    Here’s the rest of Obama’s words from that day:
    And we cannot help but see some reflections of these practices when we look at the subprime mortgage fiasco today.

    Subprime lending started off as a good idea – helping Americans buy homes who couldn’t previously afford to.

    Most everyone knew that some of these deals were just too good to be true, but all that money flowing in made it tempting to look the other way and ignore the unscrupulous practice of some bad actors.
