Maxine Waters blames Bush for her troubles

Embattled Rep. Maxine Waters on Friday blamed the Bush administration for her ethics problems -- saying she had to intervene with the Treasury Department on behalf of minority-owned banks seeking federal bailout funds -- including one tied to her husband -- because the Treasury Department wouldn't schedule its own appointments.

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."

But the House ethics committee, which is investigating Waters for allegedly improperly using her position for personal gain, says in its report of charges that when the meeting was held, the officers of only one bank came -- OneUnited.

That's a problem for Waters since her husband, Sidney Williams, served as a member of OneUnited's board of directors from January 2004 until April 2008, and was a stockholder in the bank.

you guys are missing the forest for the trees by listening to mass media. once again, this is the cornhuskers vs. sooners mentality. fox news is rep and nbc is dem...just lies on both sides though keeping you wanting to root for your team...when both teams are against you.

they both work for the global bankers....

there are no republicans with the exception of Ron Paul that is working for you and he is not a real rep. he is really independent/libertarian.

You sound like a poster we used to have around here, accusing me of using MSM sources. So I pulled up all the sources I had used in 30 days. It came out to about 50 and the majority were not MSM.

So don't miss the forest.

it is not your source as much as the content of rep vs. dems....

When Reps get back in power you will see that I am just as hard on them.

But until then, I would rather concentrate on the things that can be changed and not live in the past.
