Bush’s former Treasury Secretary: ‘I don’t think Bush understands’ the financial crisis.»

Former Treasury Secretary Paul O’Neill said President Bush is “in a panic” over the financial crisis and isn’t well-equipped to deal with it. “I don’t think he understands or knows much about any of this and it shows,” O’Neill told ABC News. In his 2004 book, The Price of Loyalty, O’Neill revealed that Dick Cheney argued in a White House meeting that “deficits don’t matter.” O’Neill also said that he was disturbed that Bush was so disengaged on domestic issues.

15. I don't think Bush, McCain or any of the Republicans understand the financial crisis

They caused it, but they don't know what all they have done. They sure don't know how to fix it.
