OBAMA HAS HIS GRUBBY LITTLE PAWS ALL OVER FANNIE MAE & FREDDIE MAC

 

Barack Obama is on the campaign trail, Hillary Clinton is doing network interviews, and the talking heads are on the network news shows, all trying to lay blame for the collapse of Fannie Mae-Freddie Mac at the feet of Wall Street, the Bush Administration, John McCain, and any other Republicans they can.

With the usual help from the MSM, you'd think they would be successful with once again pulling the wool over the eyes of the American public.

Not so.

"The Bush administration [Sept.11,2003] recommended the most significant regulatory overhaul in the housing finance industry since the savings and loan crises 10 yrs. previously."

http:query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9E06E3D6123BF932A2575AC0A9659C8B63&scp=1&sq=&st=nyt

"Among the groups denouncing the proposal...were the National Assoc. of Home Builders and Congressional Democrats who fear that tighter regulation of the companies could sharply reduce their commitment to financing low-income and affordable housing."

"These two entities--Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac--are not facing any kind of financial crises," said Representative Barney Frank of Mass., the ranking Democrat on the Financial Services Committee.

"The more people exaggerate these problems, the more the pressure there is on these companies, the less we will see in terms of affordable housing." Rep. Frank added.

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.

Investor Business Daily in their Editorial page, Monday, September 15, 2008, stated the following:

"Obama in a statement yesterday blamed the shocking new round of subprime-related bankruptcies on the free-market system, and specifically the 'trickle-down' economics of the Bush administration, which he tried to gig opponent John McCain for wanting to extend.

"But it was the Clinton administration, obsessed with multiculturalism that dictated where mortgage lenders could lend, and originally helped to create the market for high-risk, subprime loans now infecting like a retrovirus the balance sheets of many of Wall Street's most revered institutions.

"The untold story in this whole national crisis is that President Clinton put on steroids the Community Redevelopment Act, a well-intended Carter-era law designed to encourage minority homeownership. And in so doing, he helped create the market for the risky subprime loans that he and the Democrats now decry as not only greedy but 'predatory.'"

Under the president's [Bush, 2003] proposal a new agency would have been created within the Treasury Department to assume supervision of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The new agency would have had the authority, which, at the time rested with the Democrat-controlled Congress, to set one of the two capital-reserve requirements for the companies. It would have exercised authority over any new lines of business. And it would have been able to determine whether the two were adequately managing the risks of their ballooning portfolios.

The Bush administration's proposal was endorsed in large part by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and would not have repealed the significant govt. subsidies granted to the two companies.

(this is additional information taken from the NY Times article written by Stephen Labaton)

No wonder there is nobody in the Democrat-controlled Congress calling for an investigation of the screwed up regulation and oversight of these companies...THEY [DEMOCRAT CONGRESSMEN] ARE THE CULPRITS!!

They were lining their pockets with campaign contributions from Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae!!

Christopher Dodd DemocRAT Senator from Connecticut was the number 1 recipient of Fannie Mae and Fannie Mac campaign contributions.

BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA (having only been in the Senate now for 3 years) is a CLOSE 2nd!!

John "Genghis Khan" Kerry rounds out the top 3 recipients of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac largess!

Barack Hussein "...my Muslim faith" Obama is now on the campaign trail railing about the "greed of Wall Street" and blaming the collapse on "the failed policies" of President Bush's administration; implying that with John McCain, the American people can expect more of the same.

The Mainstream media and the talking heads, including PBS News Hour regular and supposed conservative pundit and Republican mouthpiece David Brooks, do nothing to call this moronic liar on his hypocrisy!! Nothing new there, in fact, if anything, they continue to cover his butt by spreading the populist (socialist) propaganda that Wall Street is to blame.

("White folks greed runs a world in need" I suppose.) Except the "greedy white folks are Congressional Democrats and the Obamazebra.)

What would be laughable if it wasn't so infuriating is that Obama is getting away with blaming Bush and McCain while he is personally benefitting from the financial catastrophe he helped create and which is now being dumped on you and me!

Further, on May 25, 2006, Senator John McCain stood on the Senate floor and pleaded with the Senate to pass a new law which he and 3 other Republican Senators co-sponsored titled, THE FEDERAL HOUSING ENTERPRISE REGULATORY REFORM ACT OF 2005--(an excerpt of his comments):

"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 (now by the way, one of Barack Obama's economic advisors), Fannie Mae's former 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 of Freddie Mac.

"I urge my colleagues to support swift action on this GSE (Government-sponsored entities) reform legislation."

http://www.govtrack.us/congress/record.xpd?id=109-s20060525-16&bill=s109-190

Last Action: Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs. Ordered to be reported with an amendment in the nature of a substitute favorably.

Status: Dead

Congressional Democrats, Barack Hussein Obama included are the real culprits in this meltdown.

But the uninformed masses of Obamamaniacs and dimwits who make up the DemocRAT Party will eat the $h!t coming out of the mouth of the Socialist mouthpiece candidate for president, as always putting style above substance....

....as they continue to be carried away on waves of lofty rhetoric...chills running up their legs...while marching straight to hell under the spell of their Marxist pied-piper.

MSM HELPING BARACK HUSSEIN PLAY SHELL GAME WITH FANNIE MAE


Tomorrow morning when you watch the ABC, CBS, and NBC news playing the clip of Obama trying to put the Wall Street and mortgage banker collapses on the backs of Republicans and the Bush administration, think about what you are about to read, while you look at and listen to this fraud...(also, be alert to the way the media plays ONLY what Obama has to say...)

FANNIE MAE...FREDDIE MAC

TOP 3 CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTEES:

1. Christopher Dodd D. CT.  $165,400
2. Barack Obama     D. IL.  $123,349
3. John Kerry       D. MA.  $111,000

http://www.opensecrets.org/news/2008/09/update-fannie-mae-and-freddie.html

Barack Hussein Obama took donations from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac (its No. 2 political beneficiary) and today he has the audacity to try to make it a campaign issue in his favor!  Audacity?  He's got plenty of that!

In a 19 year period of campaign contributions, and out of 354 lawmakers from 1989-2008, BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA ROSE TO THE NUMBER 2 RECIPIENT in 3 YEARS!!

Hearing any alarm bells yet?

Yet Obama is on the campaign trail today blaming these policies on the Republicans, pretending he is for the Middle Class?

Contempt for the truth...and contempt for the voting public, and the stupid idiot Democrat sycophants want to put this lying fraud in the White House.

In 2004, when Republicans fought hard to regulate these two, Barack Obama and the Democrats pushed hard to prevent it.

John McCain came in at No.63 @ $21,750.

Why do you think the Democrat-led Congress is not calling for any investigations?

Because they are corrupt as you-know-what...

...or if you're an Obama supporter, you don't know jack smitt..

We need a Special Prosecutor or, at least a Grand Jury investigation into the mismanagement of these funds.

Maybe Chuckie Gibson, et al., will do an investigation of this...or 60 Minutes...or Dateline...or CNN...or...

Fug get about it...

The dopey liberals are so blinded by this Marxists rhetoric...they wouldn't believe he did anything wrong if he slapped them upside the head...

...in fact, they'd probably blame George Bush...

MSM SUPPORTS OBAMA AS A SCRIPTURE QUOTING HYPOCRITE

Barack Obama is a Scripture quoting hypocrite allowed a pass on his hypocrisy. 

Religious affiliation is a matter of personal choice.  The fact remains, however, that the personal choices of a person running for the Presidency will, and should be examined by voters.  John McCain, Sarah Palin, Republicans and evangelical Christians are being raked over the coals; being painted by Obama supporters, liberal Democrats, and the Mainstream Media as being fanatical and hypocritical on morality issues.

The liberals are positing that Barack Hussein Obama be held to a different standard.

The Obama media is instrumental in seeking the systematic undoing of the McCain-Palin campaign; while only engaging in questioning the religious of John McCain and Sarah Palin, while taking on faith that Barack Obama's "supposed Christianity" is already proven and confirmed.

Mr. Obama is the only candidate in the race who has openly incorporated direct references to the Holy Bible scripture in his speeches and campaign appearances, including Matthew 25, and making references to the teachings of Jesus Christ on being one's "brother's keeper" and "as ye have done unto the least of these," even though both of these scriptures expose the height of his own hypocrisy as he is neither his brother's keeper [his brother being ignored by him as he lives in Kenya on $1 per month], nor is he concerned about "the least of these" [innocent live-born babies whose mothers want to screw but don't want to be "punished" with the consequences of their screwing].

Any question about Barack Hussein Obama's beliefs; the Dems and their Press agents [MSM] all cry LIE LIE LIE RACISM RACISM RACISM HYPOCRITES HYPOCRITES HYPOCRITES!

I'll bet you 10 to 1 that NOT ONE of the nutty liberal Obama defenders posting here today has read 1 page of Dr. Jerome Corsi's book,  The Obama Nation or any other that does not advance his populist propaganda campaign.  But here they undoubtably are, out in force to defend the Lone Stranger, using ad hominen attacks against anyone who seeks answers about who Barack Hussein Obama really is, and what it is he actually believes will be accomplished for the good of American society by his becoming President.

Indonesian Muslim schools or Trinity United Church of Hatred, what's the difference?

What about "Black Liberation Theology?"

Still, we, the American people are left to wonder:

Don't we, in order to become informed voters, deserving to have asked of Mr. Obama:

a) What exactly was it about Jeremiah Wright, specifically, that drew you, Barack Hussein Obama, to an acceptance of "Christ" that until being exposed to Wright, whose theology teaches that "Jesus was a black man" and "If God is not black, He needs to be killed" that separated Jeremiah Wright from other Christian ministers in a city as large as Chicago that is FULL of dynamic black community oriented churches?  Why did you choose one that teaches "Black Liberation Theology?"

b) Mr. Obama, how will your identification with this "theology" affect your ability to equally represent non-black citizens of the United States?  And why should the American people believe you will not be biased towards the interest of the black community at the expense of white taxpayers?

c) Mr. Obama, how will your "committment to the 'black community'" affect your committment to other non-black communities and how will it affect your performance in the White House?

d) What are white, and for that matter, black citizens to make of this racially polarizing "Black Liberation Theology" philosophy?  Can you explain to the American people what it means in a religious context?

The Mainstream Media is doing a GRAVE disservice to Americans, refusing to even ATTEMPT to have these questions asked, let alone answered by Barack Obama or to vet this candidate, ignoring or shrugging off his choice to join and stay active in a "church" where he took a:

"PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE to all Black leaders who ESPOUSE and EMBRACE the Black Value System."

Liberal knuckleheads claim that Republicans and conservatives are moral hypocrites, pushing their religious beliefs onto them.

WHAT IS THE TRUTH?

Liberals wear blinders.

Facts don't matter to the defenders of Obama.

They think with their emotions; not their brains.

Serious-minded American voters who want to be informed voters will read Obama Nation and continue to press for answers about Barack Hussein Obama.

We will not rest until this danger to America is exposed and suffers an ABORTION of its own in the evil womb of its Marxist conception.

....we'll THEN be the judges of Mainstream Media credibility; in ummasking their coverage concerning his hypocrisy and blasphemy; in their collusion and attempted coronation of the Lone Stranger of the 2008 Presidential election.

....the ONLY Scripture quoting hypocritical candidate in this race; and the only one who invokes the very Scriptures that condemn him and put a lie to his honesty, judgement, and integrity.


No talk of faith by conservatives or Republicans will go unexamined, unpunished, or unmocked in the Mainstream Media. They will dig up any and every facet of a Republican candidates' failure to live a spotless life and provide a moral example that even God himself would be in awe of. And any thing that falls short of perfection itself will be talked about for days by the "talking heads" on every network and in every newspaper.

But Barack Hussein Obama, the supporter of Infanticide, member of a racist theology, and student of godless Marxism, is ALONE given a pass to quote Scripture and cite the teachings of Christ with impunity and liberal approval.

Those who have no respect for either the authority of the Holy Bible, or the great preachers that preach it, have no problem with its messages being bastardized and usurped by one who is intent on distorting its message to fit their reprobate culture of death and homosexuality.

...and their Mainstream Media leg-tingling Fifth Column is all-too-eager to promote this blasphemy; turning a blind eye and a gleeful accomodation to the destruction of all things we as Christians hold sacred.

INDECISIVE OBAMA UNIQUELY UNQUALIFIED TO SERVE AS PRESIDENT

From the NY Times, Dec. 20,2007--

"In 1999, Barack Obama was faced with a difficult vote in the Ill. legislature-to support a bill that would let some juveniles be tried as adults, a position that risked drawing fire from [sic] African-Americans, or to oppose it, possibly undermining his image as a tough on crime moderate.

In the end, Mr. Obama chose neither to vote for nor against the bill. He voted "present," effectively sidestepping the issue, an option he invoked nearly 130 times as a state senator.

Sometimes the "present" votes were in line with instructions from Democrat leaders or because he objected to provisions in bills that he might otherwise support. At other times, Mr. Obama voted present on questions that had overwhelming bipartisan support. In at least a few of these cases, the issue was politically sensitive."

Mr. Obama's record in the Ill. Senate, or lack of one in the U.S. Senate, are strong indicators that the candidate who, in running for Commander-in-Chief of our country, in a time where strong leadership on important and controversial, politically sensitive issues demand clear and decisive leadership, points to not only his lack of experience and judgement, but more strikingly to his lack of the guts to take a leadership role on any issue.

Even now, he is constantly side-stepping and flip-flopping on every major issue he is confronted with in his presidential election bid. For months he has been trying to deny the success of the Surge; giving credit to anyone and anything that smacks of U.S. success in that region of the world; whether in Iraqi battlefield conditions or political reconciliation which is evidenced by the Democrat MSMs non-reporting on Iraq. (when it comes to MSM reports on our successes in Iraq, NO NEWS IS GOOD NEWS, as bad news is all they feel obliged to report).
 
Throughout his adult life, inside and outside of politics, he has always and all situations, beeen NOTHING MORE than a follower:

He followed Frank Marshall Davis-a long time anti-America Communist Party member.

He followed William Ayres-a long-time anti-American terrorist & co-founder of the '60s & '70s Weatherman Underground terrorist bombing group.

He followed Rev. Jeremiah Wright-the "Black Liberation Theology anti-America racist pastor of Trinity United Church of Racial Hatred in Chicago.
 
He followed Minister Louis Farakhan in 1995 to his Million Man March in Washington D.C.- where in an interview with a reporter afterwards, Obama angrily stated that " [blacks] would "turn inward  and towards Black Nationalism...." and "white Americans couldn't care less about the profound problems African-Americans are facing in this country."

He followed Antonin "Tony" Rezko- Chicago political-fixer, slumlord, and racketeer.

He followed Rashid Khalidi- PLO operative and funneler of money to radical Islamist in the Middle East & Gaza, and vocal opponent of Israel's existence now a "respected" Prof. at Columbia University. [responsible for inviting Ahmadamnjihad to speak at the university on his U.N. visit).

He followed Dick "Pol Pot" Durbin- the Ill. U.S. Senator who compared the actions of the U.S. military in Iraq to the death squads of the Pol Pot regime in '70s Cambodia.

Now he expects the American people to believe that he can LEAD us?
 
Who will Barack choose to follow next?
 
President Ahmadamnjihad of Iran?

If this puppet of Democrat machine politics, whose thin resume' only supports the notion of his complete lack of independent thinking or decision-making in every position he has held, cannot now even answer the simple question of when, in his opinion, life begins....saying the answer to THAT question is above his pay-grade?

Why should anyone but the ultra-radical and left-wing controllers of Democrat anti-family, pro-abortion, homosexual rights, and anti-U.S. military strength, such as Nancy "My job is to save the planet" Pelosi, Harry "The War is lost" Reid, Jack "The Treasonous Traitor" Murtha, and Dick "Pol Pot" Durbin, believe that we can expect him to fulfill his promises now that he will be the agent of CHANGE and HOPE he is now loudly proclaiming he is uniquely qualified to be?

For a President and Commander-in-Chief, it will not suffice for him to merely vote "present" in the War Rooms and secret briefing rooms of the Pentagon, NSA, and White House.

His record of his failure to take a firm stand on ANY issue upon which the leader of our nation will be singularly positioned to have to do, makes being the President and Commander-in-Chief of the United States of America way beyond Barack Hussein Obama's pay-grade.

I'M CONVINCED...THIS IS "THE TWILIGHT ZONE"

First, the Mainstream Media attempts to paint Governor Sarah Palin as being "inexperienced" despite the fact that she was serving in elected office 5 years before Barack Obama was ever even heard of.

Now, the Mainstream Media has as their lead story today the fact that her 17 year old daughter is pregnant, in an attempt to paint her as having a dysfunctional family, despite the fact that they remain mute on the fact that Barack Obama was born out-of-wedlock to a "beatnik" mother who dragged him all over the world while chasing after one foreign lover, after another.
 
 
I'm now convinced...
 
...I'm living in The "Twilight Zone."

ONLY OBAMA GETS A PASS ON VETTING


Not suprisingly, given their record so far, the Mainstream Media has absolutely no interest in the Chicago Annenberg Challenge dealings of Democrat Presidential candidate Barack Hussein Obama and his close friend and colleague William Ayres (the man who literally tramples the flag and who openly declares war on the United States of America).  Why should we think they will be interested in this latest disclosure of information pointing to an even closer relationship between Obama and Ayres than what he previously led us to believe was the case ?  With the revelation that Republican vice-presidential nominee, Governor Sarah Palin's 17 year old daughter being pregnant, they have bigger fish to fry than to investigate Obama's ties to an unrepentant, seditious friend and colleague.  A pregnant teenage girl is a shock to their conservative sensibilities...(that, coupled with a mother running for office who doesn't know that a woman's place is in the home, is scandalous!!).  Indeed. It's the top story on every Mainstream Media network!!

But as the 2008 Presidential election campaign is heading into the stretch, one can't help but be aware that the Democrat Presidential nominee has never been and never will be fully vetted.  Oh no.  That would not serve to anyone's advantage.  Would it? 

All the other candidates, and would-be contenders for the Presidency of the United States of America, which is without question, the most powerful and important executive position in the entire world, are being fully vetted, but the MSM shows absolutely no interest in what information might be contained in the U of I documents, or in any other scandal associated with Barack Hussein Obama.  His being the Democrat candidate alone should be sufficient to convince one and all of his anointing as a saint before the eyes of God and of man.

Now, it's Gov. Sarah Palin & her family's turn to be sacrificed by the left-loving MSM on the altar of Obamanation.  Pregnant teenage daughter...Oh my!! 

We will remain left to wonder exactly what horse the Lone Stranger has rode into town on.

No MSM attempts have ever been (or ever will be) made in finding out the extent to which this man of mystery and anger, shares the views of his close friend and U.S. Capitol building bomber, William Ayres, who he worked with on more than one foundation over a period of 10 or 15 yrs., or Antonin "Tony" Rezko, or Rashid Khaladi, the (former?) PLO operative. We are left to the construction of our own idea of who this man is by gleaning some insight, via youtube.com or other blogspots, of his cadre of mentors, advisors, and other radical-leftist/Marxist associations; then, only because of their precelebratory orgiastic verbal eruptions drawing attention to their very vitriolic hatred for all things American and which are not included in the "black liberation theology" worldview.

No. Liberals & the MSM are only concerned that a 17 year old daughter would take a pregnancy to full-term.

It would have been much more palatable to them had she undergone an abortion (or two).

GOD-DENYING, MOCKING LIBERALS NOW PRAY FOR GOD'S DESTRUCTION

It's ironic that the God-denying, God-mocking "progressives" making up the Democrat Party, rather than calling on Al Gore and the man-made climate changing gurus they subscribe the control of Creation, global warming, and, yes, tornados, floods, and hurricanes to, are now looking to the God of the heavens to provide a bounce for their loser ticket of Obama/Biden.

It speaks volumes to extent of their heightening sense of desperation over their chosen god, Barack Hussein Obama's ongoing slide in the polls.

Their GOLDEN CALF has received absolutely NO BOUNCE in the polls, and is in fact TRAILING the McCain/Palin ticket 47% to the Obama/Biden ticket's 45% according to the latest Zogby poll.

Despite ALL the collusion of the Mainstream Media (and their talking heads, with their refusal to countenance coverage or vetting of Barack Hussein Obama and any potentially damaging information about his criminal and radical associations...he has received NO BOUNCE.
 
Despite his half-hearted resignation from his 20+ year love affair with his mentor and erstwhile "uncle" Jeremiah Wright's Trinity United Church of Satan...NO BOUNCE.

Despite his  Mainstream Media Fan Club-supported Worldwide "Rock Star" Victory Tour...he has received NO BOUNCE.

Despite his mysterious unlimited supply of hundreds of millions of dollars of campaign contributions...he has received NO BOUNCE.

Despite his adamant support of the sacrificing of the lives of innocent American babies on the altar of Abortion rights being applauded by the left...he has received NO BOUNCE.

Despite his OBAMACROPOLIS, Stevie Wonder rock concert Mile High Stadium Mainstream Media spectacle Democrat Convention acceptance performance (with a set designed by the same people who design the sets for Britney Spears)...he has received NO BOUNCE.

Despite his mockery of "bitter Americans clinging to their guns and religion..." he has received NO BOUNCE.

Now, ironically, the God-hating and God-denying liberal "progressives" that make up the party of no God & Barack Hussein "The Messiah" Obama, despairing of their continued TRAILING of McCain in the polls by a margin of 47% to 45%, (and with the wildly popular addition of Alaska Governor Sarah Palin as Senator McCain's Vice Presidential nominee) are learning how to PRAY...PRAYING for the destruction of New Orleans, even better if with hundreds of black victims suffering and dying as a worthy SACRIFICE on the altar of OBAMANATION, to provide him a BOUNCE  in the polls; saving them from the ABORTION which is fast becoming the likelihood of his OWN seemingly pre-ordained and carefully orchestrated coronation and political ambition...

What GOD would GRANT the prayers of a baby killing Marxist and his reprobate, GOD-denying constituency?

...my guess is none...sorry, there will be NO BOUNCE coming for this ill-fated abomination of a candidacy.
