Saying "blameless" overstated the case. But the comment I was responding to said: > ...what led to the 2009 financial crisis was mostly done under the Clinton administration... That goes well beyond "Clinton doesn't get off Scot-free" all of the way to, "Clinton should get most of the blame." I'm firmly in agreement that Clinton contributed. But I'm going to need serious convincing that what he did was more important than, say, failing to enforce regulations against fraudulent advertising on subprime mortgages. Or blocking the 2005 GSE reform bill which would have allowed more action before that problem blew out of control.
