Bush and Zero-Down Payments

On a blog I usually frequent, mention was made that the press is avoiding the fact that it was Bush's desire to increase housing for minorities by campaigning strongly for lending with zero down payments that in part gave people houses that they didn't have the earning power to maintain.

Why hasn't the press trumpeted this error on the part of Bush? The obvious reason is that the conservative press is trying to protect a bad president, while the liberal press, who are supposed to be the defenders of minorities, do not want to show that Bush had any compassion for minorities, despite his obvious desire for more illegal immigration, his support for Affirmative Action, and his aid to Africa in support of HIV.

Here is an article on Bush's assault on down payments:

Do you believe that this article was written in 2005???

It is shame that being right doesn't measure up to being politically correct!
