Progressive Democrats: Enablers and Liars

Three Sources: One Admission.

Senate Swines Gorging at the Pork Trough: KILL THE BILL

You probably know by now that the monstrosity that the Senate whores passed last night is far worse than the first one. I guess that bill only served to whet their appetites for more. And if this bastard of a bill passes the House, more is what they’ll get.

But you, if you are hard working American who has foolishly paid your bills and maintained your credit for your entire life? You? You are going to be getting it in your nether regions.

There are too many bloggers far more qualified than I to go into the details, details that will horrify you, sicken you. Details that you’ll be able to do little about.

Energy? Sure, there is pork for energy, but not drilling. Not nuclear. God forbid that we strengthen our country, bring down the cost of living and employ millions with honest labor by building the means to energy independence. Hell, that might disturb some freaking snails and god damn polar bears. Here are some provisions that caught my attention, from A Blog For All:

Sec. 101. Renewable energy credit.
Sec. 102. Production credit for electricity produced from marine renewables.
Sec. 103. Energy credit.
Sec. 104. Energy credit for small wind property.
Sec. 105. Energy credit for geothermal heat pump systems.
Sec. 106. Credit for residential energy efficient property.
Sec. 107. New clean renewable energy bonds.

Sec. 201. Inclusion of cellulosic biofuel in bonus depreciation for biomass ethanol
plant property.
Sec. 202. Credits for biodiesel and renewable diesel.
Sec. 203. Clarification that credits for fuel are designed to provide an incentive
for United States production.
Sec. 204. Extension and modification of alternative fuel credit.
Sec. 205. Credit for new qualified plug-in electric drive motor vehicles.
Sec. 206. Exclusion from heavy truck tax for idling reduction units and advanced
insulation.
Sec. 207. Alternative fuel vehicle refueling property credit.
Sec. 208. Certain income and gains relating to alcohol fuels and mixtures, biodiesel
fuels and mixtures, and alternative fuels and mixtures
treated as qualifying income for publicly traded partnerships.
Sec. 211. Transportation fringe benefit to bicycle commuters.
Sec. 301. Qualified energy conservation bonds.
Sec. 302. Credit for nonbusiness energy property.
Sec. 303. Energy efficient commercial buildings deduction.
Sec. 304. New energy efficient home credit.
Sec. 305. Modifications of energy efficient appliance credit for appliances produced
after 2007.
Sec. 307. Qualified green building and sustainable design projects.
Sec. 308. Special depreciation allowance for certain reuse and recycling property.

See anything in there about oil? Nope, but hey! There is pork included for the mentally ill, and a damn good thing because that is what most of us who love America are going to be.

There’s also the Subtitle B—Paul Wellstone and Pete Domenici Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act of 2008.

Yeah, I feel much better now that I know that addicts are going to be provided for. Maybe they’ll start putting these miscreants in the foreclosed houses that will be sitting empty. I’m just waiting to hear one of these poverty pimps suggest that. So picture that nice, foreclosed, four bedroom colonial sitting, empty, next to your – now devalued – home being turned over to some pooooooor people who have never earned a freaking dime in their life, because it’s all about them you know. Just ask Acorn graduate Obama who must be having wet dreams over this turn of events.

And screw McCain who put his name to this travesty. I have little love for the man anyway, but it seems he left his powder and his balls in Viet Nam, because he ain’t defending American ideals now. What an opportunity for him to say that it is just these types of “progressive” policies that Barack Obama advocates that brought us to this juncture. What an opportunity for him to ask Obama and his band of advising thieves for a show of the dirty hands that they have had in the Fannie Mae pie for over a decade.

What an opportunity, for a real American with a pair of balls to say, enough already.

But it seems we have few real Americans in Washington, Just the spiritually emasculated and the character deprived clowns who are wiping the back of their hands across their greasy, greedy mouths as they feast on the carcass of America.

The whole idea behind this Marxist nightmare is to redistribute the wealth.

In his Communist Manifesto, published in 1848, Karl Marx proposed 10 measures to be implemented after the proletariat takes power, with the aim of centralizing all instruments of production in the hands of the state. Proposal Number Five was to bring about the “centralization of credit in the banks of the state, by means of a national bank with state capital and an exclusive monopoly.”
If he were to rise from the dead today, Marx might be delighted to discover that most economists and financial commentators, including many who claim to favour the free market, agree with him.
Indeed, analysts at the Heritage and Cato Institute, and commentators in The Wall Street Journal and on this very page, have made declarations in favour of the massive “injection of liquidities” engineered by central banks in recent months, the government takeover of giant financial institutions, as well as the still stalled US$700-billion bailout package. Some of the same voices were calling for similar interventions following the burst of the dot-com bubble in 2001.
“Whatever happened to the modern followers of my free-market opponents?” Marx would likely wonder.

Burning Down The House:The Video Obama’s Minions Keep Trying to Ban

Update: The creator of Burning Down the House has the video back up (below).

This is the version a commenter indicates that he wishes disseminated. (I have downloaded this one too, just in case it disappears).

Barack Obama and Democrats Are Lying Their Fannie Asses Off

Covering Your Fannie, Who Really Caused Our Economic Crisis?

Speaker Pelosi’s Partisan Speech From Well Of House

Socialist Slut Pelosi

Speaker Pelosi’s Partisan Speech From The Well Of The House Of Representatives Attacking Republicans Turned Off Potential Republican Votes. “Opponents said part of the reason for the opposition from Republicans was what they termed a partisan speech by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, said one GOP source. ‘Pelosi’s partisan speech has caused our members to go berserk and may cost us any remaining chance to pass the bill,’ the source said. Pelosi had said that Congress needed to pass the bill, even though it was an outgrowth of the ‘failed economic policies’ of the last eight years. ‘When was the last time someone asked you for $700 billion?’ she asked. ‘It is a number that is staggering, but tells us only the costs of the Bush administration’s failed economic policies — policies built on budgetary recklessness, on an anything goes mentality, with no regulation, no supervision, and no discipline in the system.’” (“House Defeats Wall Street Bailout Bill,” FoxNews.com, 9/29/08)

– Timeline shows Bush, McCain warning Dems of financial mess.

My Advice to Republicans: Don’t Vote on the Bill Until we Have a New Speaker

Just a year ago she was begging to shove more crap loans down the american taxpayer’s throats.

Here’s her friends Chuckie Schumer and Barney Frank trying to lower lending standards on homes costing nearly half a million dollars — yes we should give half million dollar homes to people not worthy of credit Chuck & Barney, I mean the taxpayers are always willing to take it up the bum from Dems in congress right?:

Schumer and other Democrats have called on the Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight to relax government restraints barring Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac from buying home loans exceeding $417,000 and from expanding their assets.

The senator introduced legislation last month to let Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac temporarily increase their mortgage portfolios by 10 percent. The bill would also allow the companies to buy loans in “high-cost areas” where values are 50 percent higher than the current $417,000 cap.

U.S. Representative Barney Frank, chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, said Congress would pursue “sensible regulation” to restore investor confidence in the mortgage markets. Frank, a Massachusetts Democrat, said he wants to meet with mortgage lenders to urge them to help borrowers refinance.

“We need the people who hold the paper to be more flexible,” Frank said.

Where Barack Obama and Democrats Are Concerned,Truth Doesn’t Matter

Richard at Hyscience asks:

Isn’t it about time the McCain camp follows through with where this ad began, and floods the airways and Internet with the truth about Barack Obama?

If this video is any indication of what the McCain camp is shooting with, I’d have to say that we will see not much in the of way of decimating artillery from the McCain camp. So I end up returning to my original fear regarding McCain – that he never intended to win this thing. The blood from this financial slaughter is all over the Democrats, including on Obama’s hands. And so far, McCain has wasted every opportunity to expose the lies tripping off of Obama’s lips. He has wasted a prime opportunity to knock Obama out of the race- this housing debacle an incontrovertible indictment of the socialist progressive policies that have brought us to this end.

An irrefutable dissection of the Democratic creation of this social engineering housing monster can be had in reading Doug Ross’s The Fannie Mae testimony that will make you scream in anger . It begins….

In 1997 President Clinton’s HUD secretary, a man named Andrew Cuomo, claimed Fannie Mae had exhibited “racial discrimination” and proposed that 50 percent of the GSEs’ (Fannie and Freddie) loan portfolio be made up of loans to low- and moderate-income borrowers by 2001.

Wayne Barrett at the Village Voice:

[Clinton appointee] Andrew Cuomo… made a series of decisions between 1997 and 2001 that gave birth to the country’s current crisis. He took actions that… helped plunge Fannie and Freddie into the subprime markets without putting in place the means to monitor their increasingly risky investments. He turned the Federal Housing Administration…into a sweetheart lender with sky-high loan ceilings and no money down, and he legalized what a federal judge has branded “kickbacks” to brokers that have fueled the sale of overpriced and unsupportable loans. Three to four million families are now facing foreclosure, and Cuomo is one of the reasons why.

[...]

This week even ex-President Clinton admitted that the Democrats were guilty of destroying Fannie and Freddie… and responsible for the current crisis that threatens to bring the entire U.S. economy to the brink of recession: I think that the responsibility that the Democrats have may rest more in resisting any efforts by the Republicans and the Congress or by me when I was President to put some standards and tighten up a little on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

And David Yeagley paints the picture  of the “race” engine propelling this election in all it’s Marxist, class warfare glory. Using the cudgel of “race” and “poverty”, banks were forced to give credit where no credit was deserved. There is no “right” to home ownership, but in the world of progressives, rights have been redefined to serve their agenda of bringing America to her knees.
(my bold)

Weak White Communists

The Obamas represent racial manipulation, not unity, not harmony, and not equality. Just manipulation for power. This is the result of, not white guilt, but weak white Communists who cannot themselves achieve power or control. They are beaten by the better whites. They are driven to appeal to the darks, the non-whites. This is their only hope. It is about numbers. They must unite all non-whites of the world on a platform of racial unity.

It does not appear that this juvenile, base racial approach is going to change. (There is absolutely no change in, about, from, or through, the Obamas–unless it’s change for the worse.) The media is the right arm of the race campaign. Race well suits the cause of breaking down America into a Third World warehouse. The Clintons ignited that cause two decades ago. The current race rage only further enflames the purpose. In the name of equality, a fringe foreigner Negro, and an American Negro, simply must have the presidency. It isn’t about leadership (unless we mean leading American down). It isn’t about the nation. It is about the personal vindication of Barack and Michelle Obama, and all they represent.

The presidency as justifiaction. The White House as vindication. That’s what this has become. It has nothing to do with our dear and beloved country, America. It has only to do with Barack and Michelle Obama, and their personal problems. This is the trend Bill Clinton set back in 1993. This is the Democrat philosophy. The poor man deserves the highest honors–by virtue of his poverty alone. In the case of the Obamas, the black race deserves the throne, by virtue of their blackness, alone. The success of the Obamas will demonstrate above all, not the desirability of the black race, but the opposite.

This is the formula for the downfall of the nation. It is approaching full swing.

It is as if America has become possessed by the spirit of the flat earth society. As Stop the ACLU so painfully articulates below, it matters little what revelations are  bought forward about Obama, the media will ignore them all while endlessly repeating the steady stream of lies coming from the Obama camp.

According to the latest (9/28) Rasmussen Poll, Barack Hussein Obama now enjoys a 57% approval rating among American voters. What does this mean? It means that those Friday night debates didn’t change a thing. It means that no matter how poorly Barack Obama acquitted himself that night it makes no difference. That revealing “America is the greatest nation in the world, BUT…” statement doesn’t matter. That embarrassing soldier’s bracelet gaff doesn’t matter. His recently exposed contemptuous betrayal of our courageous military in Iraq by his behind-the-scenes attempts to manipulate our troop withdrawals for his own selfish political agenda doesn’t matter. Rezko doesn’t matter. His undeniable twenty year relationship with Reverend “Goddamn America” Wright doesn’t matter. His angry militant anti-white America wife’s outrageous admission that for the first time in her lifetime she is “finally proud to be an American” doesn’t matter. His suspicious ties to Islamists and Muslims don’t matter.

Don’t you see? None of it matters. He is as impervious to stain as OJ Simpson was impervious to justice.

There are no present or future revelations, no matter how powerful, no matter how damning, that will derail this speeding train. 57% of America approves. 57% of America has spoken, and they have said that nothing, absolutely nothing that we have uncovered, or may uncover in the future, makes a damn bit of difference to them. 57% of America will not be dissuaded from their choice. 57% of America approves.

Why the Debates Don’t Matter : Stop The ACLU

Melanie Phillips writes along similar lines.

Barack Obama appears to sit on a nexus between Marxist revolutionary activists, unrepentant former terrorists, Black Power racists, Chicago mobsters – oh, and a Saudi who is trying to buy up America. If you were to turn up at US immigration control with a background of such associates, it’s a fair bet they wouldn’t let you off the air-bridge. Yet this man may well become President of the US! If any other candidate had had merely a fleeting relationship with William Ayers, his candidacy would have been terminated before it was even articulated — let alone what we now know about Obama’s key role in Ayers’s CAC and its funding of radical groups; let alone the fact that Obama had been mentored during his formative years by a Communist Party plant; let alone his work for organisations modelled on the seditious philosophy of Saul Alinsky; let alone his two-decade membership of a Black Power church; let alone his relationship with fraudster Tony Rezko.

And yet despite all of this, virtually no-one in the mainstream media is asking any questions. Has there ever been a more staggering, surreal and scary race to the White House?
(Source)

And Bush continues to put nails in the conservative  coffin, his performance during this nightmare has been abysmal, cowardly, a final betrayal to the party he has all but destroyed. Back in August I wrote…

It is almost as if Bush is punting this country for Obama’s team to take it all the way over the edge.
PEPFAR (President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief), Bush’s bloated legislation that will bleed Americans in excess of 50 billion dollars, is a small part of his legacy, and his treachery.

Do be cognizant that this debt to which we have now been made party to, is in addition to the other billion dollar promises winging about out there, such as the 50 billion dollar PEPFAR referred to above. And you need also to keep in mind the future plundering to be exacted upon your shrinking worth by Obama’s Global Poverty Tax.
One blogger says that the national debt is now…

$11,315,000,000,000… with the population of the United States of America at 301,139,947, we are looking at each person owing $37, 573.90.

I went on to conclude…

Bush indeed has punted America to the other team. And he doesn’t much give a damn about how the game will end. Obama will run with Bush’s paltry 50 billion and, faux “messiah” that he is, he will multiply our debt and our taxes like Jesus multiplied the fish and bread. We will be awash in poverty. Our children’s burdens and deprivations shall runneth over.

And there will still be AIDS, and there will still be poverty. Only there will be no more a bright and shining city on a hill to serve as beacon for, not Obama hope, but the real hope that America once ineluctably embodied.

I have to say to real Americans – we are on our own.

Progressives Deliver Dung to America

Barney Franks, His Boyfriend Moses, and Fannie Mae

Barney Franks -a swinish man who, in stature and honor, is akin to a veritable flea biting at McCain’s ankles – epitomizes the “audacity” that Barack Obama’s campaign lays claim to. The audacity of lying crooks who loathe America while daring to claim to support and protect her.

Barney Frank Slams McCain

“McCain is Andy Kaufman in his Mighty Mouse costume – ‘Here I Come to Save the Day,’” Frank said as he left a Thursday morning caucus meeting with House Democrats, saying the Republican presidential candidate’s decision to enter the mix “is not helpful.”

“He hasn’t been involved,” Frank said. “He doesn’t know anything about it.”

Why does Barney Frank think he’s in a position to say McCain is unqualified to be at the negotiating table? Check out this Fox News report, via Ace, focusing on Frank’s role in thwarting efforts to avert this crisis:

Media Mum on Barney Frank’s Fannie Mae Love Connection

Are journalists playing favorites with some of the key political figures involved with regulatory oversight of U.S. financial markets?

MSNBC’s Chris Matthews launched several vitriolic attacks on the Republican Party on his Sept. 17, 2008, show, suggesting blame for Wall Street problems should be focused in a partisan way. However, he and other media have failed to thoroughly examine the Democratic side of the blame game.

Prominent Democrats ran Fannie Mae, the same government-sponsored enterprise (GSE) that donated campaign cash to top Democrats. And one of Fannie Mae’s main defenders in the House – Rep. Barney Frank, D-Mass., a recipient of more than $40,000 in campaign donations from Fannie since 1989 – was once romantically involved with a Fannie Mae executive.
[...]
Frank was and remains a stalwart defender of Fannie Mae, which is now under FBI investigation along with its sister organization Freddie Mac, American International Group Inc. (NYSE:AIG) and Lehman Brothers (NYSE:LEH) – all recently participants in government bailouts. But Frank has derailed efforts to regulate the institution, as well as denying it posed any financial risk. Frank’s office has been unresponsive to efforts by the Business & Media Institute to comment on these potential conflicts of interest.
While the relationship reportedly ended 10 years ago, Frank was serving on the House Banking Committee the entire 10 years they were together. The committee is the primary House body which along with the Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight (OFHEO) has jurisdiction over the government-sponsored enterprises.

He has served on the committee since becoming a congressman in 1981 and became the ranking Democrat on the committee in 2003. He became chairman of the committee, now called the House Financial Services Committee, in 2007.

Moses was the assistant director for product initiatives at Fannie Mae and had been at the forefront of relaxing lending restrictions at the company for rural customers, according to the Feb. 23, 1998, issue of National Mortgage News (NMN).

I Repeat: Obama and the Dems Are Freaking Liars

Bi-partisan My Ass: Barack Hussein Obama is a Liar

Obam and his band of progressive vultures are making every attempt to lay the corpse of America’s economy at the feet of John McCain and conservatives. The man is a shameless liar.

Big Lizards has done some phenomenal work explaining and researching America’s present financial meltdown. I can’t recommend enough the need for those trying to ferret out answers to read all the work he has done. Below is an excerpt of just one of his many pieces.

Sub-Prime Crisis On a Nutshell: Corrupt Democratic Mortgage Manipulation

Here are the “straight talk” bullet points you need to know about the sub-prime mortgage crisis:

* Starting three decades ago, Democrats have used every parliamentary trick in the book to construct exactly the system we have today, where banks are bullied into making bad loans to borrowers who cannot afford them; then they sell those bad loans to Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae; and when a borrower defaults, taxpayers pick up the bill for the defaulter’s nice, new house. This amounts to housing welfare for Democrats;

* Republicans have tried repeatedly to kill that program, warning that such an anti-capitalist practice can only result in a complete, diastrous collapse;

* Democrats “denounced” those warnings as “exaggerated.” Because of the arcane rules in the House of Representatives and especially in the Senate, Democrats have repeatedly managed to squash those attempts at real reform — whether they were in the majority or the minority;

* Now that the warnings are proved prescient, and the collapse is underway and impossible to conceal any longer, Democrats point their fingers at President Bush, John McCain, and Republicans in general — “Look what you made us do!”

* Democrats pretend that the collapse was caused by a lack of regulation and government control — when it was actually caused by overregulation, amounting to quasi-nationalization of mortgage lenders, vigorously pushed by Democrats in 1977, 1999, 2003, and 2005 — the It’s a Wonderful Life provision;

* Democrats pretend that John McCain was pushing for complete deregulation of Fannie and Freddie, when in fact he was pushing for greater oversight — but favored the rescinding of the particular Democratic provision that has now led to the collapse. Barack Obama and Joe Biden have consistently supported this provision — and now blame McCain when its inevitable, predictable, and predicted consequences come crashing down upon us.

A Tragic and Ludicrous Travesty: Barack Obama “Advising” on Finacial Crisis

Republicans? Democrats? Who is at fault? Neither party actually. The “party” at fault is one that has grown and proliferated in our country, our media, and throughout our educational system much like fungi thrives under the cover of darkness. They are called socialists and they are in both parties.

They hide. They hide behind children, they hide behind illegals, they hide behind the poor – all of whom they use to provide the cover of “compassion”.  They hate freedom, they hate capitalism, they hate life, and they hate this country.
In this election they have produced a public face that they are hoping will successfully camouflage the rot that composes their souls as they make a bid to take this country down.  His name is Barack Hussein Obama.

Democrat Obama and Republican McCain… sat down with the president at the White House for an hourlong afternoon session that was striking in this brutally partisan season—but also, according to one participant, “a full-throated discussion.”
[...]
Obama and McCain were at distant ends of the oval table, not even in each other’s sight lines.
(Source)

That Barack Hussein Obama should participate with this nation’s leaders on this economic meltdown is as much of a sham as his accusations that Republicans and capitalism have brought America to the precipice upon which we now totter. It’s rather like inviting  a diseased whore to advise on the necessity of virtue and morality. Yet, there they sit, Barack Obama and his pimps, advising on a crisis that their political agenda and ideology has brought to poisonous fruition.

Please consider the following:

Chris Dodd (head of the Senate Banking Committee), Barack Obama and John Kerry were the top three recipients of Fannie’s money, together collecting around $360,000. (Here and here)

Democrats Channel Hugo Chavez in Rescue Demands

But perhaps the public doesn’t understand — as I didn’t until this month — just how much of that collapse was in fact orchestrated by the socialist hijinks of congressional Democrats (including Obama), by Bill Clinton, and by Jimmy Carter: Between them, they forced banks and S&Ls into the volatile and risky sub-prime market; and then the Democrats repeatedly prevented any attempt by congressional Republicans (and by President Bush) to oversee and regulate that market.

Why would they do this? First, because Democrats have long been getting huge campaign donations from banks and other mortgage lenders; in fact, the top two recipients of such money are Sens. Chris Dodd (D-CT, 95%) and Barack Obama. Both subsequently encouraged exactly the sort of loan speculation they now decry, an act that reeks of corruption. In addition, many former members of the Clinton administration, including Franklin Delano Raines, former Commerce Secretary William Daley, and Deputy Attorney General Jamie Gorelick (of “Gorelick’s wall” infamy), ended up running Fannie and Freddie or lobbying for them… and incidentally raking off tens of millions of dollars for themselves.

But the real culprit in this collapse isn’t just Democratic corruption; it’s the leftist demand to increase minority home ownership by lending low-income borrowers more money than they qualify to borrow, with higher mortgage payments than they are able to pay. That is, offering mortgages that violate the most basic rules of banking, as a form of “housing welfare.” That is the crux of this very real, but very specific crisis.

Obama and his media pals mislead on Wall Street turmoil

…in 2005, McCain was pushing the Federal Housing Enterprise Regulatory Reform Act to rein in Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and require more stringent regulation by the Department of Housing and Urban Development, by which time Barack Obama — who did nothing — was on his way to becoming a top recipient of of donations from Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Wall Street firms enmeshed in the sub-prime mortgage mess. (Indeed, the biggest chunk of industry donations to Camp Obama comes from the Finance, Insurance & Real Estate (FIRE) sector — just edging out Lawyers & Lobbyists.) So McCain did not suddenly embrace this issue; if anyone has, it is Obama, who is grasping for an issue to regain the lead in the public opinion polls with less than 50 days until the election.

‘Crony’ Capitalism Is Root Cause Of Fannie And Freddie Troubles

Meanwhile, Fannie and Freddie also became a kind of jobs program for out-of-work Democrats.

Franklin Raines and Jim Johnson, the CEOs under whom the worst excesses took place in the late 1990s to mid-2000s, were both high-placed Democratic operatives and advisers to presidential candidate Barack Obama.

Clinton administration official Jamie Gorelick also got taken care of by the Fannie-Freddie circle. So did top Clinton aide Rahm Emanuel, among others.

The Trillion-Dollar Bank Shakedown That Bodes Ill for Cities

The Clinton administration has turned the Community Reinvestment Act, a once-obscure and lightly enforced banking regulation law, into one of the most powerful mandates shaping American cities—and, as Senate Banking Committee chairman Phil Gramm memorably put it, a vast extortion scheme against the nation’s banks. Under its provisions, U.S. banks have committed nearly $1 trillion for inner-city and low-income mortgages and real estate development projects, most of it funneled through a nationwide network of left-wing community groups, intent, in some cases, on teaching their low-income clients that the financial system is their enemy and, implicitly, that government, rather than their own striving, is the key to their well-being.

The CRA’s premise sounds unassailable: helping the poor buy and keep homes will stabilize and rebuild city neighborhoods. As enforced today, though, the law portends just the opposite, threatening to undermine the efforts of the upwardly mobile poor by saddling them with neighbors more than usually likely to depress property values by not maintaining their homes adequately or by losing them to foreclosure. The CRA’s logic also helps to ensure that inner-city neighborhoods stay poor by discouraging the kinds of investment that might make them better off.

Soros, Barack Hussein Obama, the Finacial Meltdown: Destroying America

Video via Gateway Pundit

Barack Obama needs to be called out on Freddie Mae and Fannie Mac. In the clip above, his lying tongue stutters pronouncing their names. America will be stuttering all the way to the third world poor house if this Soros puppet is installed as president.

I don’t have much time to devote to blogging these days so I can only send you to those who are doing a mighty fine job of telling you what the Obama’s media whores will not.

Obama Knee-Deep in Financial Crisis

It’s important to go to http://opensecrets.org in order to do some serious research on Obama’s fundraising, including this year and his 2004 Senate race. Obama, after Chris Dodd, was the biggest recipient of donations from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and his economic adviser, Franklin Raines, was a major architect of the financial disaster. So, too, was Jim Johnson, who (briefly) headed Obama’s V-P search team. McCain is exploiting this.

But a key point to bring out how many millions (tens of millions?) Obama has received from financial firms, not only Fannie and Freddie, but also Goldman Sachs, Citigroup, and many, many other firms whose hands are dirty in the recent financial events. Goldman Sachs has treated Obama like the world’s most expensive mistress.

Bloggers and other onliners: We need to concentrate on issues that will ring a bell with the American people and avoid ones that mainly academic exercises. The fact that Obama has received millions from people who caused the economic crisis will resonate.

What is especially enraging for me is that Soros and his boy Obama may damn well succeed in pulling this country down. I have been writing about Soros for a long time and I am relieved to see others recognizing his nefarious machinations in this election. Talk Wisdom, excerpted below, has done an excellent job on this subject. I urge you to follow the link and take advantage of his/her extensive research.

Financial Terrorism?!

To sum up, Soros is a smart, ruthless ideologue who will stop at nothing to advance the secular-progressive offensive. He has no scruples, ethics, or sense of fair play. The guy reminds me of Colonel Banastre “Butcher” Tarleton, the most justly hated Redcoat during the Revolutionary War. Soros and Tarleton can both be associated with take-no-prisoner policies: In both cases, their prey, whether traditionalists today or colonial rebel fighters in the eighteenth century, were simply people trying to strengthen their country.

I mean it. for traditional-minded Americans, George Soros is public enemy number one. Without his unlimited cash (along with that of Peter Lewis), the S-P movement could not attack so readily and so effectively – and with such venom. Soros envisions a libertine society that soaks the rich (except for him) and forms no judgments on personal behavior. His one-world philosophy would obliterate the uniqueness of America and downsize its superpower status. His secular approach would drastically diminish Judeo-Christian philosophy in America and encourage his own spiritual philosophy: atheism. George Soros is truly an imposing force, and his elite media allies are making him even more so. We ignore him at our peril.
Doesn’t the last five sentences remind you of many of the Obama campaign not-so-subtle talking points?

Soros Bets on U.S. Economic Collapse

We may not know much about Paulson, but we know a lot about Soros.

Senators Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama favor government support for people losing their homes because they can’t repay their subprime mortgages. But what about the financial wheeler-dealers in the hedge fund industry who may stand to make billions of dollars from this terrible debacle? Foremost among them is billionaire hedge fund operator George Soros, who has committed his life and immense financial resources to bringing the Democrats to power in the White House.

Ties to the controversial and mysterious hedge fund industry could become a major problem for the Democratic Party. Hedge fund money “appears to be tilting toward the Democrats of late,” the New York Times reported last year.

OBAMA IS OWNED BY GEORGE SOROS

Barack Obama is a wholly-owned subsidiary of madman financier George Soros, the shadowy multi-billionaire who is credited with destroying the entire economy of Britain a few years ago while making a fortune betting against the British currency. For his trouble, he was convicted of insider trading, stock manipulation, and trading fraud. Sound familiar?

Now Soros, along with a conspiracy of Asian and European currency traders, is betting against the dollar. He hopes to bring down the economy of the United States and control the White House, all within the next eight weeks. Already there is talk in international financial circles of lowering the credit rating of the United States from AAA, for the first time in history. That would skyrocket our cost of borrowing. Soros is quoted as having said, “The main obstacle to a stable and just world order is the United States. . . . We must puncture the bubble of American supremacy.”

But first he must get Obama elected at all costs. And to that end he has managed to enlist many of the nation’s union bosses to commit more than $1 billion to the election. Soros plans a one-two punch against our economy, the first in New York in October (did we already see it?) the other in Hollywood just before the election in November.

The dirt dug up on Barack Obama during this horribly long summer campaign season is accumulating like an overflowing landfill. It’s getting to be that you can’t get through that man’s personal and political resume without a piece of excavating equipment..

The latest dirt on Barack Obama’s profit from Fannie and Freddie is beyond dispute. Yet, the faithful media sycophants continue to blame Bush, continue to smear McCain and continue to treat their very fallible and soiled savior as sacred.
The video below exposes the following:

CEO calling Obama and Dems the “Family” “Conscience” of Fannie Mae

The Banking Failures are because of the Housing Crisis, which was caused by mortgage lenders handing out bad loans and the biggest offenders: Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac

The Democrats have been taking PAYOFFS from Fannie and Freddie to look the other way FOR DECADES!

NOW VIDEO FOUND of the CEO of Fannie Mae in 2005 explaining the “FAMILY” connection with Democrats

And specifically Barack Obama and the Congressional Black Caucus (source)

From Just Opinions:
Crisis, Regulation, Free Markets, and the Campaign (via Sister Toldjah)

A major component of the problem is the fact that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and the investment bankers, were making very generous donations to various Congressional Representatives’ and Senators’ campaign funds. The number one recipient of these contributions was, coincidentally, the Democratic Chairman of the Senate Banking Committee, Christopher Dodd, who also got a sweetheart deal from Countrywide, America’s largest home lender, for his own home mortgage. The number two recipient of the largesse of Fannie and Freddie was (hold onto your hats) a freshman Senator named Barack Obama. He got more money from these guys than any other member of the Senate except for the Chairman of the Banking Committee. How do you suppose that happened?

On the other hand, in 2005, three years ago, Senator John McCain introduced a bill in the Senate called the Federal Housing Enterprise Regulatory Reform Act of 2005, which would have placed the exact restraints on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac that might have prevented this crisis. What happened to the bill? It was killed by Chris Dodd’s committee.

This is all a little bit too complex to be the subject of a TV campaign ad, so Obama blames George Bush, and therefore John McCain, because, as everybody knows, they are one and the same, and McCain blusters about promising to go after the greedy Wall Street bankers. Oversimplifications R Us.

But the real truth is, in this economic crisis, McCain is the prescient reformer, and Obama is the sold-out enabler.

The Stench of Barack Hussein Obama

Barack Obama talking trash again. You can bet on it. Behind ornate closed doors and over plates scraped clean of a meal costing his followers $285,000 [Ed: Ooops! Correction- a thoughtful reader pointed out it was $28,500 per plate, not 285,000 each, Obama is organizing his new community, getting cozy with the wealthy white folks he wants to ingratiate himself with. The ones he can relax with, joining with them in their visceral aversion to the working class that he is currently working very hard to hoodwink. But he doesn’t want it to get out this time. Not like before when his real face was exposed to the bitter Americans he needs to win. So the reporters who, like Pavlovian dogs, urinate and defecate for their master on cue, obeyed. They stayed away. And the Hollywood elites who want your 10 bucks at the theater panted for their new master.

I find it incredibly ironic that Barry would snub wounded troops in Germany because he couldn’t bring his press entourage with him but then would bar them from attending an event in his honor among the beautiful people. If anything during this election fails to show the antipathy that Barry O has for the common man, it should be the care that he takes to prevent the common man from hearing what he says to the elites.

But some elites are turning on him. They smell the stink of a loser perhaps.

Trump, never shy with his opinions, went on to say that McCain appears to be winning, and that Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) should have chosen Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) as his running mate.

“I know John McCain, and John McCain’s a great guy, a tremendous guy,” Trump told King. “I’ve known him for a long time. And I’m with him, and I’m with him based on the fact that I have great knowledge of John McCain. Also, this is not the right time for tax increases. And Obama wants to increase your taxes drastically.”

Lady Lynn Forester De Rothschild, former Hillary supporter:

“I have a wonderful life. I want John McCain and Sarah Palin in the White House so other people can have that wonderful life… This is so sad when the Democratic Party plays the class card… The Democratic Party tries to take those issues as wedge issues. John McCain and Sarah Palin are there for ordinary Americans.”

And the Jews are catching the scent of the antisemitism that wafts around Obama and his supporters.

A shocking new poll shows that Jewish voters in New York prefer McCain over Obama by a margin of 54-32 percent. That is even more remarkable because the last poll showed that New York Jews preferred Obama over McCain by a margin of 55-42 percent. That is a 35-point reversal!

Folks are getting tired of every rock one turns over, another enemy of America crawls out with an Obama pin on their lapel.

Who is Mike Klonsky?

- A member of the Obama Campaign

(ran a blog on the official website)

- Received a $175,000 grant from the Ayers/Obama-led Annenberg Challenge

- Destructive, hardlined Maoist. Formed a pro-Chinese sect called the October League (Beijing-recognized Communist Party) Marxist-Lenninist

- Traveled to Beijing and toasted the stalinist Chinese leadership as “reflecting the aspirations of the proletariat and working people”

- Pushes an authoritarian “social justice” agenda. Translation – Supports repayment of centuries of “educational debt” to people of color. (Source)

And if this is ever gets past the media whores who protect him, this country might finally be done with the stench of Barack Obama.

This video shows Fannie Mae CEO talking to members of the Congressional Black Caucus:

The Democrats have been taking PAYOFFS from Fannie and Freddie and have looked the other way FOR DECADES!

They’ve blocked reform.

Now there’s NEW VIDEO of the CEO of Fannie Mae in 2005 explaining the “FAMILY” connection with Democrats and specifically Barack Obama and the Congressional Black Caucus. It looks like Michelle Obama was at the event, too.

No matter where you turn, no matter how you spin it, Barack Obama is poisoning the air of this free land. And more and more will ask – “Why is no one holding Barack Obama accountable?”

I don’t understand.

I don’t understand why no one is holding Sen. Obama accountable.

My brother has been in Iraq for 17 months. 17 months he hasn’t seen his 2 little girls, his wife, or any of the rest of us (his family). And no one cares that Sen Obama decided to use my brother and others like him in Iraq for some kind of political game.

No one gives a damn.

I don’t understand how supporters of Sen Obama who have family or friends in the military are choosing to brush this off. (Source)

Barack Hussein Obama must be stopped. He must lose. The stench of the left must be vanquished if America is to survive.
