Um.  But here's the thing - our current credit problem is not the fault of black people.

The Republicans are no more visionaries or knights in shinning armor than the Democrats are the sole reason why we are in this horrible economic crisis. I agree with that statement. But there were two sides to this issue and one side voted to let it keep going while the other saw a problem and attempted to stop it.

You can't agree with my statement and then go on to say the exact opposite!  The sides to this issue are not as black and white as you want to make them.  It wasn't all Democrats continuing poor economic policy while all Republicans were visionaries.  The roots of this crisis didn't start with a Democratic controlled House and Senate.  It's not only because of the housing and lending crisis.  It's not just caused by legislation and/or policy from the Clinton Administration.  It's roots go back well over a decade and include contributing factors from both the Clinton and Bush Administration, by both a Republican controlled House and Senate to one controlled by Democrats.  In other words, there's not one party that was filled with visionaries bravely fighting to stop an impending economic crisis while another party wrung their hands and laughed manically.

You can set the money issue aside if you like, but the
original fact you were missing, and asking about, was
that Republicans did attempt to do something about the
issue.

I just threw in the money thing at the bottom and that's
what you latch onto.

I latched onto nothing. I asked you to provide links that say how the Dems stopped a Republican controlled Congress from fixing this mess before it happened. See my post 5 below the one where you blame the Dems for the whole mess. Still waiting.

You added the bit about the money Dodd and Obama got for no reason then?

Jodi I would also like to ask, is there ever a
situation where the democratic black caucus can be
rightly criticized without calling the critic a racist?

Thomas just an FYI it wasn't the Democratic Black Congressional Caucus, it was the Black Congressional Causus.(shows it as such, in big bold letters) This video wasn't an attack on the democrats, is was an attack on black people.

edited to add: But Thomas thanks for letting me know up front what kind of guy you are, so I can take your future posts with a grain of salt.
