Change you can believe in.

When I worked in the stock brokerage business, back in the 70’s and 80’s, the biggest threat to us was the SEC. Now they’re a joke.

Also, when I wanted to buy a house in the 70’s, it was extremely, highly, and just plain illegal to borrow the down payment. You would go to jail, and so would the banker who lent the money. In recent years, it’s been considered “good business.” I don’t remember those laws being rescinded.

Unregulated markets are nuts.

2. The top contributors to the Obama campaign are the very Wall Street firms whose shady mortgage lenders buried the elderly and the poor and minority under predatory loans.

According to the Black Agenda Report,

“Seven of the Obama campaign’s top 14 donors consisted of officers and employees of the same Wall Street firms charged time and again with looting the public and newly implicated in originating and/or bundling fraudulently made mortgages. These latest frauds have left thousands of children in some of our largest minority communities coming home from school to see eviction notices and foreclosure signs nailed to their front doors. Those scars will last a lifetime.

“How can ‘we,’ the people, make change if Obama’s money backers block our ability to be heard?”
These seven Wall Street firms are (in order of money given): Goldman Sachs, UBS AG, Lehman Brothers, JP Morgan Chase, Citigroup, Morgan Stanley and Credit Suisse. ” (emphasis added.)

Lehman Brothers, the fourth biggest U.S. investment bank, filed for bankruptcy Monday after two most serious buyers Barcklays and Bank of America (BOA) withdrew from talks to buy the firm. New York-based Lehman, the biggest U.S. underwriter of mortgage securities, has lost 94 percent of its market value this year after record losses from investments tied to mortgages.

Brokaw called Schumer on how much money Obama is getting from Wall Street on Meet the Press on 9-14-08

MR. BROKAW: “Senator Schumer, we’re told today by the Obama campaign that they raised $66 million last month. That’s a very impressive number. He has set new records for raising money.”

SEN. SCHUMER: “You know, I’d say two things here. First, Obama’s contributions, more than anyone else, come in the $10s and $25 from average citizens. This is…”

MR. BROKAW: “But a lot of them come from big friends of yours on Wall Street and New York, and people have big chunks of money…”

3. Obama got $126,000 from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac Investments. He is the third biggest recipient of political money from these funds in the last 20 years.

4. McCain is offering solutions, including calling for stricter government regulations.

5. Obama is blaming the economic policies of the Bush Administration.

Obama-Change we can believe in: Take more campaign money from Wall Street, offer no solutions and blame others.

He is saying BO is all talk, but what a way to say it.

gotta love it.

Or How Obama got where he is today.

When is this nation gonna stop pointing fingers at the other person?

These are malidies are as old as man.

To say “but he does it” is not an excuse for one’s own behavior.

To outright lie about it as BO does is shameful.

O’balderdash, Oblather, Obunkum, Oclaptrap, Odrivel, Ogarbage, Oidiocy, Opiffle, Opoppycock, Origmarole, Orubbish, Otomfoolery, Otrash, O’twaddle…

Come mon Francis work with me here!

Dam mice.

As long as BO has chosen to spend Money for support he will only recieve IOU’s.

I can barely containt myself thinking about all those SD’s and Dem’s doing the “take the money and run” dance.

Hey BO! See ya, wouldn’t want to be ya!
