Bush tried many times to get Congress to act to prevent this. The Dems blocked him every time. McCain put in a bill to try to head this off in 2005, but the Dems stopped it. Bush and McCain did their jobs! It was the damned, greedy Dems with their hands out for campaign contributions that caused this financial mess. All they had to do was act for the good of the country, for once, instead of feathering their nests! Crooked bastards! Now, they get to determine how the bailout will be implemented. That’s why Paulson wants a blank check with no oversight, because the filthy Democratic Congress simply cannot be trusted!

Look at all the spin! Lets stop it shall we?

What McCain AND PRESIDENT Bush have stated. correctly, is that the economic indicators show a sound economy. They do, check for yourself.
That is a different thing from saying the economy is doing great or it is doing poorly. The last two are not indicators but antidotes. Stories told by individules. Those people telling the antidotes are also correct.
This seeming discrepancy is explained by a very simple fact.
In EVERY economy, there are winners and losers.
So the MSM, which is heavily in the tank for Ohhhh…….BAMA is finding the losers and presenting them as typical. This will work for a little while, but the problem is that Congress has more control over the federal budget, and therefore the national economy then the Administration does. Congress is Democratic.
The president proposes, Congress disposes.
Since anyone with a computer and a spreadsheet can load in the economic indicators from the above URL and then see EXACTLY who is responosible for the downturn in the indicators, which are in good shape despite what some people might be going thru. Any changes in the economy will just create a different set of losers.

Let’s get this into a the hands of a million citizens, regulators, legislators, and media before the day is out! Let’s make sure every Congressman and Senator’s inbox receives this at least 100 times!

I’m only a messenger. Dispute the facts if you must! Where are our regulators and who are they protecting?

Godspeed!

Freddie and Fannie used huge lobbying budgets and political contributions to keep regulators off their backs.

A group called the Center for Responsive Politics keeps track of which politicians get Fannie and Freddie political contributions. The top three U.S. senators getting big Fannie and Freddie political bucks were Democrats and No. 2 is Sen. Barack Obama.

Now remember, he’s only been in the Senate four years, but he still managed to grab the No. 2 spot ahead of John Kerry — decades in the Senate — and Chris Dodd, who is chairman of the Senate Banking Committee.

Fannie and Freddie have been creations of the congressional Democrats and the Clinton White House, designed to make mortgages available to more people and, as it turns out, some people who couldn’t afford them.

Fannie and Freddie have also been places for big Washington Democrats to go to work in the semi-private sector and pocket millions. The Clinton administration’s White House Budget Director Franklin Raines ran Fannie and collected $50 million. Jamie Gorelick — Clinton Justice Department official — worked for Fannie and took home $26 million. Big Democrat Jim Johnson, recently on Obama’s VP search committee, has hauled in millions from his Fannie Mae CEO job.

The Democrats and their media blame Bush for all things. The president does not make laws or make these chairman appointments. American voters elect these people and should expect elected officials to take responsibility and not point the finger to another elected official. The individual elected cannot say they do not take responsibility for the task they were elected. So if you keep Reid, Polosi and elect BH Obama they are very good about not knowing but acting on their ignorance.

Vote Democrat. Today’ s taxes are ‘investments’ that will pay off, and, um, then we won’t need them, ’cause people will be edjamakated in publik skools and warm and loving in public housing projects eating big blocks of government cheese and then going to mid night basketball to work off poor people fat that they get from being starved.
