I am tired of uniformed people blaming the banks and lenders for all of our economic problems. Barney Frank, Chris Dodd, Maxine Waters and, yes, President Obama, along with the rest of the liberals, forced the banks and lenders to make loans to the “down trodden poor,” who could not afford them.

When the “evil” Republicans tried to curb the excesses within Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae these people blocked all efforts and praised these institutions for there efforts, all the while receiving contributions.

The country would be well served by a better-informed voting public.
