Hopefully someone is keeping all the articles/links indicting Obama and his gang of thieves in regards to Fannie/Freddie, Lehman and the blocking of Energy independence. It's getting unruly in my neck of the woods on who’s to blame for this mess. It would be nice to go to one source to show all my finger pointing friends.
I agree a good synopsis of all this would be very helpful...
I’m concerned that these bail outs and stock market problems are in the news. Lotsa people have the notion in their minds that the Republicans are the party of big business, and the Democrats are the party of the people. And rightly or wrongly, they might grativate to Obama as being the better candidate to fix problems in our financial markets.
I don’t think Obama has a clue about what should be done about Wall Street problems. But I think there is a lingering perception among some people that the Democrat parry, going back to FDR, is the party which will fix economic problems. And that perception could help him win the election.
Put backhoe on the case ... one of the best indexers and cross-referencers we’ve got!
Rove on Hannity covered it pretty well.
Need a DVD of it all pretty soon that can get out there.

And spanked little Allen Colmes nicely!

“BREAKING THE BANK (Obama financial advisor...)
American Spectator ^ | 9-17-08 | THe Prowler

...Penny Pritzker, Obama’s national finance chair was, with her family, the half owner of Superior Bank, which was shut down in 2001 by the FDIC after it had lost nearly all of its more than $2 billion of assets on bad loans to high-risk borrowers, federal regulators said.
Pritzker has avoided media attention over the past week as reporters covering the Obama campaign sought comment on the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac debacle.
Pritzker also served as finance chair for Obama’s Senate run, and supported him during his time in the Illinois state legislature.
One reason Pritzker may have been enamored with Obama was his willingness to press legislation that loosened state regulatory policies for land developers and multi-family property owners......

Housing: Who Got Rich? Who's to Blame?

Who do we blame for today's housing crisis, subprime loans and the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac debacle? Who got rich?
The Democrats are blaming it on the Republicans and G.W. Bush, but that's not the answer.
We can accurately blame it on the Clinton administration, and the Democrats. The irresponsible actions of some very powerful people got this cauldron brewing many years ago - and then, there was no stopping it.

Explosive Video, Fannie Mae CEO calling Obama and the Dems the "Family" and "Conscience" of Fannie Mae

Fr search => Franklin RainesHe is the financial advisor to bambi.
Raines looted and bankrupted Fannie mae.
While Barney Fwank threatened law suits on discrimination
to mortgage house if the did not give loans to all who asked.The loans were known as Ninja loans.
No income, no job, no assets
The mortgage loans were sold to countywide
Mortgage insurance was sold by AIG.
Another player was Jamie Gorelick Deputy AG under the Clintons
Who gave us the Wall of Separation memo preventing sharing
intelligence between the FBI and CIA
facilitating 9/11 terrorist attacks.Wiki says:
Even though she had no previous training nor experience in finance, Gorelick was appointed Vice Chairman of FNMA from 1997 to 2003. She served alongside former Clinton Administration official Franklin Raines, and earned over 26 million during her six years there. During that period, FNMA developed a $10 billion accounting scandal. [10] One example of falsified financial transactions that helped the company meet earnings targets for 1998, a "manipulation" that triggered multimillion-dollar bonuses for top executives.
“She served alongside former Clinton Administration official Franklin Raines, and earned over 26 million during her six years there.”
You’ve got to be kidding me. That wench that screwed up our national security got paid $26 million to screw up our mortgage industry?
Worse than pathetic.
Pritzker, Predatory Subprime Pioneer, Still On Obama Team
Is Obama for the People or the Banks?
Obama’s Finance Chair, Failed Bank Owner Penny Pritzker And Today’s Wall Street Problem
Good idea.
I had wanted something like this to sway Democrat-leaning co-workers and aquaintences toward voting R, but unfortunately facts (for some, at least) don’t enter into the equation.
Rep. Rahm Emanuel - served on the Board of Directors for Freddie Mac after leaving the Clinton White House. According to Freddie Mac insiders, Emanuel during his time on the board opposed every reform proposed by the Bush Administration that would have impacted Freddie and Fannie Mae.
Former Clinton FBI Director Louis Freeh, who sits on Fannie's board today.
Harold Ickes, a senior adviser to both President Clinton and Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) is also on the board.
And you gotta love this line:
And don't worry, the mortgage expert Charlie Rangel will continue to help oversee the mortgage companies in Congress.
ROTFLMAO!
Thank you much for the link.
