Anderson Cooper lists Phil Gramm has one of the 10 who caused the collapse...
Edited on Mon Oct-13-08 09:54 PM by sfam
Anderson Cooper just listed Phil Gramm on CNN's 360. While he certainly belongs at the top of the list, I was a little surprised that CNN went there. It wouldn't surprise me to see Obama take advantage of this, and perhaps mention it on Wednesday's debate. :)

3. They pointed out that Clinton supported the initial legislation, but that Gramm was the leader...

He was the one that really pushed through this permissive atmosphere.

9. I can just hear Obama commenting on this..."Even CNN lists McCain's chief economic advisor as...
one of the top 10 worst people who brought the country to this calamity...."

12. I would not be surprised
to see Obama turn up on this list somewhere - not because he belongs there, but because CNN in recent days has shown that they will go to ridiculous lengths to help McCain.

14. Phil should have poured more ¢a$h into TRUCK STOP WOMEN!
Oh, if Phil Gramm had only poured another $10,000 into Truck Stop Women, he would have become a successful porno producer and never gotten into politics :cry:
