House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and the other California Democrats are calling for an investigation into the foreclosure fraud scandal that has forced the nation’s biggest banks to halt foreclosures in 23 states.

“It just shows the irresponsibility of the banks, so eager were they to securitize those loans they didn’t care almost what they were,” said House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) in an interview with HuffPost on Tuesday.

That’s what you’ll conclude if you read Bob Woodward’s new book, Obama’s War. (You can read excerpts of it here, here and here.) You thought you voted for change when you cast a ballot for Barack Obama? Um, not when it comes to America occupying countries that don’t begin with a “U” and an “S.”
