[...] Banks already overexposed by these shaky loans were pushed still further in the wrong direction when government-sponsored Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac began buying up their bad loans and offering them for sale on world markets.

OBAMA EXPOSED: FINANCIAL/HOUSING SCANDAL

An independent counsel must be appointed to investigate Barack Obama and his closest advisors for their involvement in the Financial/Housing Crisis. The witness list must include:

BARACK OBAMA: $525,000 of contributions from bankrupt Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac and Lehman Brothers. Barack Obama has received more money from this bankrupt and corrupt organization than any other member of Congress. In his very short time as a lawyer, Obama represented clients seeking to force Lenders to provide high-risk, subprime mortgage loans which are now at the center of our nation’s major crisis.

FRANKLIN RAINES (Obama Top Advisor): former CEO of bankrupt Fannie Mae who was fired for “accounting irregularities” and was given a $90 million Golden Parachute.

JIM JOHNSON (Obama Top Advisor who chose Joe Biden as V.P.): former CEO of bankrupt Fannie Mae and CEO of bankrupt Lehman Brothers.

PENNY PRITZKER (Obama National Finance Chair): former Chair of bankrupt subprime lender, Superior Bank of Chicago. Paid $450 Million in fines to avoid potential criminal prosecution.

This is a huge scandal and must be exposed.

This hope and change business was Obama’s schtick. It’s what he ran on. He certainly didn’t have a legistlative record, experience, achievements to run on. It’s all he had. And it’s a sham.

Larry’s point was pretty clear.

He’s talking about Obama’s hypocrisy.

Obama is the one who ran on being Mr. Hope and Mr. Change.

I take no money from special interests, he said on his commercials.

I am the change you seek, he said.

He is running on lies.

By on this blog I mean in the comments section. I keep seeing these anti-choicer Republicans pop up in the comments and bringing up the abortion issue again and again.

If only they could show some genuine religious compassion and stop harassing these women who are trying to do what is best in the most difficult situation anyone could ever imagine. A situation I pray to God these self-rightous people who so easily disregard women and their families will never face. All they ask is to CHOOSE what is the best medical decision in peace. Government has no business making these decisions, nor do other people who have not walked a mile in their shoes.

Agree, there are definitely misnamed “pro-life” Republicans on this blog trying to throw the misnamed “partial birth abortion” issue in here.

Earth to religious zealots who choose to disregard a woman’s health and life - we have plenty of reasons to not like Obama without you coming here with your anti-woman nonsense.

Show you actually care about women and families. Educate yourselves like we have:

Unlike many American voters, Watts knows that “partial-birth abortion” does not exist. Coined by anti-choice activists, this term cannot be found in any medical dictionary. Its imprecision, according to defenders of choice, could target a whole host of procedures.

When Congress first considered the ban in 1995, Watts testified on Capitol Hill. So did Viki Wilson of Fresno, Calif., who had a late-term abortion because the brain of the fetus she was carrying had developed outside the skull. So did Vikki Stella of Naperville, Ill., whose fetus had no brain tissue and seven other major abnormalities.

Watts, Stella and Wilson point out that in virtually all cases, late-term abortions are the only way to respond to unanticipated complications: the death of the fetus inside the womb, problems that mean the fetus can’t live outside the womb, or serious threats to the mother’s health.

“No women has these procedures for frivolous reasons,” says Stella. “They have them because it’s their only choice.”

Pelosi’s comprehensive energy plan omits nuclear energy and clean coal.Why limit exploration for oil and natural gas to 50 miles ! Pelosi shelved the better energy plan and ajourned congress for 5 weeks.She went on a book tour !
She is an adament believer in Al Gore’s plan of making huge gains in not using oil in 10 years.Her view is “I’m out to save the planet from global warming.” Her and Harry Reid do not have comprehensive plans for energy independence in my book ,and are playing politics.
Where’s all the extra electricity going to come from Nancy to power our future cars ? If France can have 60% of it’s electricity generated by nuclear why not us?Will we end up like California some years ago with brownouts because not enough power plants were built. Maybe Pelosi needs a car with no engine and a sail on top .
I believe global warming is an issue but Nancy you can do better than this.As Senator McCain has said this issue is also a national security issue.

I live in Michiganistan, I was for Hillary and against Obama. When the DNC, Michiganistan Dem Party and Obama teamed up to STEAL MY VOTE I lost all faith in that Party. I had voted for DEMS for 40 yearsbut they are NOT DEMOCRATIC, the Primary season was FIXED, it was Decided by Obama winning crooked caucuses in RED States. Dean used his people from his 50 State Program for Obama, they were all in the tank for Obama at the DNC. The DEMS need to get rid of George Soros, he pays for MoveOn and the DEM Party, he is a Internatiobalist, like Obama, and doesn’t have the interests of America in mind.

No matter how civil they were to each other the media would find a way to make it look like they were sniping. And on the Jewish group, they have always had Hillary in their corner and know where she stands. But they’re nervous about Obama. He didn’t come, he didn’t send his VP pick, he tried to make the reassuring person come and shill for him so it would reassure the Jewish voters. But she didn’t carry his water, and she didn’t give any opportunity to snipe at either her or Palin.

I think that you should mention Rezko. People forget how close Obama was to this convicted criminal. They had a close relationship for 17 years…talking to each other on a daily bases. Obama was a community organizer, and the camera crew should go to district 13 of the south side and take pictures of the boarded up houses there. Obama was instrumental in awarding Rezko millions to refurbish low income housing. Instead Rezko abandoned the housing projects and pocketed the money. Why did Obama not hold him accountable? The public has a right to know this. He dumped on his own constituents, the most oppressed in this country. Obama to quote Bill Clinton is nothing but a “Chicago Thug” Every person he ever ran against either in a primary or general election he used “anarachist” tactics. He and his good friend Axelrod and Company would eliminate their opponent by devious means (we saw that with Hillary…black supporters of Hillary were threatened to back Obama along with other superdelagetes…superdelagetes therefore did not waite for the convention to throw their support to a candidate,thus they annointed Obama). He would attack and then play the victim. This country has never been this racially divided.
Obama is a crook…This is about OBama……

Although I love the Clintons and have been voting straight democrat for 41 years I must change now to Republican. President Clinton signed the legislation would removed the safeguards for Wall Street and the Housing Industry in 1999. Although I am sure he did not expect them to go crazy as they have done, that legislation led to this crisis. Senator McCain proposed legislation to institute new safeguards which passed the house but died in the Senate at the democrats hands. The republicans are not for once responsible for this crisis.

Yes, do us a favor and don’t have your vote count, like Dade Co., all of Florida, or Michigan.

Is our democracy learning?
