A recent news article reports:

"Reckless actions by a few have fueled a recession that spans the globe," Obama said of the meltdown that began in the United States with a tumble in housing prices and drastic slowing of business lending. The downturn now threatens superpowers and emerging nations alike.

"Reckless actions by a few," indeed.  Those few being...oh, I don't know...Bernanke, Paulson, Bush, Geithner, and Obama, to start with a very limited list.
