New Ad on Washington Sleaze

The American Issues Project, the 501 (c)4 organization whose first ad exposed Obama’s long-term friendship with domestic terrorist Bill Ayers and which the Obama team tried to quash, released a new ad on Wednesday about the economic meltdown, Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, and corruption. This ad does not mention Obama or the fact he received the second largest amount of donations from Freddie and Frannie, but it does talk about Sen. Chris Dodd, the man who received the most donations. Although not directed at Obama, this ad implies the danger of an Obama administration coupled with the corruption and sleaze in Washington which is the cause of this crisis. In this way, I think the ad underscores McCain’s anti-Washington, maverick message:

The American Issues Project, in a press release from today, says the ad seeks to put the blame of the crisis on Washington liberals:

Our ad seeks to set the record straight and let the American people know who is responsible for this $700 billion catastrophe,” said Ed Martin, the organization’s president. “While liberals and some in the media try to affix blame to the Bush Administration for the housing crisis and resulting financial meltdown, this is one case where the real impetus for all these troubles is crystal clear. It was not the free market but government supported and propped-up institutions Fannie and Freddie that are the root cause. All roads for this failure lead back to liberals and their close ties to these two government institutions.

The initial ad buy is for $1 million and it will run on cable news networks.

Below is the first ad on Obama’s ties to domestic terrorist Bill Ayers:

Here are some No Quarter posts on the first American Issues Project ad and Bill Ayers:

    sorry correction ad

  • tek

    Pelosi is now promising another 150 billion stimulus if Obama is elected. Just out and out bribery. They must be worried.

  • workingclass artist

    Those ads are effective…No wonder Barky and the New Party want to quash them…
    I especially like the Do you know enough about Barky?
    It is a stinging double indictment…Barky/DNC ad the MSMPORN…Brilliant

  • Objective analysis

    All they need to do is use the C-Span trials in 2005 with the ads and we all will know who was behind this.

  • Ani

    It would be nice for the American people to actually see the truth, rather than pundit spin.

    This is great, Bud. Thanks for posting this story.

  • Kal

    Those are quick fixes — much better to put the money into McCain’s mortgage rescue plan.

  • Astra14

    I missed that one. Pelosi actually said if Obama is elected there would be another stimulus payment? So, if McCain is elected she’s going to approve one, right? I’d call that blackmail, but given the fact that the last stimulus payment didn’t do anything to help the economy the word blackmail is a little too strong!

    The bailout hasn’t even helped the stock market!

    I work my butt off and I’m watching my tax dollars going everywhere but not to anything that would actually help me and my family and my neighbors. The last stimulus payment went to pay bills, but it didn’t do anything to improve the quality life for anyone I know. It didn’t make me able to afford health insurance, didn’t stop the Wall Street from going under, what was the whole purpose of the first stimulus payment, anyway? I’ve seen nothing come out of it, so why would a second one be any different other than to help increase the government’s deficit?

    I’m voting for McCain!

    OT: Archived files show Obama was a member of the New Party.

    The New Party was a radical left organization, established in 1992, to amalgamate far left groups and push the United States into socialism by forcing the Democratic Party to the left. It was an attempt to regroup the forces on the left in a new strategy to take power, burrowing from within. The party only lasted until 1998, when its strategy of “fusion” failed to withstand a Supreme Court ruling, but after, but the membership, including Barack Obama, continued to move the Democrats leftward with spectacular success.

    ACORN bragging about getting
    Fannie Mae involved with the sub-prime loans and using Fannies AAA rating to attract investors in the mortgages

    Another national agreement between ACORN and Fannie Mae broke through the last major barrier to expanding home ownership opportunities to low-income families. Even when banks had agreed to ACORN’s innovative underwriting standards, they were limited by the secondary mortgage market’s refusal to buy the loans. After a series of negotiations, Fannie Mae launched a $55 million pilot program in 11 cities to purchase mortgages from banks which have reinvestment agreements with ACORN. In the two weeks following announcement of the program, ACORN offices received 4,360 calls from community residents seeking information about it.

    The latest agreement between Fannie Mae and ACORN opened the secondary market for below market interest rate loans. Fannie Mae will bundle ACORN-counseled loans and securitize them. With Fannie Mae’s AAA credit rating, the resultant ACORN Mortgage Backed Securities become attractive to socially motivated investors. The first one for $10 million of loans originated by NationsBank was purchased by Allstate Insurance.

    If you recall, Obama said when he is president he would give everyone a $1,000 stimulous rebate, $300 – $600 was not enough. Well I think everyone should be investing in PAPER because there is going to be a lot of printing.

    Re: Washington sleaze.

    Who’s sleazier, Democrats or Repubs—or are we too grossed-out to want to know?

    Here’s some evidence that, if the Democrats are a rotten fish, the Republicans are a rotten whale.

    An organization called CREW puts out an annual report on the most corrupt members of Congress:
    http://www.crewsmostcorrupt.org/

    This year’s list of 24 most corrupt Congresspersons boasts 17 Republicans vs. 7 Democrats, making Republicans more than twice as corrupt as Democrats—this year.

    If you examine past reports at CREW’s website, you’ll see that 2008 is an especially bad year for the Democrats. Generally, there are no more than three or four Democrats, making the Republicans roughly five or six times more corrupt than the Democrats. Offered as evidence.

  • Pennsylvania goes RED!

    Got this from a link on another of today’s threads:

    The Davis Plan, and connections to Obama
    While serving in Navy Intelligence from 1958-1967, In 1963 I read the FBI file on Frank Marshal Davis. He had out lined the Communist plan to take over america from within, by installing educators at all levels of our educational system, gaining control of the media, getting Liberal judges appointed, recruiting, training and backing people to be elected to public office. I have researched every piece of legislation i can find that the Liberal democrats have passed since the early sixties, and if you will research for your self you will find that they have been slowly moving this country towards Socialism. When Obama announced he was Running for President, an unknown, with only one major speeech at the DNC that the DNC abd MSM made so much fuss over, aroused my old Intel suspisions, so I started researching. I have not found any evidence to convince me he is a Muslim, but I did find his radical associations were unusual. I found that Frank Marshal Davis who had fled from Chicago to Hawaii in 1958 because of the FBI investigation, met Obama in Hawaii when Obama was 12 years old, and was Obama’s mentor from then till Davis died in 1987. Davis put Obama in touch with the Socialist Party in Chicago (called the New Party) which Ayers is also a member of, therefore the first “Planned” contact with Ayres. The New Party helped launch and finance Obama’s political Career. Obama…..selected, trained, groomed, and scripted to become the “puppet” leader of the United Socialist States of America

  • SIGH

    The ads are good but can be better.

    The Meltdown ad should clearly point out Obama is the 2nd receipient of Fannie & Freddy. It also should clearly pointed out Obama’s connections with ACORN and the “politically correct” loans through ACORD.

    Who is CREW?
    By The Hill Staff
    Posted: 03/30/05 12:00 AM [ET]
    Why would any person or organization professing to believe in clean democracy object to revealing the names of the people influencing its policy?

    One such is Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) — a self-important moniker if ever there was one — which has repeatedly refused to tell The Hill who sits on its board of directors, unlike all eight other members of the Congressional Ethics Coalition.

    CREW’s secrecy is hypocritical. Its avowed mission is to promote greater transparency in federal politics. Its website boasts, “Our aim is to encourage officials to be open about their values and to act based upon their honest and best assessment of the public interest.

    “If a government agency withholds information to which the public is entitled, CREW will go to court to enforce legal rules regarding disclosure.”

    Sounds fine, no? But transparency is also appropriate for an organization that is at the center of partisan disputes, such as the growing ethics war in the House of Representatives.

    CREW assisted former Rep. Chris Bell (D-Texas) in drafting a complaint against Rep. Tom DeLay (R-Texas) that resulted in the majority leader’s admonishment by the House Committee on Standards of Official Conduct.

    Last May, CREW wrote to Attorney General John Ashcroft requesting an investigation into whether former Rep. (now Sen.) John Thune (R-S.D.) violated a federal criminal statute prohibiting members of Congress from lobbying their former colleagues for one year after they leave Congress.

    In October, CREW asked the Department of Justice Public Integrity Section to investigate whether Rep. Marilyn Musgrave (R-Colo.) broke federal law by running her reelection campaign out of her congressional district office.

    There is a pattern here. In the overwhelming majority of complaints and critiques detailed in news releases posted on CREW’s website, Republicans or their allies are the targets. One of the few complaints lodged against a Democrat was a joint complaint against Sen. Blanche Lambert Lincoln (D-Ark.) and Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist (R-Tenn.).

  • Shiloh

    Saying something like that is frought with danger and no-one with a rudimentary knowledge of politics would say it unless they were feeling desperate. The Obama campaign right now reminds me of a football team at the beginning of the fourth quarter with a 7 point lead but their quarterback and running back are out. All they can hope to do is hold on in the face of the oncoming onslaught. I also heard today that McCain personally believes that elections are won and lost in the final days. Obama has shot his wad and McCain has kept his powder dry.

  • Ivory Bill Woodpecker

    If Plastic Jesus Obama does win, his blend of neocon economics and foreign policy with Whole Foods Nation hectoring moralism and a veneer of cultural radicalism [hip-hop "artists" in the White House and such] will spark serious electoral backlashes in 2010 and 2012.

    2-4 years of Oborg supporters strutting around like little tin gods won’t help his situation, either.

    The GOP would actually benefit, assuming defeat sharpens their wits enough to make them abandon their neocon element.

    Prez Obama in 2009, Prez Palin in 2013.

    The USA will survive. It always does.

    WHAT SLEAZE??
    OBAMA HUNG WITH TERRORISTS AND STILL DOES!!!

    Obama is laundering money from Midle East Terrorists as I write this.

    It is part of the $400,000,000 plus that he raised, most of it from Middle East Terrorists.

    It’s relevant because terrorists are buying our next government.

    It’s relevant because once you are a Muslim, as Obama was listed in Indonesia, You are always a Muslim.

    This article is from todays “Hornell Evening Tribune”, a small city on N.Y. Sotherntier, about a neighboring little town of Nunda N. Y.

    By Justin Head
    The Evening Tribune
    Wed Oct 08, 2008, 12:03 PM EDT

    ——————————————————————————–

    Nunda, N.Y. –
    Doodad Pro is the most famous resident in Nunda.

    And ever since ‘he’ donated thousands of dollars to Barack Obama’s campaign, people cannot get enough of him.

    Unfortunately, it appears Doodad Pro does not exist.

    According to an article in the Oct. 13 issue of Newsweek, Obama’s war chest benefited from $17,130 in $10 and $25 dollar increments from a person named Doodad Pro of Nunda and over $11,000 from Good Will of Austin, Texas. The problem is that these identities cannot be confirmed, according to Newsweek. Neither name had ever been publicly reported because both individuals made online donations. The Federal Election Commission (FEC) informed the campaign it had to returned the money received from the unnamed donors. The money was returned using the credit card numbers used for the donations.

    The address listed by donor Doodad Pro — 10 North State St. — happens to be the same address as Lloyd & Lynn’s Liquor & Wine in Nunda. Lloyd and Lynn Kirwan said they did not make the donation and are shocked by recent media inquires about who did.

    “I got call from the magazine last Friday asking about Doodad Pro, I told them I didn’t know what they heck they were talking about … the whole thing is getting blown way out of proportion,” said Lloyd Kirwan as he described the sudden interest in his store’s address. He said that a store called Doodad’s Boutique was located next to the liquor store, but closed last year. The store was a consignment clothing store with knick-knacks for sale operated by Patricia Cutler of Nunda, who was not available for comment. Now, there is a real estate business in its place. The building used to be a hardware store in the 1980s, but split into two store fronts some time after it closed. The building is owned by Tom Byrnes.

    Kirwan said he is not the one who donated the money, but has been asked about Doodad Pro before.

    “About six months ago we had local police come to the store and report that a Doodad Pro had ordered sporting goods merchandise from this address,” said Kirwan. That was the first time he heard of Doodad Pro.

    “A few weeks ago people who said they were state sale tax representatives asked about the whereabouts of Doodad Pro,” he said, adding, “This is the third instance I’ve been asked about such a person, I don’t know whether it’s a case of business theft or identity theft, but something is definitely going here.

    “My next step is to have the owner of the building change my address,” said Kirwan. “You’d think if they wanted to find this person they would just track down the credit card. I don’t even own a credit card.”

    Contributions of $10 or $25 do not need to be publicly revealed by the campaigns because they do not exceed $200. This is why a donor can fraudulently use any name or address for small online donations. Obama’s campaign said the money has been returned to the donor because it exceeded the $2,300 per-person federal campaign donation limit, according to the article in Newsweek. The FEC is in the process of auditing Obama’s small donations.

    Last year, Obama’s campaign refused to offer any information about its small donors to campaign watchdog groups while the McCain campaign posted the information on its Website and supports measures to make campaign funding more transparent. Obama has raised more than $450 million of campaign money amidst scrutiny of the authenticity and legitimacy of his smaller donors.

    The Newsweek article reported that earlier this year, the Obama campaign returned $33,000 to two Palestinian brothers in the Gaza Strip who had bought a huge portion of Tee shirts from the campaign’s online store. The men had listed their address as Ga., which the campaign thought was Georgia and not Gaza.

    WHY CAN’T WE HAVE THE “DREAM TICKET” OF HILLARY AND SARAH???

  • Firefly

    (I posted this question near the end of the last thread – am reposting here because I need someone to reassure me this scenario can’t happen!)

    I just had a horrible, nightmarish thought – PLEASE somebody set me straight!

    What if 0bama’s OCTOBER SURPRISE is already set up? What if the republican 527s have a mountain of dirt on barky, ready to expose in the last couple weeks leading up to the election and ALL the networks refuse to air their ads? I read somewhere that some (smaller) media outfits have already refused to run some 527 ads against barky, saying they have to run candidate ads but NOT 527s – any lawyers here? Is that true?

    The “truth squads,” the lawsuits and mainly the threat of lawsuits and investigations into anyone who says anything negative about The One have already set the scene. What if barky’s campaign already has agreements from all the 0bamamedia that they’ll “at the last minute” have a bout of conscience and decide to “not run negative political ads?”

    The media’s recent “desire” for everybody to “play nice” since the Ayers stuff has come on the scene makes me really really suspicious of how this is gonna play out.

    I’m really hoping I’m just paranoid……

  • educatedwhitewoman

    Breaking News: on Sean Hannity radio show now, Jerome Corsi says he has documentary evidence Obama was in direct contact and supporting far-left wing politician Odinga (Obama’s cousin from the Luo Kenyan tribe). Obama went there in 2006 on a Senate trip and was supporting Odinga in his bid for President of Kenya, even after Odinga signed a memorandum of understanding with Muslims that if he won, Odinga would support Sharia law. Obama remained in direct contact with Odinga by cell phone after this. Odinga started tribal violence after Odinga lost, 800 Christian churches were burned down, but Obama still supported Odinga. Corsi has emails from Obama’s Senate office identifying Mark Lipper, one of Obama’s aides, as the contact person. Emails between Odinga and Obama from Obama’s Senate Office, advising Odinga how to organize his Kenyan campaign. Also, documents from Kenya regarding whipping up tribal violence to win the election and then claim fraud if we leave. Odinga’s party members claim Obama knew about this document – plan. Corsi says he has the documents – he’s in London now. Talking on the phone with Hannity as I type.

    BREAKING BREAKING BREAKING NEWS!!!!

    Jerome Corsi Exclusive on Hannity radio: Just released from Kenya. When they kicked him out a Kenya official said, “See you in hell.”

    He claims to have clear documentary evidence that Obama was in direct touch with Odinga FROM HIS SENATE OFFICE going back to 2006 & 2007, offering political strategy and he agreed with Odinga’s strategies, even after he started appealing to the radical Muslims in Kenya who advocated Sharia Law. Obama was in contact ALMOST DAILY with Odinga even when he was campaigning in New Hampshire. Validated with government officials in Kenya.

    Corsi: He has emails from Obama’s Senate office to one Odinga’s top aides. (25) emails from Odinga to Obama’s Senate office.

    There is a whole campaign strategy from Obama to Odinga: here’s how you organize your campaign, how your campaign manager should work, your finances.

    Odinga talks about using radical Muslim forces to whip up outrage, and if he lost, they would claim voter fraud. He has evidence that Obama knew about this, and continued to support Odinga. He chose to overlook the tribal violence Odinga advocated. This violence led to burning villages, killing women and children.

    100% certain about authenticity of documents. They come from people very close to Odinga, because he signed agreement with Islamic radicals who supported Sharia Law, and these Kenyans separated form Odinga. They gave Corsi the documents. Hannity is going to put him on the show. This is his first interview since he got through immigration.

    This is going to blow up.

  • educatedwhitewoman

    This is amazing – if Corsi has documents proving that Obama knew of Odinga’s plan to foment tribal violence BEFORE the election to WIN it, then claim FRAUD, if Odinga lost, and that Obama remained in contact with Odinga after Odinga lost, emailing from Senate office!

    Also Carville and 0bamacrat operatives have already been active making excuses for an upcoming 0bama loss. So at the very least, the 0bama campaign is in disorder, since its mouthpieces can’t even stay on message.

    On the other side, David Brooks also thinks it’s an 0bama win coming up. Which just proves the major disconnect from the people to the Beltway/Manhattan elites. They really do think it’s their world. There was a time when some of those pundits commanded respect. But more and more it appears their allegiance is to their paycheck only.

    I know almost nothing about finance so trying to figure out what has been going on here is a little like a blind person trying to piece a jigsaw puzzle.

    I definitely accept the idea that the Democrats allowed abuse of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and they certainly share responsibility for this debacle.

    However, I doubt if they are the only parties to blame. I asked someone who knows quite a bit about finance and they don’t know what is going on either. That person did suggest that actions by hedge funds could lead to the initiating circumstance for this current crisis. So far that makes as much sense to me as anything. This is what Wikipedia says about hedge funds:

    “The assets under management of a hedge fund can run into many billions of dollars, and this will usually be multiplied by leverage, meaning that their influence over markets is substantial. Hedge funds dominate certain specialty markets such as trading within derivatives with high-yield ratings and distressed debt.[1]”

    So I conclude from that..if a hedge fund withdrew their assets from one of the investment banks bloated with bad mortgage securities or whatever they are called, then that could tip the scale. To me, that means this current situation may not have developed except for such an action…which, of course, has a lot of bearing in a major, critical election.

    Also, the 9/11 Truth website had a very interesting 2004 interview with Catherine Austin Fitts, former deputy secretary of HUD. According to her, the Dpt of Defense uses the mortgage market to funnel funds for black programs and thus can manipulate the mortgage market regardless of any other circumstance.

    I am very curious about all this, but it won’t affect my vote. Obama truly is a sleaze and a liar and an opportunist and the New Democrats are no better. I think McCain is an honorable man and I will vote for him. I just hope he shuts out that weasel Phil Gramm as an advisor.

    You’re right. It is a much more complicated situation. Much of the blame has to go to Bill Clinton and his aides. http://article.nationalreview.com/?q=ZjRjYzE0YmQxNzU4MDJjYWE5MjIzMTMxMmNhZWQ1MTA=&w=MA== I’m sorry to say that because I long have been a big supporter of his.

    It is simplistic and incorrect to say — Fannie was not in the subprime business at the “critical” time. Kurtz explains a lot of what was happening and what drew so many private banks into the mess.

    Frank was asleep at the switch, I believe, in not acting on legislation the administration wanted a couple of years ago. I recall that the Hagel/McCain bill passed a Senate committee.

    And Frank definitely did advise people a few months ago that Fannie had its problems in the past. That was the subject of the O’Reilly tape. And Frank is supposed to be the smartest guy in the House?

    It would make no difference what Obama smoked, or was to admit he is a communist, or was a child molester because the American public is shook up about the economy and they are blaming the republicans. The Pennsylvania polls are terrible and McCain has been losing the women’s vote and the elderly over this issue. McCain needs to lay out, step by step by step, a economic plan to turn this economy around again and put it back on track. He should call a economic press conference and lay it out for the entire world to see. Follow that up with a full TV and radio blitz from now to the election. Have two rallies a day from now until election day, one in the morning and the other in the evening. McCain to attend one and Palin the other. Americans trust McCain and if the economic plan make sense and they understand it, McCain wins!

    I couldn’t give a ratz ass about polls, Obot.

  • 30yrdem-not any more

    Don’t buy anything from the John McCain store or you will be trowing your money away.

    On 8/21/08 I placed a $258.00 dollar order with them and never got it. They lied to me over and over about the order. Finally I got a tracking number from them and they had sent it to Texas. I don’t live in Texas. It was refused on the 24th of last month. They kept telling me it was sent. They called me last Friday and said they sent it. They called me Monday and said they sent it. I said I thought you sent it Friday??? Today, this morning at 10:47am they called me and said we have your package back and wanted to know if I wanted it. WTF! I said yes go ahead and send it. At 3:35pm I got a call saying that my package had been broken into and it all was not there. They put me on hold. Came back, I told her I wanted my money back. She said let me sell you something else. I ordered a couple things to make up the difference, then I thought no I don’t even want the crap anymore, just send me my money back. GET THIS She said we can’t because I just put it on the Fed-X truck. Again I say WTF! They gave me some tracking number that is not any good. No wonder McCain can’t win this thing. His people can’t even run a on-line store and today he blew it with his my fellow “Prisoners” remark. Lying sacks of sh!t! All of them!

  • Diana

    Well we know Obama continued to call him and take calls from him in New Hampshire Raila said that himself. Obama’s camp too slow to act again in saying just get him out of the country, instead they allow further attention to be brought to this by him being arrested, jailed, etc…

  • Leisa

    Thanks countryfirst. I knew that CREW was partisan, just as Perry is behaving.

    The Democratic Party threw away it’s principles and ideologies for an idea. Perry, you are acting like a jilted lover, the Democratic Party you loved so much is not what it once was. Obama tells us to get over it, so, what are you gonna do?

    Now that I have been burned by my party, I am free to play with both parties and the fringe independents, and it is much more fun and liberating.

    We are all Americans, I will no longer trust a politician with my vote because of his/her brand.

    Your partisan harping sounds like Nancy Pelosi and her polarizing, partisan politics.

    Both Republicans and Democrats have bad apples in their party. We are seeking a balance here and defending Barney Frank is pretty far out on a partisan limb, IMHO.

    Would it make you feel better if I talk about Ted Stevens? His defense attorneys have renewed a bid to throw the corruption case against him out… He needs to go as well as the others in congress that put themselves and their friends before our country…

  • educatedwhitewoman

    Yes, I listened to it. Corsi has emails, phone records; it appears that former Odinga supporters have turned on Odinga and turned over the documents to Corsi. When Corsi was arrested, luckily the documents were back at the hotel and his friends packed them in his bags. Corsi wasn’t sure he would ever get out, but when they threatened him with detention, he said they would have to charge him with a crime and they backed down. It’s over for Obama if this is true.

    Some of that reverse psychology BS. Discourage, the people enough by telling them it’s over they won’t bother to vote.

Look how Roe V Wade worked against them this year. How it worked out telling people in SD that Hillary had conceded the election. How they thought by telling us to just get over it, they don’t need our vote worked out for them…

    When Obama was campaigning in New Hampshire, he was contacting Odinga frequently by phone. Anyone know if the post-election Kenyan violence coincided with this? There’s a video (I believe at Canadian Free Press) that outlines the Odinga/Obama relationship and Obama’s campaigning for Odinga while Obama was on a Senate trip paid for by taxpayers to Kenya, all of the violence etc. It’s called something like “the video that could bring Obama down.”

    I don’t like this mortgage buyout idea. EVERYONES mortgage value has decreased. So the ones they want to help are the ones who shouldn’t have been allowed to have a mortgage to begin with. So they’re going to reassess their homes value to the lower price to lower their payments? What’s next, just paying the mortgage off for them?? I can see some fancy manuevering by appraisors to get the values down as far as they can get them. If these people can’t pay their mortgage, how are they going to manage property tax and upkeep? There must be a welfare program for that too.

Plus they may be able to refuse to run the ads, but they can’t stop independent journalists like Lou Dobbs from investigating the truth of them if FOX does start running them. And failing all else, the 527′s have a final recourse to reach many even those liberal elite who are to good to watch tv. Just imagine 10,000 billboards across the US displaying a headline of Rezko talks admits Obama’s role in Illinois corruption scandal! Can’t you just imagine it?

    McCain/Palin 08

    Why is it that some polls are saying that McCain is 11 points behind while others say only two? It doesn’t make any sense. I could understand a difference of 2 or 3 points between polls, but 9? Something weird is going on.

  • Angel

    Fox News host Brit Hume and correspondent Bret Baier suggested that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were heavily involved in the subprime mortgage market “years ago,” and falsely suggested that Rep. Barney Frank has opposed stricter regulation of Fannie and Freddie. Neither Hume nor Baier noted that Fannie and Freddie were not active in the subprime market in 2003, or that Frank has supported and authored bills to strengthen oversight of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

    Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Fannie was involved in sub-prime back in 2003. They were getting involved in sub-prime as early as 1999.

    Here’s a link to the September 30, 1999 article in the New York Times called “Fannie Mae Eases Credit To Aid Mortgage Lending”

    http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9c0DE7DB153EF933A0575AC0A96F958260&sec=&spon=&pagewanted=all

    Part of that article include,

    In moving, even tentatively, into this new area of lending, Fannie Mae is taking on significantly more risk, which may not pose any difficulties during flush economic times. But the government-subsidized corporation may run into trouble in an economic downturn, prompting a government rescue similar to that of the savings and loan industry in the 1980′s.

    ”From the perspective of many people, including me, this is another thrift industry growing up around us,” said Peter Wallison a resident fellow at the American Enterprise Institute. ”If they fail, the government will have to step up and bail them out the way it stepped up and bailed out the thrift industry.”

    And this,

    In July, the Department of Housing and Urban Development proposed that by the year 2001, 50 percent of Fannie Mae’s and Freddie Mac’s portfolio be made up of loans to low and moderate-income borrowers. Last year, 44 percent of the loans Fannie Mae purchased were from these groups.

    The change in policy also comes at the same time that HUD is investigating allegations of racial discrimination in the automated underwriting systems used by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to determine the credit-worthiness of credit applicants.

    With mandates that their portfolio consists of 50% of sub-prime loans by 2001, how can they support an argument that Fannie and Freddie weren’t heavily involved in sub-prime lending in 2003?

    Here’s some of the skinny on Frank:

    Frank Blocked Multiple Attempts At Reform Spanning Back To 1992:

    “[Frank's] Record Is Close To Perfect As A Stalwart Opponent Of Reforming The Two Companies, Going Back More Than A Decade. The First Concerted Push To Rein In Fan And Fred In Congress Came As Far Back As 1992, And Mr. Frank Was Right There, Standing Athwart. But Things Really Picked Up This Decade, And Barney Was There At Every Turn.” (Editorial, “Fannie Mae’s Patron Saint,” The Wall Street Journal, 9/10/08)

    “In 2000, Then-Rep. Richard Baker Proposed A Bill To Reform Fannie And Freddie’s Oversight. Mr. Frank Dismissed The Idea, Saying Concerns About The Two Were ‘Overblown’ And That There Was ‘No Federal Liability There Whatsoever.’” (Editorial, “Fannie Mae’s Patron Saint,” The Wall Street Journal, 9/10/08)

    “Two Years Later, Mr. Frank Was At It Again. ‘I Do Not Regard Fannie Mae And Freddie Mac As Problems,’ He Said In Response To Another Reform Push. And Then: ‘I Regard Them As Great Assets.’” (Editorial, “Fannie Mae’s Patron Saint,” The Wall Street Journal, 9/10/08)

    “Again In June 2003, The Favorite Of The Beltway Press Corps Assured The Public That ‘There Is No Federal Guarantee’ Of Fan And Fred Obligations.” (Editorial, “Fannie Mae’s Patron Saint,” The Wall Street Journal, 9/10/08)

    “A Month Later, Freddie Mac’s Multibillion-Dollar Accounting Scandal Broke Into The Open. But Mr. Frank Was Sanguine. ‘I Do Not Think We Are Facing Any Kind Of A Crisis,’ He Said At The Time.” (Editorial, “Fannie Mae’s Patron Saint,” The Wall Street Journal, 9/10/08)

    “Three Months Later He Repeated The Claim That Fannie And Freddie Posed No ‘Threat To The Treasury.’ Even Suggesting That Heresy, He Added, Could Become ‘A Self-Fulfilling Prophecy.’” (Editorial, “Fannie Mae’s Patron Saint,” The Wall Street Journal, 9/10/08)

    “In April 2004, Fannie Announced A Multibillion-Dollar Financial ‘Misstatement’ Of Its Own. Mr. Frank Was Back For The Defense. Fannie And Freddie Posed No Risk To Taxpayers, He Said, Adding That ‘I Think Wall Street Will Get Over It’ If The Two Collapsed.” (Editorial, “Fannie Mae’s Patron Saint,” The Wall Street Journal, 9/10/08)

    Hey, if you can’t track the FedEx number, it’s probably because the item hasn’t actually been picked up yet by them. The store probably has a “spotted” trailer outside that the store loads up and then FedEx comes by every so often to pick up the trailer. It could take a couple of days before the package gets a scan at the hub. Keep checking your tracking number. Same thing happens with packages at UPS and DHL. I used to be in the shipping industry and this is probably what happened.

    Perry, could you, like, give it a rest. Many of us here are disaffected Dems because of Hillary. We’re voting McCain/Palin this election cycle. Who knows how many of us will go back to the Dems. All I know at this point is that the Democratic Party, the Party I’ve supported and voted and contributed to all my adult life is as corrupt as the GOP. No matter how you whitewash it the Democrats are culpable in this bailout mess, just like the Republicans, only more so this time around. This election has solidified for me that we’re all Americans first and my McCain/Palin vote represents that.
