Maxine Waters: It was Bush's fault
Embattled California Congresswoman Maxine Waters calls a press conference and clears the air:
"The California Democrat said in a Capitol Hill news conference -- an event rarely held during a congressional recess -- that she reached out to then-Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson in late 2008 when his department failed to respond to the National Bank Association's request for a meeting.
'The question at this point should not be why I called Secretary Paulson, but why I had to,' she said. 'The question at this point should be why a trade association representing over 100 minority banks could not get a meeting at the height of the crisis.'"
Shame on you George Bush.
