I actually remember the testimony. I was living in DC at the time.
Do you know that anyone can propose legislation as long as you can find someone on the Hill to carry your water and take up your issue? I'm not defending the Congress, I think they have been a huge disappointment. But, if the President of the United States thought that the financial markets were headed for trouble, based on the information that was being provided during testimony, and the Congress said that they didn't think it was a problem, then he could have taken his concerns to the American people and asked them to push their representatives for legislation. When you are the number 1 guy in the country, you are ultimately for everything that happens on your watch -- you can't sit back and throw up your hands. There was a time when Bush had a great deal of influence on the Hill, but he squandered it.
