It was the bundling of mortgage based assets, shoddy oversight by regulators and derivative trading (which largely circumvented regulations) that are probably most to blame.
Certainly sub-prime borrowers were/are a part of the problem once the market stalled, but don't think for a second the banks didn't love handing out mortgages like candy. They could skim a little cream from the top and let somebody else deal with the rotten milk at the bottom.
