No, it was definitely due in part to the Obama Administration
See what i mean? The auto industry was given a life line by Bush 43. Bear Stearns was absorbed JP Chase, through the help of the Treasury (former CEO of Goldman Sachs) and Fed, in the summer of 2008. The housing bubble peaked in 2006/early 2007. Lehman's collapse occurred in Q4 2008. TARP was originally enacted under the direction of Bush 43, in which then Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson had to get down on his knees and beg House Speaker Pelosi, because his own party voted against it.
I just didn't know about the other things.
Clearly you don't know many things. But that doesn't keep you from making matter-of-fact statements regarding them.
