Loans
Posted on 03 October 2008
Do you remember how we told you that the Democrats and groups associated with them leaned on banks and even sued to get them to make bad loans under the Community Reinvestment Act which was a factor in causing the economic crisis (see HERE ) … well look at what some fellow bloggers have dug up while researching Obama’s legal career. Looks like a typical ACORN lawsuit to get banks to hand out bad loans.
In these lawsuits, ACORN makes a bogus claim of Redlining (denying poor people loans because of their ethnic heritage). They protest and get the local media to raise a big stink. This stink means that the bank faces thousands of people closing their accounts and get local politicians to lobby to stop the bank from doing some future business, expansions and mergers. If the bank goes to court, they will win, but the damage is already done because who is going to launch a big campaign to get the bank’s reputation back?
It is important to understand the nature of these lawsuits and what their purpose is. ACORN filed tons of these lawsuits and ALL of them allege racism.

UPDATED: Obama Sued Citibank Under CRA to Force it to Make Bad Loans - Media Circus | Media Circus
Regarding the Democrats actions on Capitol Hill.
Here the Democrats are railing that there is nothing wrong with Fannie and Freddie and to simply leave them alone.
Your posted a fake news article that said President Obama sued Citibank in October 2008. Obama wasn’t elected President until November 2008.

In 2005 Oxley tried again and this time got a reform bill through the House. Democrats unanimously supported HR 1461 in the Financial Services Committee. A majority of Democrats supported it on the floor, though Congressman Frank and others voted against it because of unrelated restrictions it placed on the Affordable Housing Trust Fund. The bill passed the House, but the Bush administration and Senate Republicans opposed the Oxley bill. Senate Democrats offered the House‐passed Oxley bill in that chamber, but Senate Republicans, who held the majority, lacked the votes to pass the bill. They took no action on any bill.
On September 14, 2006, members of the House Financial Services Committee who had supported GSE reform, including Congressman Frank, sent a letter to then‐Senate Banking Committee Chairman
Richard Shelby urging the Senate to work with them to get a pill passed into law. The letter stated:
Accounting violations by the GSEs have brought to light the fact that current GSE regulators lack
many of the supervisory and enforcement powers bank regulators can wield. We must remedy
this situation by consolidating GSE regulation and providing the tools needed to oversee these
large, complex financial institutions. Both H.R. 1461 and S. 190 create a strong independent
agency to ensure the GSEs operate in a safe and sound manner and comply with their statutory
missions.
However, as Oxley told the Financial Times in September 2008, the White House gave House
Republicans “the one‐finger salute.”

Actually Bush's net job creation was worse than that, there were 6 million unemployed when he took office and 12 million when he left. So even though he gained 2 million jobs he lost 6 million for a net loss of 4 million.Wrong

That’s it? Pathetic. Trump over promised and under delivered. I wonder what the real unemployment number is20,000 jobs gained.Whats the numbers?Any Trumpettes want to talk about this yet?
Ummm no. People can enter the population as not in the labor force.
