It's time to complain about AP reporting again!
http://news.cincinnati.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20081003/NEWS0106/810030394

BIDEN: Complained about "economic policies of the last eight years" that led to "excessive deregulation."

THE FACTS: Biden voted for 1999 deregulation that liberal groups are blaming for part of the financial crisis today. The law allowed Wall Street investment banks to create the kind of mortgage-related securities at the core of the problem now.

My comment for those who may not realize this is incorrect.

Calvin Woodward is incorrect. On May 6, 1999 Biden voted against Gramm-Leach-Bliley

Here is the roll call

Nay DE Biden, Joseph

Gramm-Leach-Bliley also known as the Financial Service Modernization Act passed the senate on a 54-44 partisan vote.

Joe Biden voted for for the final Conference Report 6 months after FSMA passed the Republican Senate. Democrats did not have the votes to stop it.

2. More than this: Oct. 2008 minus eight years would not include that vote
AP needs a factcheck of its factcheck.
