Maybe Carville and Begala are right...

...about engaging in the blame-game politics, because the Republicans seem happy to completely accept the premise that "Republican policies" alone led to the financial crisis. I admire the effort to look forward, but if the President is going to continue to advance this revision of history, it might not hurt to push back and mention that the myriad of top-down government housing and mortgage programs may also have contributed to the mess.

They could even take it a step further and mention that the Administration wants to become involved in the health care industry in the same way that it became involved in the housing and mortgage markets. And then let people use their imagination.
