Cheney says financial crisis was not foreseen »

The current financial crisis was completely unforeseen by the Bush administration, according to vice president Dick Cheney.

In an interview with the Associated Press, Cheney claimed that people could not place blame for the economy’s collapse on President Bush because “nobody anywhere was smart enough to figure it out.”

When asked whether Bush should apologize for not doing more to prevent the recession, the vice president said, “I don’t think he needs to apologize. I think what he needed to do is take bold, aggressive action and he has.”
