		<description>Part of the stress and anxiety caused by the market melt down is that there have been few good explanations of what went wrong.

We now know that Barney Frank, Chris Dodd and other democrats kept regulations for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mae being adopted in the interests of housing for the poor, whether they could afford to buy housing or not. 

The Wall Street part in this is explained by a former hedge fund manager, Andy Kessler, writing in this week&#039;s THE WEEKLY STANDARD. His article &quot;The Demise of a Giant Hedge Fund (that fund being Wall Street) makes great sense. 

When brokers became irrelevant to many with the advent of on-line trading which people could do themselves, Wall Street found that &quot;The one group making money were these weird guys with math Ph.D.s creating exotic securities, derivatives, pieces of paper backed by pools of assets, maybe airplane leases, or home mortgages. The neat thing about derivatives is that no one but the person who created them knows what they&#039;re worth, so you can sell them at huge markups. Woo-hoo. Mammoth departments were created all over Wall Street to securitize everything that moved. With the Fed forcing low interest rates in 2002-2004, the higher the yield the better.&quot;

Had Sarah Palin been in charge, this would never have happened because Sarah has common sense and the humility to ask questions when she doesn&#039;t understand something. No one understood derivatives, I&#039;ve known that for a long time. Finally, a wall street insider has connected the dots.</description>

		<description>Umm. Sorry. Done all that, including diversifying assets. Still feel sick to my stomach. 

Everything&#039;s down significantly--there was nowhere to hide, except cash. And a year ago with petro hyperinflation, cash looked like a loser.

Voting people out of office? The ones responsible are successfully blaming the ones who are not. Term limits are the only way forward.</description>

		<description>I read earlier this AM that BO&#039;s website is now &quot;cleaning up&quot; to get rid of the evidence they&#039;ve been lying about his association with ACORN.

He&#039;ll lie until someone produces evidence. And that&#039;s finally happened. But there&#039;s so much more the American voter needs to know.

Has America become so morally and intellectually bankrupt that this man will get elected?

God help us.</description>

		<description>The stock market is tanking in large part because the polls show BO may win this thing.

Markets do NOT like liberal Dems. 

The Dow will jump - big time - what do you want to bet, if Wall Street heard McCain with his &quot;no tax&quot; and &quot;cut spending&quot; policies were on the way.

So put your money in the market now and work to defeat BO like crazy. You&#039;ll thank yourself later.</description>

		<description>Farakhan has called Obama the Messiah. It is a penalty of death for a muslim to blasphemy the muslim faith to call a so called christian the messiah. This means that Obama is really a Muslim in christian clothing. wake up and see the pigs come home</description>

		<description>I&#039;ve felt the stress and anger, physically, for a long time, especially the past week.

Not healthy, of course.

I&#039;m very disappointed in CEO&#039;s exploiting their positions for personal gain (see esp. Franklin Raines), liars saying their banks were well capitalized days before meltdown (see WaMu CEO, an uninspiring Hank Paulson and &quot;bailout&quot;, Barney, Dodd and other Purple Dinosaurs pushing for years for standards in &quot;credit&quot; that involve no credit whatsoever...

And, (as we speak) that raunchy Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi laughing in his socks (along with other Islamist types) that our &quot;western&quot; meltdown is a thumbs up for their worldview and the Islamic financial system to replace capitalism.

I hate to give those turds ammo.

		<description>Barack Obama&#039;s Involvement with ACORN Unearthed, Missing 
Cleveland Leader ^ &#124; October 9, 2008 - 9:08pm. 

While Barack Obama&#039;s connection with the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) has not gone entirely unreported, it has not been fully explained. Most media background pieces simply note Obama&#039;s involvement in a 1995 lawsuit on behalf of ACORN. Obama&#039;s own website, as well as most major media, fail to reveal the full depth and extent of his relationship with the organization. 

Attempts to hide evidence of Obama&#039;s involvement with ACORN have included wiping the web clean of potentially damaging articles that had appeared, and were previously publicly accessible. Unfortunately, those behind the attempted cover-up failed to realize that in today&#039;s day and age, nothing disappears forever. There also exists another layer of the web, the hidden web, which is full of information included in proprietary scholarly databases where these very same &quot;missing&quot; articles can be easily uncovered. 

Obama&#039;s campaign website states: 

Fact: Barack was never an ACORN trainer and never worked for ACORN in any other capacity. 

Is that really a FACT, or just another lie? Let&#039;s take a look at a quote from a 2004 article - Case Study: Chicago- The Barack Obama Campaign - written by Toni Foulkes, a Chicago ACORN Leader, which was published in the journal Social Policy. Did we mention that Social Policy recently pulled this particular article from their website, while leaving links to all other articles up? 

&quot;Obama took the case, known as ACORN vs. Edgar (the name of the Republican governor at the time) and we won. Obama then went on to run a voter registration project with Project VOTE in 1992 that made it possible for Carol Moseley Braun to win the Senate that year. Project VOTE delivered 50,000 newly registered voters in that campaign (ACORN delivered about 5,000 of them). 

Since then, we have invited Obama to our leadership training sessions to run the session on power every year, and, as a result, many of our newly developing leaders got to know him before he ever ran for office. Thus it was natural for many of us to be active volunteers in his first campaign for STate Senate and then his failed bid for U.S. Congress in 1996. By the time he ran for U.S. Senate, we were old friends.&quot; 

Not only does Foulkes boast of Obama&#039;s ACORN leadership training, but also makes it clear that Obama&#039;s post-law school organizing of &quot;Project VOTE&quot; in 1992 was undertaken in direct partnership with ACORN. The tie between Project VOTE and ACORN is also something that Obama and others have attempted to disprove in recent weeks as ACORN has come under fire for allegations of voter registration fraud. 

As recently as March 2008, the Los Angeles Times also made reference to Barack Obama&#039;s involvement with ACORN: 

&quot;At the time, Talbot worked at the social action group ACORN and initially considered Obama a competitor. But she became so impressed with his work that she invited him to help train her staff.&quot; (LA Times, March 2, 2008) 

All this information was easily pulled up with minimal time investment. It took less than thirty minutes to find, despite attempts by some to bury the truth. If I could find this with little effort, imagine what could be dug up with a serious, in-depth investigation. Scary, isn&#039;t it? 

Nevertheless, Barack Obama&#039;s campaign website continues to lie and deny the truth about his involvement and association with ACORN. No matter how many times you say it, it does not make it true. The facts do not lie, Senator Obama. It&#039;s time to come clean and tell the truth, and it&#039;s time for the American people to demand it.</description>
