Blatantly absent from the Time Magazine list are the expediters of our financial crisis, Barney Frank and Chris Dodd. They are more to blame than either Bill Clinton or George Bush.

By continuing to promote unviable mortgages by Fanny and Freddy, when it was obvious to everyone that the whole scam was causing the economy to teeter. GW tried to stop it early in his presidency, but Frank and Dodd were claiming they were sound, and Frank and my senator, Chucky Schumer, were extoling the virtue of those programs just day before the crash. No one can tell me these guys were ignorant of the crisis. Their actions were criminal, but Time Magazine, in their usual irrelavancy, didn't include them on their wishful thinking list.

I blame James Dobson of Focus on the Family imfamy. His apocalyptic vision causes his followers to believe the world could end any second now. If there's no tomorrow, by golly, let's spend that way!
