Deregulation led to the great depression and the great recession.

386 filibusters in 6 years my friend. Last time I cheched a filibuster was blocking something.
 
and Obama made it worse

In what way did he make is worse? When he took office 850,000 jobs where being lost every month. That had been going on since Oct of 2008. That number went down after he took office but the damage had been already done. I don't think he made it worse because it was already horrible as it was and could not have gotten any worse. When you are on the bottom there is only one way to go and that is up.
 
It was the removal of the regulations that allowed the government to force banks to make bad loans.

BTW, it was Clinton that signed the bill repealing Glass-Steagal. It was Carter and the Democrat controlled Congress that passed the Community Reinvestment Act.

It would not have mattered if Clinton signed the bill or not. The bill was sponsored by the three Republican lawmakers it was named for who were part of the Republican majority in Congress at that time. Passed the House 362-57 and the Senate 90-8. The President's veto power was overridden from the get go.
