Barney Frank Hit Over Boyfriend’s Fannie Mae Role

Critics are crying “conflict of interest” over Democratic Rep. Barney Frank’s live-in relationship with Fannie Mae executive Herb Moses while Frank was on the House Banking Committee.
Moses was Fannie Mae’s assistant director for product initiatives from 1991 to 1998.

He was also openly gay Frank’s live-in boyfriend during that time, while the Massachusetts lawmaker was on the committee that had jurisdiction over government-sponsored Fannie Mae, Fox News’ Bill Sammon reported.

Now that Fannie Mae is at the center of the recent financial meltdown, the relationship is coming under increased scrutiny.“It’s absolutely a conflict,” said Dan Gainor, vice president of the Business & Media Institute.

“He was voting on Fannie Mae at a time when he was involved with a Fannie Mae executive. How is that not germane? “But everyone wants to avoid it because he’s gay. It’s the quintessential double standard.”

A top Republican House aide told Fox News: “He writes housing and banking laws and his boyfriend is a top exec at a firm that stands to gain from those laws? No media ever take note?”
Frank and Moses met in 1987 and lived together in Washington, D.C., until they split up in 1998
.
National Mortgage News disclosed that Moses “helped develop many of Fannie Mae’s affordable housing and home improvement lending programs.”

Critics charge that such programs led to the mortgage meltdown and the recent government takeover of Fannie Mae, according to Fox News, which noted that Fannie Mae and its financial cousin Freddie Mac “are blamed for spreading bad mortgages throughout the private financial sector.”

In 1994, Frank thwarted efforts by President Clinton’s Department of Housing and Urban Development to impose new regulations on Fannie Mae

Jimmy Carter criticizes President Bush?

Past president Jimmy Carter emphasis on PAST has enough nerve to critique’ President George Bush on his handling of the economic crisis. The very same dementia ridden idiot from the left that told all the Islamic countries how many nuclear weapons Israel has, has chosen to shoot his mouth off about economics.

What exactly does he know about economics? This was the very same man that put us into this situation by way of the Community Reinvestment Act of 1977, the basis of the sub-prime loan failures that Obama blames on George Bush. The very same man who stood by cowering in the corner while Iran held OUR hostages. He was the one in charge on our last financial decline in the late seventies

This Idiot really has enough nerve to blame anything on anyone. Remember the Iran hostages? Remember the gasoline shortages of his administration? Maybe the younger generation doesn’t remember it, but I sure as hell do! This past president couldn’t organize a two-car funeral, but has the audacity to blame Bush for the credit problems of today.

This Idiot chose to institute “affirmative action” on the mortgage market, a political solution to a self-perceived financial problem, which in turn drove the housing market into an overly inflated basis.

His initial Act, which was later bolstered by Bill Clinton, has driven our economy into a tailspin. This is not up for debate, this is fact! Chris Dodd, Barney Frank, Maxine Waters, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Joe Biden, Barack Obama, and all the useful idiots from the leftist (socialist) agenda have chosen to participate in transference.

Obama's ACORN roots

Obama's ACORN roots

“’You’ve got only a couple thousand bucks in the bank. Your job pays you dog-food wages. Your credit history has been bent, stapled, and mutilated. You declared bankruptcy in 1989. Don’t despair: You can still buy a house.’ So began an April 1995 article in the Chicago Sun-Times that went on to direct prospective home-buyers fitting this profile to a group of far-left ‘community organizers’ called ACORN, for assistance. In retrospect, of course, encouraging customers like this to buy homes seems little short of madness. At the time, however, that 1995 Chicago newspaper article represented something of a triumph for Barack Obama. That same year, as a director at Chicago’s Woods Fund, Obama was successfully pushing for a major expansion of assistance to ACORN, and sending still more money ACORN’s way from his post as board chair of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge. Through both funding and personal-leadership training, Obama supported ACORN. And ACORN, far more than we’ve recognized up to now, had a major role in precipitating the subprime crisis... In June of 1995, President Clinton, Vice President Gore, and Secretary Cisneros announced the administration’s comprehensive new strategy for raising home-ownership in America to an all-time high. Representatives from ACORN were guests of honor at the ceremony. In his remarks, Clinton emphasized that: ‘Our homeownership strategy will not cost the taxpayers one extra cent. It will not require legislation.’ Clinton meant that informal partnerships between Fannie and Freddie and groups like ACORN would make mortgages available to customers ‘who have historically been excluded from homeownership.’ In the end of course, Clinton’s plan cost taxpayers an almost unimaginable amount of money. And it was just around the time of his 1995 announcement that the Chicago papers started encouraging bad-credit customers with ‘dog-food’ wages, little money in the bank, and even histories of bankruptcy to apply for home loans with the help of ACORN...ACORN is at the base of the whole mess... And Barack Obama cut his teeth as an organizer and politician backing up ACORN’s economic madness every step of the way.” —Stanley Kurtz

Acorn; maybe this would be a good time for them to hide their nuts

Today it was announced that a non-profit organization under the name of Acorn has participated in wide spread voter registration fraud. This organization has registered some 1.7 million new voters for this election era. Acorn aim is to register poverty and low-income people. It certainly raises eyebrows when the very states that have been labeled as “purple states” (on the borderline between candidates), have been the states where the voter fraud has been questioned.

It was widely reported this week that Acorn has participated in not only unethical practices, but also illegal ones. Multiple registrations for one person (some as many as 76 times) have shown to be a common practice on Acorn voter registrations. One voter was promised cigarettes in return for his vote, and another crack cocaine. Acorn a government subsidized, non-profit organization is reportedly using commissioned (paid per voter sign up) agents to register new voters.

When will the government prosecute and remove “non profit” status from the groups known to abuse the very morals they have been sworn to uphold? Let’s start with ACORN, and then go after the churches that preach against the country! Of course to do so challenges the very group that holds power in the country, the democrats. They are the ones who not only survive, but also thrive on the idea of anarchy. If the democrats achieve total rule in the house and the Executive branch of government, who will be left to question their motives? Maybe we as a voting body should demand that every single voter registration that Acorn signed up for this election should be null and void!

Debate: McCain vs ????????

Debate: McCain vs ????????
Kevin Bryant

As like many of you, I watched the debate last night. I don’t know if you were as much in awe of all the past presidents and presidential hopefuls that showed up as I am. I have to tell you, there were more people to show up on the Obama side during the debate than there was during the Democratic National Convention.

I know, you are all sitting there and asking yourselves if I was drunk last night or watching clips of past events. I assure you that we did in fact watch the same debate. Let me tell you how I came to the conclusion that I spelled out in my opening paragraph.

90% of Americans who watched the debate, 1st watched with their eyes, and then listened with their ears. We all saw the same thing last night, Obama on one side of the stage and McCain on the other. I’m certain that we can all agree on this. But what I heard last night was McCain on one side of the stage and a whole host of past and present political personalities on the other.

During much of the debate that covered health care, on one side you saw and heard the same old John McCain. During the primary debates, Obama stated that he wanted all Americans to be covered by government-mandated health insurance. This is not what he said last night. Instead of that Barack Obama answering the questions, there were shades of Walter Mondale, Jimmy Carter & Hillary Clinton in those responses. There was not one bit of his response that said or even sounded like the Obama that was on stage debating during the primaries.

During the debate, national security was touched on. On one side there again was John McCain. On the other side, there was not one hint of the Obama that played to the George Soros and the Moveon.org crowd that you saw during the primary debates. Instead what we got was a little bit of Bill Clinton, some Jimmy Carter, some John Kerry and even a hint or two of Ronald Reagan. Where was the Obama that stated North Korea, Iran and Syria were small countries that didn’t pose any real threat to the United States? Where was the man who said that he would eliminate all nuclear weapons including those of the United States? I didn’t see him up there…….did you?

On economic issues, it was again McCain battling on one side, but it wasn’t the primary debating Obama on the other. What I heard coming from the Obama side of the stage sounded more along the lines of both John & Robert Kennedy with again some Bill Clinton thrown into the mix.

Taxes, everyone’s favorite subject. McCain once again was McCain, saying the same old things. Now here comes present day Obama and not the one from just a few months ago. He’s not going to raise taxes on the middle class. Can this guy get it through his head that if you raise taxes on corporations, they just pass them on to the consumers? If you raise taxes on those making $250,000 a year, then you will include all those middle class individuals who have finally reached the age of 59.5, been saving all their lives and are now required to close or change their IRA’s (hello reportable income). He will repeal the Bush tax cuts…..hello increased taxes on the middle class as well as the rich. Repealing the Bush tax cut also includes bringing back the death tax which not only affects the rich and middle class, but even those who would normally have zero tax liability. Someone stuck a stupid seed in a flowerpot and up popped a blooming Obama idiot.

On specifics when questioned about Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan, we all heard the John McCain that we have all heard in the past many years. Where oh where was the white flag of surrender waving Obama from the democratic debates? I guess he stayed home and some imposter showed up sounding more like Lyndon Johnson and Teddy Roosevelt than the Barack Obama that we saw for the 16 or so months of the primaries. He sounded like Johnson in the manner that we would have never sent troops to go fight in a war that they had no business being in ala Johnson and Vietnam. The Roosevelt side came through loud and clear and he’s going to lead the charge into Afghanistan and root out and destroy the Taliban once and for all. If the Pakistanis couldn’t take care of the terrorist camps and root out Bin Ladin on their own, he would go in himself and get them. This from a man who has more disdain for the military than both Bill & Hillary Clinton combined.

So, what I learned from the debates is who these candidates really are. John McCain is still John McCain and Barack Obama is no longer filled with hatred and socialist aspirations, but instead now an experimental mental mixing of DNA from Jimmy Carter, Walter Mondale, John Kerry, Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, Lyndon Johnson, Teddy Roosevelt and I am sure that when you break it down, you will find some more past politic figures thrown into the mix. You could almost qualify him as a multi-personality schizophrenic.

The ACORN/Obama Voter Registration "Thug Thizzle"

The ACORN/Obama Voter Registration "Thug Thizzle"
by Michelle Malkin


Systemic corruption of our election process continues. Barack Obama and his old friends at ACORN and Project Vote are leading the way. This radical revolution is taking place in your backyard. And as I've reported before, this voter-fraud racket is on your dime.

On Monday, the two liberal groups announced the wrap-up of a 21-state voter registration drive targeting low-income people and minorities in battleground states including Ohio, Pennsylvania, Colorado, Florida, New Mexico and Wisconsin.
What's wrong with that? For starters, these two groups are militant partisan outfits purporting to engage in nonpartisan civic activity. And their campaign comes amid an avalanche of fresh voter-fraud allegations involving ACORN in many of those same key states.

On Tuesday, Nevada state officials raided ACORN's Las Vegas office after election authorities accused the group of submitting multiple voter registrations with fake and duplicate names.

ACORN, which receives 40 percent of its revenues from American taxpayers to pursue an aggressive welfare-state agenda, has already helped register over 1.27 million people nationwide. The rest of their funding comes from left-wing heavyweights like billionaire George Soros and the Democracy Alliance.
Project Vote, a 501(c)(3) organization, was founded by left-wing lawyer Sandy Newman to register voters in welfare offices and unemployment lines with the explicit goal of turning back the Reagan revolution.

The two groups are inextricably linked -- and at their nexus is Barack Obama.
In 1992, Newman hired Obama to lead Project Vote efforts in Illinois. The Illinois drive's motto: "It's a Power Thing."

As previously noted in this column ("The ACORN Obama Knows," June 25, 2008), Obama also trained ACORN members in Chicago. In turn, ACORN volunteers worked on his Illinois campaigns and ACORN's PAC endorsed his primary bid with full backing and muscle.

Despite his adamant denials of any association with the group (his Fight the Smears website now claims "Barack Obama never organized with ACORN"), Obama's political DNA is encoded with the ACORN agenda.

The Obama campaign's "Vote for Change" registration drive, running parallel to ACORN/Project Vote, is an all-out scramble to scrape up every last unregistered voter sympathetic to Obama's big-government vision. "Our volume," Obama campaign manager David Plouffe bragged of the voter-registration program, "will be enormous."

Quantity over quality. It's the ACORN way.

In addition to the Las Vegas raid, fraud allegations keep piling up:
Lake County, Ind., election officials this month rejected a large portion of the 5,000 registration forms ACORN turned in after conducting registration drives in the area all summer. Some vote canvassers had pulled names and addresses from telephone books and forged signatures. According to local reports, "large numbers of voter registration forms bore signatures all in the same apparent handwriting style" and "apparently the organization's canvassers broke rules to meet ACORN-set voter registration quotas to get paid." The fake registrants included dead people and underage kids.

On a conference call yesterday, GOP officials noted that up to 11,000 voter applications were no good -- tying up election officials and jeopardizing the voting rights of untold victims whose identities may have been stolen.

Last month, Milwaukee, Wis., officials discovered at least seven felons employed as voter registration workers for ACORN and another affiliated group. They also uncovered a raft of problematic voter registration cards. The state GOP accused ACORN of attempting to enroll dead, imprisoned or imaginary people to voter rolls. Fraud has plagued ACORN's Milwaukee chapter since the last election cycle.

In Florida, in Orange County alone, ACORN workers turned in multiple copycat forms for six separate voters over the summer. According to the Miami Herald, "One individual had 21 duplicate applications."

Election officials had flagged ACORN's negligent practices several months ago, but it may be too late: In Orange, Broward and Miami-Dade counties, ACORN has signed up 135,000 new voters, nearly 60 percent of them registered as Democrats that constitute a fifth of all new voters in that region.

In Ohio, large numbers of homeless people received free van and bus rides to register. Shelby Holliday, a reporter for Palestra.net, filmed ACORN shuttling prospects to the polls. She told me she spoke with one homeless woman who told her ACORN "told her who to vote for if she wanted a 'better life,' and told her not to worry about jury duty (one of the reasons this homeless woman didn't want to register) because the government probably wouldn't be able to track her down. She was registering with a temporary address."

Holliday interviewed another homeless man targeted by the registration drive who exulted that he was voting for Obama because "I want him to do his thang. You know, do his thug thizzle."

"Thug thizzle" is street slang for performing your trademark move. Obama and ACORN have practiced their thug thizzle together for years: organizing an ever-expanding community of ineligible and marginal voters to expand the Democratic power base. Rules be damned.

Do You Know the Real Barack Obama?

Do You Know the Real Barack Obama?
by Carol Platt Liebau Columnist for Townhall.com


As the 2008 presidential campaign hurtles into its final days, John McCain confronts a choice: He can either start telling the public about the real Barack Obama, or he can lose.

For much of his career, McCain has been a media darling. He could count on the press to carry his water as long as he was a “maverick” Republican, driving more conservative members of his party crazy. But as he surely knows by now, when it comes to Barack Obama and the press, all bets are off. In covering Obama, the press has adopted a “don’t ask/don’t tell” policy designed to boost the least-vetted, least-known candidate ever to seek the presidency. It isn’t by accident that the media has denied all less-than-glowing stories about Obama the kind of consistent, sustained coverage that allows them to penetrate public consciousness.

If McCain is going to have a chance at winning, he must make sure that the public becomes thoroughly acquainted with the real Barack Obama – the most radical presidential nominee ever. And because the press evidently intends to abdicate its responsibility to acquaint voters with the less-popular parts of Obama’s record, he’ll have to rely on paid advertising to do it.
For starters, McCain should consider running a series of “Did You Know” ads about Barack Obama.

He should ask voters, “Did you know that:

Barack Obama has multiple ties to those responsible for the present economic crisis?:

Franklin Raines, the immediate past CEO of Fannie Mae – who has collected a $90 million golden parachute while driving Fannie into the ground – has advised Obama on housing issues
.
Jim Johnson, yet another former Fannie Mae CEO, resigned from Obama’s vice presidential search team when it was revealed he had received a sweetheart home mortgage deal.

Despite serving in the Senate for only four years, Obama himself has been the second-largest recipient of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac largesse in the entire Congress, ahead even of former presidential candidate John Kerry, who’s spent two decades in the Senate?

Obama’s long-time political ally, radical group ACORN, played a key role in pressuring banks to offer loans to those who were unlikely to be able to pay them back. ACORN has taken credit for pressuring banks to accept undocumented income as a basis for offering loans, for offering loans without using credit scores, and for making 100% financed loans available to low-income people.

There is more, of course. Do voters know:
That, in apparent defiance of federal election law, the Obama campaign refuses to identify individual donors who have provided almost half the funds for his campaign, including obvious fakes like “Mr. Good Will” and “Mr. Doodad Pro”?

And that 11,500 donations to his campaign – totaling almost $34 million – may have come from overseas? Or that two Palestinians living in a Hamas-controlled refugee camp spent $31,300 in Obama’s online store? Who are all these people, and why won’t the Obama campaign obey the law and identify them?

That Jeremiah Wright wasn’t Obama’s first radical mentor? As a young man in Hawaii, Obama had a quasi-filial relationship with radical Frank Marshall Davis – an avowed member of the Communist Party of the USA. In fact, in his memoirs, Obama concedes that he attended “socialist conferences” and encountered Marxist literature. (Now imagine the outcry if a Republican presidential candidate had such ties to a Nazi).

That the People's Weekly World – the official newspaper of the Communist Party of the USA – has rhapsodized about Obama’s presidential campaign, calling it a "transformative candidacy that would advance progressive politics for the long term"? (Think about how the press would react if a fascist newspaper heaped such praise on McCain.)

That Obama has routinely tried to intimidate his critics into silence? His political organization spearheaded a massive campaign against a Chicago radio show that invited one of his critics to appear – even after being asked (and refusing) to send a representative to balance the program, hosted by a non-partisan University of Chicago psychology professor.

Worse, his campaign sought to chill free speech by establishing a “truth squad” of Missouri prosecutors and sheriffs, which threatened a “vigorous response” to any ad presenting information about Obama that they deemed to be “inaccurate.” And there are other examples.

That even as America struggles to “bail out” our own struggling economy, Obama backs a global bailout? His Global Poverty Initiative would assess $2500 per taxpayer, according to Investor’s Business Daily, to fund a global war on poverty administered by the UN and its agencies.

That despite touting his academic credentials as a rationale for initiating a campaign for president just two years after leaving the Illinois state legislature, Obama refuses to release either his college or his law school transcripts – just as he sought to keep records of his working relationship with former terrorist Bill Ayers on The Annenberg Challenge (a left-wing educational foundation) safely under wraps? What is it that he doesn’t want voters to know?

Repeatedly, we’ve heard the media denounce the “rumors” about Barack Obama that are, supposedly, circulated on the internet exclusively by the bigoted and the ignorant. But Americans sense that there is more to Barack Obama than they’ve been told.

Having witnessed the media’s own bias and favoritism, they’ve come to suspect – reasonably – that even if any of the rumors were true, the press might choose to conceal them until the election is safely over. What’s more, they wonder: What else is the press not telling us?

Certainly, it would be terribly wrong for John McCain to traffic in rumors. But he doesn’t need to. The truth is more than enough. There are facts that the American people deserve to know – and which the press isn’t telling them. By filling in the gaps that the media has left unmentioned, John McCain isn’t just doing himself a service. He’s doing journalists’ job for them, and allowing Americans to make an informed decision when they head to the polls next month.

Spanking that redheaded stepchild

Henry Waxman needed a scapegoat today as congress started their “place blame game.” It is a blame game now and the Democrats saw fit to grill the CEO of Lehman Bros. They asked him if his severance pay of 400 million was defensible.

They have chosen to attack the secondary targets and not the primary ones. I’d like to see a grilling of say Jimmy Carter for his role in the Community Reinvestment Act, or maybe Bill Clinton for his role in expanding Carter’s program.

Democrats see fit to place the blame on the “lack of oversight,” on the present administration, and yet the problems started with Carter. Where were the regulations on President Carter’s instituted act? Where were the regulations on the Clinton watch? President Clinton has admitted that more regulation was needed.

Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac had all the expendable money to donate to individual campaigns, how was that even allowed? Both Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae are considered as non-profit organizations and yet they are under congressional oversight. The non-profit status allowed the questionable “donations” to virtually every senator and most congressmen.

Why hasn’t Henry Waxman dragged Franklin Raines, past CEO of Fannie Mae, who collected some 240 million and then “retired early” after questionable accounting practices. His career started in the Carter Administration as an “assistant director of the White House Domestic Policy Staff from 1977 to 1979. He went on to in 1996 to join the Clinton Administration as the Director of the U.S. Office of Management and Budget, where he served until 1998. His involvement with the Democratic Party was irrefutable, and yet the democrats will NOT question his involvement or others on their part to fleece America out of BILLIONS of dollars.

John McCain and George Bush have not only many years of trying to get congress to enact more stringent laws about lending (specifically Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.) But it is also recorded that Chris Dodd and Barney Frank told the American public that “everything was ok with both institutions,” and yet here we are, bailing out 5 to 7% of bad loans that shouldn’t have been made in the first place.

We have now entered the socialistic region. When something is enacted to benefit the few, stolen from the pockets of the many. This lending crisis is what started to cause the house of cards to fall. I hope the rest of the EU is watching, because in a world economy, when one goes down we all go down, you have a President of the United States from the past who pushed a policy that has caused a backlash in your economy now. One for all, all for one………..get used to it if Barack Obama is elected, because more bad times are headed your way, and the funny part is……….you don’t even vote for him!

Do Facts Matter?

Do Facts Matter?
By Thomas Sowell




Abraham Lincoln said, "You can fool all the people some of the time and some of the people all the time, but you can't fool all the people all the time."

Unfortunately, the future of this country, as well as the fate of the Western world, depends on how many people can be fooled on election day, just a few weeks from now.
Right now, the polls indicate that a whole lot of the people are being fooled a whole lot of the time.

The current financial bailout crisis has propelled Barack Obama back into a substantial lead over John McCain— which is astonishing in view of which man and which party has had the most to do with bringing on this crisis.

It raises the question: Do facts matter? Or is Obama's rhetoric and the media's spin enough to make facts irrelevant?

Fact Number One: It was liberal Democrats, led by Senator Christopher Dodd and Congressman Barney Frank, who for years— including the present year— denied that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were taking big risks that could lead to a financial crisis.

It was Senator Dodd, Congressman Frank and other liberal Democrats who for years refused requests from the Bush administration to set up an agency to regulate Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

It was liberal Democrats, again led by Dodd and Frank, who for years pushed for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to go even further in promoting subprime mortgage loans, which are at the heart of today's financial crisis.

Alan Greenspan warned them four years ago. So did the Chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers to the President. So did Bush's Secretary of the Treasury, five years ago.

Yet, today, what are we hearing? That it was the Bush administration "right-wing ideology" of "de-regulation" that set the stage for the financial crisis. Do facts matter?We also hear that it is the free market that is to blame. But the facts show that it was the government that pressured financial institutions in general to lend to subprime borrowers, with such things as the Community Reinvestment Act and, later, threats of legal action by then Attorney General Janet Reno if the feds did not like the statistics on who was getting loans and who wasn't.
Is that the free market? Or do facts not matter?

Then there is the question of being against the "greed" of CEOs and for "the people." Franklin Raines made $90 million while he was head of Fannie Mae and mismanaging that institution into crisis.

Who in Congress defended Franklin Raines? Liberal Democrats, including Maxine Waters and the Congressional Black Caucus, at least one of whom referred to the "lynching" of Raines, as if it was racist to hold him to the same standard as white CEOs.

Even after he was deposed as head of Fannie Mae, Franklin Raines was consulted this year by the Obama campaign for his advice on housing!

The Washington Post criticized the McCain campaign for calling Raines an adviser to Obama, even though that fact was reported in the Washington Post itself on July 16th. The technicality and the spin here is that Raines is not officially listed as an adviser. But someone who advises is an adviser, whether or not his name appears on a letterhead.

The tie between Barack Obama and Franklin Raines is not all one-way. Obama has been the second-largest recipient of Fannie Mae's financial contributions, right after Senator Christopher Dodd.

But ties between Obama and Raines? Not if you read the mainstream media.
Facts don't matter much politically if they are not reported.

The media alone are not alone in keeping the facts from the public. Republicans, for reasons unknown, don't seem to know what it is to counter-attack. They deserve to lose. But the country does not deserve to be put in the hands of a glib and cocky know-it-all, who has accomplished absolutely nothing beyond the advancement of his own career with rhetoric, and who has for years allied himself with a succession of people who have openly expressed their hatred of America.

Who will you trust to protect us?

With a renewed Russian threat to assemble a new “Axis of Evil”, we have to wonder who would be the best candidate to support our country. John McCain believes in National Defense, and increasing the defense budget. After the Clinton Administration decreased our defense budget by 35% the attack on the Twin Towers happened, leaving us with a decreased capability to fight an Islamic war on many fronts. Barack Obama, on the other hand, wants us to give up our defenses while many countries seek to destroy us. He has concluded that Iran, Venezuela, North Korea, are all “small countries” and pose us no threat!

Vladimir Putin is on a course now to assemble a consortium of countries to secure Russia’s supply of oil, while in the same time strangling our country for supplies. Threats aren’t just physical, economic damage can hold us hostage too. Obama seems to have a simplistic view of foreign affairs, and that view will serve to hurt us. It wasn’t coincidence that had Russia invading Georgia, they have a pipeline of oil and they are a democracy, but of course Obama had 4 different positions on this invasion before actually deciding on anything.

Joe's nose was growing last night!

Joe Biden's 14 Lies in the Vice Presidential Debate 10/02/08

1. TAX VOTE: Biden said McCain voted “the exact same way” as Obama to increase taxes on Americans earning just $42,000, but McCain DID NOT VOTE THAT WAY.

2. AHMEDINIJAD MEETING: Joe Biden lied when he said that Barack Obama never said that he would sit down unconditionally with Mahmoud Ahmedinijad of Iran. Barack Obama did say specifically, and Joe Biden attacked him for it.

3. OFFSHORE OIL DRILLING: Biden said, “Drill we must.” But Biden has opposed offshore drilling and even compared offshore drilling to “raping” the Outer Continental Shelf.”

4. TROOP FUNDING: Joe Biden lied when he indicated that John McCain and Barack Obama voted the same way against funding the troops in the field. John McCain opposed a bill that included a timeline, that the President of the United States had already said he would veto regardless of it’s passage.

5. OPPOSING CLEAN COAL: Biden says he’s always been for clean coal, but he just told a voter that he is against clean coal and any new coal plants in America and has a record of voting against clean coal and coal in the U.S. Senate.

6. ALERNATIVE ENERGY VOTES: According to FactCheck.org, Biden is exaggerating and overstating John McCain’s record voting for alternative energy when he says he voted against it 23 times.

7. HEALTH INSURANCE: Biden falsely said McCain will raise taxes on people's health insurance coverage -- they get a tax credit to offset any tax hike. Independent fact checkers have confirmed this attack is false

8. OIL TAXES: Biden falsely said Palin supported a windfall profits tax in Alaska -- she reformed the state tax and revenue system, it's not a windfall profits tax.

9. AFGHANISTAN / GEN. MCKIERNAN COMMENTS: Biden said that top military commander in Iraq said the principles of the surge could not be applied to Afghanistan, but the commander of NATO's International Security Assistance Force Gen. David D. McKiernan said that there were principles of the surge strategy, including working with tribes, that could be applied in Afghanistan.

10. REGULATION: Biden falsely said McCain weakened regulation -- he actually called for more regulation on Fannie and Freddie.

11. IRAQ: When Joe Biden lied when he said that John McCain was “dead wrong on Iraq”, because Joe Biden shared the same vote to authorize the war and differed on the surge strategy where they John McCain has been proven right.

12. TAX INCREASES: Biden said Americans earning less than $250,000 wouldn’t see higher taxes, but the Obama-Biden tax plan would raise taxes on individuals making $200,000 or more.

13. BAILOUT: Biden said the economic rescue legislation matches the four principles that Obama laid out, but in reality it doesn’t meet two of the four principles that Obama outlined on Sept. 19, which were that it include an emergency economic stimulus package, and that it be part of “part of a globally coordinated effort with our partners in the G-20.”

14. REAGAN TAX RATES: Biden is wrong in saying that under Obama, Americans won't pay any more in taxes then they did under Reagan.

If you look at no other video this year you NEED to see this one!

This explains all the events that led up to the present financial crisis, including the PROOF! Listen to this carefully, and pause the video if you need to, it is sooooooooooooo fast!

If our country listens to the media exclusively, the whole story hasn't been told, the conservatives are working on a 20% deficit at the very LEAST!

Chris Dodd and Barney Frank caught with hands in the cookie jar

The Democrats seem to want to refuse accept responsibility in the financial failure. They claim the high ground, but their actions (Harry Reid telling McCain “we don’t need you here”) speak volumes. The Democrats seem so divisive, and want this whole debacle to slide off their backs, and yet here we have Barney Frank, the same democrat that claimed that there was nothing wrong with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, tell us what “we” have to do to fix the problem.

I’m shocked and amazed that McCain has failed to place blame where blame is due, and that he hasn’t distanced himself more from what President Bush wants to do (the same thing the dems want to do) and place all the stress on the taxpayer. Actually I’d love to see ALL the strain placed on every politician who sought to have their pockets filled with campaign graft. Is it just me who sees this campaign giving to the Senate Banking Committee as a CONFLICT OF INTEREST?

President Bush doesn’t look like a “turn coat” but more and more like a lame duck just buying his time (with our money) out of a financial jam. John McCain doesn’t agree with him on this issue as well as many others in the past, contrary to what Obama would like you to believe.

Why doesn’t McCain expose Obama’s past history in this issue? This infuriates me to see him being beaten on an issue that looks so cut and dry from the surface. I know that McCain’s campaign advisors have accepted money from Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae but that IS the job of a lobbyist! They get paid to advance an issue. Do I have a problem with the fact McCain hired them?…………Damn right I do! Did Mc Cain accept money from Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae? Yes he did, but very little.

Although neither candidate is in the banking committee, certainly the fact that Obama has taken some serious money from them erodes his credibility saying that the problems lie entirely with the present administration.

I think accountability is going to be part of this huge bailout. I’d personally like to see a public admission from Carter and Clinton (both liberal media darlings), that their political institutions of affirmative action in mortgage lending hasn’t worked, AND I’d like to see the two democratic leaders in the banking committees step down, Barney Frank (past leader) and the leader now Chris Dodd, who got a lot of money in his political campaign from Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae. While we are talking about things that will NEVER happen, let’s have EVERY politician give back every dime they accepted from both institutions, to help pay for their “oversights” read (looking the other way) on America’s best interests.

Also I’d like to ask Nancy Pelosi to keep her mouth shut if she expects the Republicans and 95 of her own Democrats to sign any kind of agreement, her opinions aren’t helpful to a quick resolution.

Obamamonopoly

Not much fun playing this game is it?

Obama is benefiting from the financial crisis, in more ways then one!

Obama has benefited from the financial crisis, swapping polling figures and for what reasoning? In 2007 alone President George Bush warned the Congress 17 times, and that doesn’t count all the years previous. In 2003 President Bush recommended an overhaul of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. A report by outside investigators in July 2003 concluded that Freddie Mac manipulated its accounting to mislead investors, and critics have said Fannie Mae does not

adequately hedge against rising interest rates.
Are they laughing at us?

House democrats had the following statements;

”These two entities — Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac — are not facing any kind of financial crisis,” said Representative Barney Frank of Massachusetts, the ranking Democrat on the Financial Services Committee. ”The more people exaggerate these problems, the more pressure there is on these companies, the less we will see in terms of affordable housing.” Representative Melvin L. Watt, Democrat of North Carolina, agreed. ”I don’t see much other than a shell game going on here, moving something from one agency to another and in the process weakening the bargaining power of poorer families and their ability to get affordable housing,” Mr. Watt said.

Senator John McCain explained his stance in early 2006 as follows;

Mr. President, this week Fannie Mae’s regulator reported that the company’s quarterly reports of profit growth over the past few years were “illusions deliberately and systematically created” by the company’s senior management, which resulted in a $10.6 billion accounting scandal. The Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight’s report goes on to say that Fannie Mae employees deliberately and intentionally manipulated financial reports to hit earnings targets in order to trigger bonuses for senior executives. In the case of Franklin Raines, Fannie Mae’s former chief executive officer, OFHEO’s report shows that over half of Mr. Raines’ compensation for the 6 years through 2003 was directly tied to meeting earnings targets. The report of financial misconduct at Fannie Mae echoes the deeply troubling $5 billion profit restatement at Freddie Mac. The OFHEO report also states that Fannie Mae used its political power to lobby Congress in an effort to interfere with the regulator’s examination of the company’s accounting problems. This report comes some weeks after Freddie Mac paid a record $3.8 million fine in a settlement with the Federal Election Commission and restated lobbying disclosure reports from 2004 to 2005. These are entities that have demonstrated over and over again that they are deeply in need of reform.
For years I have been concerned about the regulatory structure that governs Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac–known as Government-sponsored entities or GSEs–and the sheer magnitude of these companies and the role they play in the housing market. OFHEO’s report this week does nothing to ease these concerns. In fact, the report does quite the contrary. OFHEO’s report solidifies my view that the GSEs need to be reformed without delay. I join as a cosponsor of the Federal Housing Enterprise Regulatory Reform Act of 2005, S. 190, to underscore my support for quick passage of GSE regulatory reform legislation. If Congress does not act, American taxpayers will continue to be exposed to the enormous risk that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac pose to the housing market, the overall financial system, and the economy as a whole. I urge my colleagues to support swift action on this GSE reform legislation.
The Democrats killed this measure in Committee preventing the full Senate Vote.
As you can see from the articles, President Bush and Senator McCain were over- ridden by house democrats, and yet the democrats are the ones who are benefiting?

Barack Obama is relying on the fact that voters in America are stupid! He relies on the fact that we can’t research all the facts of his involvement, while all the time thumbing his nose at the Republicans.

If I were a senator I'd be demanding the removal of Chris Dodd and Barney Frank as part of the bail out, the head people who said there was NO problem..........leave them in?........when can it happen again?

Burning down the House: what really caused the housing crisis

In the words of Pastor Jeremiah Wright......." the chickens have come home to roost!"

Bumbling Joe and his economic plan,……….. god help us!

“Joe Biden isn’t backing down from his startling claim last week that raising taxes on the rich is the ‘patriotic’ thing to do. [In fact,] he upped the ante, thundering that he also has Jesus in his corner. ‘Catholic social doctrine as I was taught it is, you take care of people who need the help the most,’ Mr. Biden preached to a group of union supporters... We won’t get into a theological debate with Mr. Biden, except to say that Biblical tax rates tended to run around 10%, not the 39.6%-plus that Barack Obama’s tax plan calls for. As for patriotism, maybe the young Joe Biden missed school the day the Boston Tea Party was being taught. There’s also the point that if you want to finance a war, you need a strong enough economy to throw off the tax revenues to pay for it. As we learned in the 1980s under Reagan, lower taxes that help an economy grow can finance a defense buildup that helps win the Cold War. By that standard, cuts in marginal income tax rates deserve to be called patriotic. Regarding taxes and social justice, the issue is whether the high taxes that Mr. Biden favors promote economic growth and prosperity, not least for America’s poorest citizens. There he doesn’t have evidence on his side. Studies from around the world, including the annual Wall Street Journal-Heritage Foundation Index of Economic Freedom, conclusively indicate that countries that keep taxes low tend to have the least amount of poverty. As for fairness, we’d note that today the top 1% of taxpayers pay twice as large a share of income taxes (39%) at a 35% rate than they did in 1980, when they were taxed at a rate of 70% yet paid only 19% of income taxes. In that sense, the tax code is more ‘progressive’ now. By the way, Mr. Biden and his wife recently released their tax returns, and they reported an average of $380, or 0.2% of their income, in annual charitable contributions over a 10-year period. The national average was about 2% of income.” —The Wall Street Journal

Joe Biden does it AGAIN!

With the ugliness of a financial crisis looming, and the actions that seem to be bi-partisan so far for the common good of our country. Leave it to Joe Biden, voted second largest “windbag” of the senate, by his peers, to climb over the dead bodies in the wake to grab all the money he can. It appears Senator Biden ignored all pleas to not have any earmarks until we are finished with the bailout. He brazenly requested 51.5 million dollars for his home state of Delaware, while the country hangs in the balance. Evidently HE has no problem multi-tasking, does he really see this as an opportunity to make money for his state, while voting for the bail out?

People need to wake up when blatant actions like this happen and get brushed under the carpet.

Gaffees this week by the Senator from Delaware

“I guarantee you Barack Obama ain’t taking my shotguns, so don’t buy that malarkey... If he tries to fool with my Beretta, he’s got a problem.” —Joe Biden on Obama, who recently said, “Even if I want to take them away, I don’t have the votes in Congress.”

“I am so sick and tired of this phoniness. The truth of the matter is that we are in trouble, and the people who do not need new tax cuts should be willing as patriotic Americans to understand the way to get this economy back up on their feet is to give middle class taxpayers a break.” —Joe Biden, defending his patriotic tax remarks from last week.

“When the stock market crashed, Franklin Roosevelt got on television...” —Joe Biden **Uh, Joe, Roosevelt wasn’t president in 1929 and TV’s weren’t commercially available until the late 1930s.

Letter to the Editor, Wall Street Journal

Letter to the Editor, Wall Street Journal

by Q.D. Thompson

                                            
Dear Editor:

As a retired U.S. Naval Reserve Officer who served eight years of active duty, five during WWII and then recalled for three more years during the Korean Conflict, it was heart-sickening

to read the Wall Street Journal (no doubt the fairest and most balanced newspaper in the country) editorial, "No Vote for the Troops", Sept. 20-21, '08. It is quite evident the reputation of the 2007-08 do nothing Congress with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and Speaker Nancy Pelosi leading the charge continues to enhance this reputation by their negative actions which definitely reflect their self-center political hopes and desires that the U.S. will fail in their engagement in Iraq in order to strengthen their position with the public and to block a vote on a bipartisan resolution "recognizing the strategic success of the troops in Iraq" and thanking our men and women in uniform for their efforts.

For their selfish short-sighted leadership and their failure to support all phases of this world conflict, as was needed in order to win WWI & WWII, to guarantee success for our survival, Senator Reid and Speaker Pelosi, who seems incapable of putting two comprehensive sentences together, should be indicted as traitors to their country and brought to trial.

Something needs to be done immediately to entice all of our politicians to work in concert to assure the salvation of our civilization.

Quinton D. Thompson

Is it a shock that we lose business abroad?

It has been the “catch phrase” in America to label us as hip and declare with open arms a WORLD ECONOMY! What we don’t understand is as our own inflationary country; any country that has a similar economy is at a disadvantage. Disadvantage you say? Of course we are, as inflationary influences, (i.e. oil prices, that affect every product we sell, minimum wage increases, increased social –programs, wasteful earmarks, mortgage company bailouts, etc.), drive up our cost of doing business. If a third world nation can introduce a college graduate into the business world who is used to making say $2000 a year, and if his quality of education is higher then a fresh out of college student from America, wouldn’t a company be crazy NOT to hire the student who will work for less?

We have this grandiose idea that we are the most intelligent, best-educated country in the world, when in fact that is NOT true. When say a communist country like China sends a child to school, they do so 14 hours a day, 7 days a week, year round. When they graduate from High School they have to go through testing for DAYS to find the brightest, most intelligent stars, to see who goes to college. Yes the government pays it for, but THEY chose who goes on.

We have increased our bottom line or if you would like to call it “our cost of doing business” to the point that we are now a non-competitive country in which to do business. We charge companies the second highest taxes in the WORLD! Does this shock you? Does this scare you? It should, because we have allowed it. Every time a senator gets an “earmark” for a million dollars, where do you think it comes from? Yes it comes from us but……….it adds once again to the bottom line of the cost of doing business, putting us that much farther in the hole. Are the inflated salaries of the workers in our country and the bottom line of doing business conducive to a successful world economy?

Spinning silk from a sow’s ear

If anyone had a question about what the Democratic Party stands for, it was most assuredly answered during the Democratic National Convention in Denver. If a party was campaigning on “Change,” why would they ever parade shamed Presidents of the past? President Carter, who most recently traveled to meet Hamas and divulge the secrets of how many nuclear weapons Israel has, or maybe President Bill Clinton, only the second President to be impeached in American history. Clinton blamed all the obvious problems of today on President Bush, even though he had a personal hand in at least 6 of the things he blamed Bush for, but once a liar always a liar. The lead off speech by Nancy Pelosi, talking head of the House of Representatives, that almost put everyone to sleep. Al Gore, the self- professed global warming expert who has no scientific credentials. John Kerry, Mr. Swift boat himself, who conducted treasonous, acts against the Viet Nam war. Howard Dean, the screaming idiot of the party. Ted Kennedy, who appeared to receive recognition of his years in service in the Senate. Joe Biden, the newly named Vice Presidential pick, and the source of all new comedy material for late night show hosts, for his numerous verbal gaffes.



If the purpose of the convention was to congratulate each other on failed policies, and appeal to the dissatisfaction of their members, it was certainly an overwhelming success. If the purpose was to attack the Republicans and offer hope for the future, with logical and specific ideas then it was a resounding flop.



No “change” was shown to me, just looks like more of the same, just in a different wrapper.

More lies from the liberals

I received this email from a democrat, as did a lot of my friends. I don't know why it inflamed me the way it did, but I researched every false claim and fired it right back at the sender, you have my permission to do the same when it is sent to you. The original email is in normal type while my replies are in red and italics.........





OK......How bad does it have to get before we see the light?????????????



I ' m a little confused. Let me see if I have this straight.....



If you grow up in Hawaii , raised by your grandparents, you're

"exotic, different."

However, grow up in Alaska eating mooseburgers, you're a quintessential American story.



Two entirely different stories, Obama himself was the one who has labeled himself “exotic and different” Remember the comment about the pictures on the treasury bills? I can find that video if you would like. Nobody that I’m aware of labeled the Palin Family as “quintessential” unless you are including this letter of course.



If your name is Barack you're a radical, unpatriotic "Muslim" (who, by the way, is a Christian).

However, name your kids Willow , Trig and Track, you're a "maverick".

Graduate from Harvard law School and you are unstable.

However, attend 5 different small colleges before graduating, you're well grounded.



Barack is a derivative of an Arabic word Barik. We know he’s a Christian by the way! The next comment is pretty offensive, just because the Palin’s haven’t named their children “conventional names” you consider then mavericks. What does that say about Obama’s parents who named him Barack? The next statement goes on the assumption that Obama attended only Harvard. He attended Occidental College, Columbia University, and THEN Harvard. So in your line of reasoning, You see Obama more grounded because he attended two less schools of higher learning? Senator John McCain attended 20 some schools in his youth, does that make him somehow more uneducated?





If you spend 3 years as a brilliant community organizer,



Let’s dissect your claim; better still let’s use Obama’s own words and the people who worked with him:

According to Mike Kruglik, a fellow organizer at that time, Obama was the best student he had ever had in his 10 years of training organizers. "He was a natural, the undisputed master of agitation, who could engage a room full of recruiting targets in a rapid-fire Socratic dialogue, nudging them to admit that they were not living up to their own standards. He could be aggressive and confrontational. With probing, sometimes personal questions, he would pinpoint the source of pain in their lives, tearing down their egos just enough before dangling a carrot of hope that they could make things better." Although being involved in the Developing Communities Project as President, Obama admits in a 2007 inverview that, “"For the most part I would say I wasn’t wildly successful," The victories that we achieved were extraordinarily modest: you know, getting a job-training site set up or getting an after-school program for young people put in place." Obama was also involved in a group called Gamaliel Foundation which, provides training and consultation and develops national strategy for its affiliated congregation-based community organizations.













become the first black President of the Harvard Law Review, create a voter registration drive that registers 150,000 new voters



These statements are true….



12 years as a Constitutional Law Professor,

Not true I’m afraid, he did work 12 years for the University of Chicago Law School, but this is where the truth ends. Of his teachings in law, in only one class did he teach anything relating to “constitutional law”. The New York Times reported his classes as such:



“According to research conducted by the New York Times and published on July 30, 2008, Obama is described as having taught three courses. These included a Voting Rights class which, "traced the evolution of election law, from the disenfranchisement of blacks to contemporary debates over districting and campaign finance...he taught districting as a racially fraught study in how power is secured." He also taught a class on Due Process and Equal Protection and, "His most original course, a historical and political seminar as much as a legal one, was on racism and law."





His title was not professor but that of “Senior Lecturer,” he was however offered a professorship to keep him from Leaving the University of Chicago Law School after his first run for state congress after his 2 to 1 loss.



spend 8 years as a State Senator representing a district with


over 750,000 people,



True



become chairman of the state Senate's Health and

Human Services committee,



True, but his two terms in the state senate were far from illustrious, as he was only personally responsible for 3 pieces of legislature, racial profiling guidelines, video taping of homicide suspects, and death penalty reform. In reality, Barack Obama was just 1 of 59 State senators in Illinois, a rather small fish in a big pond.



spend 4 years in the United States Senate representing

a state of 13 million people while sponsoring 131 bills and serving on the

Foreign Affairs, Environment and Public Works and Veteran's Affairs

Committees, you don't have any real leadership experience.


In Senator Obama’s first two years in the US Senate he had the ability to vote on 200 bills before him.This caring individual, a self- appointed spokesman for the “little guy”, and the downtrodden has had been recorded as a NO VOTE 143 times. So important was this position to him, and yet he was either absent or it was his choice not to vote 71.5% of the time,thereby shirking his responsibility of the job he has been paid to do. In a move of arrogance, he has chosen to introduce or co-introduce 573 bills of his own, showing that he believes his legislation to be more important then any one else’s. Senator Obama was “installed” in these committees by powerful Democratic leaders to groom him for his run for the Presidency; personally I’d like to see how many meeting of these committees he actually attended. The population of Illinois is 12,419,293, so again an exaggeratation, divide that in half because Illinois has two US Senators, and we see he now speaks for 6,200,000 people and not 13 million.

However, if your total resume is: local weather girl,


This statement has been made to belittle Sarah Palin’s journalism degree; unfortunately this is where most in TV start. I'm sure Obama didn't start trying cases when he first started with his law firm.

4 years on the city


council and 6 years as the mayor of a town with less than 7,000 people,


Wassilla, AK has a population of 9780 people, and this minimalistic statement does come close to describing her total single handed commitment to ridding her state of corruption by her own party.


20 months as the governor of a state with only 650,000 people, then you're

qualified to become the country's second highest ranking executive and next in

line behind a man in his eighth decade of life.

Hardly worth replying to

If you have been married to the same woman for 19 years while raising

2 daughters, all within Protestant churches, you're not a real

Christian.


John McCain has now been married to Cindy McCain for 28 years, and have adopted 7 children from different nationalities, all with physical disabilities, showing their “deeds by example” of their pro-life, pro-humanity stance. Being Protestant certainly doesn’t give you the moral high ground. Alliance to the Trinity United Church of Christ is at this point a totally indefensible position; let’s not EVEN venture there!


However, if you cheated on your first wife with a rich heiress, and then left

your disfigured wife and married the heiress the next month, you're a

true Christian.


McCain’s extra-marital affair wasn’t with his now wife Cindy, and as reported he had an affair in 1976 and didn’t meet Cindy until 1979. McCain’s “disfigured wife” was actually diagnosed as disabled, and got that way from a car accident in 1969 (while McCain was a POW) to which, The settlement included two houses, and financial support for her ongoing medical treatments due to her 1969 car accident; they would remain on good terms. John McCain remains a Southern Baptist, much the same as Bill Clinton does.


If you teach responsible, age appropriate sex education, including


the proper use of birth control, you are eroding the fiber of society.


When questioned about age appropriate, Obama replied that it would include younger children, the interviewer asked “kindergarten?” He laughed at first but then said he wouldn’t take anything off the table, non-committal to say the least.


However, if, while governor, you staunchly advocate abstinence only, with no

other option in sex education in your state's school system while your

unwed teen daughter ends up pregnant, you're very responsible

This is untrue, she is Christian and pro-life, but also a supporter of birth control: she's a member of Feminists For Life (FFL), an anti-abortion, pro-contraception organization. In 2002, she wrote a letter to FFL stating that she had "adamantly supported our cause since I first understood, as a child, the atrocity of abortion." She supports the teaching of creationism in public schools, alongside evolution.


If your wife is a Harvard graduate lawyer who gave up a position in

a prestigious law firm to work for the betterment of her inner city

community, then gave that up to raise a family, your family's values

don't represent America 's.


In 2002, Michelle began working for the University of Chicago Hospitals, first as executive director for community affairs and, beginning May, 2005, as Vice President for Community and External Affairs. She still holds the position, though she is working part time in order to devote more time to being a mother.Just a few months before he joined the presidential race, Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) co-sponsored a little-noticed proposal to require the Pentagon to spend $2 million on brain trauma research for soldiers wounded in Iraq and Afghanistan. The beneficiary of the Aug. 2, 2006, earmark from him and Sen. Richard J. Durbin (D-Ill.) was undeniably close to home: the University of Chicago, where his wife, Michelle, worked as the university hospital's vice president for community and external affairs. According to NPR, Michelle Obama was promoted to a vice president at the University of Chicago Hospitals; her salary nearly tripled, from $122,000 to $316,000 a year for a part time job. I’ve never know ANYONE who gets that much money for a part time job but I would suppose that once a person gets that sort of raise I believe she can “donate her time” to worthwhile projects. To be honest what does this have to do with anything? She isn’t running for office right?





However, if your husband is nicknamed "First Dude", with at least one DWI


conviction and no college education

At LEAST? Todd Palin had one DWI conviction, and spent more time in jail for that violation then Edward Kennedy did for his responsibility in death of Mary Jo Kopechne. Todd Palin did take college courses but never graduated with a degree. Barack Obama's father died from a car accident while driving drunk.


who didn't register to vote until age 25 and once was a member of a group that advocated the secession of Alaska from the USA


From 1995 to 2002 he was registered to vote as a member of the Alaskan Independence Party.Yes the AIPwhen first started avocated Cessation from the US but that was in 1958, long before Todd palin was even born. Now the party is a viable third party with real candidates, and values. Since that time Todd has registered as “uncommited.” And this man is running for what office?


your family is extremely admirable.

In my own opinion, Barack Obama, his wife, his family, or his campaign, have shown me nothing to be admired. His arrogant conceited books show me nothing but contempt for the very country he says he loves, but has shown no proof to that effect. His career has been constructed entirely around this run for the Presidency that he is involved in right now. His actions show the true “Audacity of HIS Hope,” and not his dream for America’s hope or future.


OK, much clearer now.


Actually once we have the FACTS things become clearer still! Anyone with a computer can verify what I have through, Wikipedia, and all the normal news sources. The problem with America is that not many take the time to do it, and trash emails like this continue to circulate, that is why this needed to be nipped in the bud!


If anyone wishes to ask for resources on any of my rebuttal info I will gladly comply just email me directly, unlike the person that made all these wild claims, and outright lies.




acrittersr@verizon.net

Only his supporters believe his words aren’t mean spirited.

Obama’s latest mean spirited jabs at the McCain/ Palin show his frustration at a campaign that is faltering. Who other then his true blue supporters believe that the “lipstick on the pig” comment wasn’t aimed at Sarah Palin, and the “stinking fish” comment wasn’t aimed at McCain? Then he tried to turn the whole thing around by accusing McCain of “swift boating” him, and refusing to associate the comments to people and to only the administration.



The very fact that Palin used the word lipstick in her speech at the RNC convention, and the very fact that Obama picked that word to use in the same sentence with the word pig, is way too much of a coincidence to be a non-intended analogy.



Obama then put out an ad stating that John McCain is out of touch because he doesn’t use a computer, or even how to send an email. Obama’s campaign knows about his time as a POW, and they also know that his Viet Nam captors tortured him to the point of tearing his shoulder joints up so badly, that he can’t even raise his arms past mid body. He has never been able to type because of his physical limits, so why would he need to know how to email? So Obama makes the connection of a physical disability to “being out of touch” with society? Bill Clinton, nor Hillary Clinton know how to type, did that keep him from becoming President or her from running?



They clearly know what they are doing, and yet continue to hit below the belt. Clearly it shows that the Obama campaign is in frustration mode, and is lashing out at anything he can, even to the point of looking like the schoolyard bully!


Even Senator Biden said the ad about McCain not knowing how to type was horrible, and if he had anything to do with it, the ad wouldn't have run. Interestingly after a period of a few hours Senator Obama's must have reminded Sen Biden that he is only along for the ride and he need to recant his earlier statement, toy which he said......."Well I haven't actually seen the ad"..........Nice Gaffee Joe! anything else you would like to tell us? Oh...other then asking that man in the wheelchair to stand up and be recognized.......once again, good move Joe! Your replacement is reportedly waiting in the wings
