[penelopesire]

WOOHOO!!

I bet the dems are sweating bullets...LOL!! Going to read the article. Thanks for the ping!

Still a little wary to get too excited yet....remember..the FBI has lots of Clinton holdovers...(eye roll).

[Gritty]

The FBI must have gotten a tip Scooter Libby or Karl Rove are somehow involved in this mess.

[BurbankKarl]

I dont know what people are jumping for joy...this will only help Obama.

[KansasGirl]

Please throw these crooks in jail including Obama, Clinton, Dodd, Schumer, Frank etc.

[LakeLady]

Any investigation that would bring down the Chosen One would catch them too.

Most excellent point you've made. However, the Billary are the teflon duo. Nothing sticks to them and they will surely rub this one off on Øbama. Her royal thighness truly does not want to wait until 2012 if she can avoid it.

[EGPWS]

FBI looking at potential fraud by Fannie, Freddie, AIG and Lehman .. the institutions and the executives who ran them.

OK!!!

As 175 million legal adult citizens are focused on livelihood for their families and retirement.

This whole GD panic smells via lack of reason per (not the market) the government!

Every damn time there is an issue, good or bad, extreme or not, wanton or hated, self interest motivated or not, it ALWAYS asks for money from us all and since we have been printing IOU's via paper money for quite some time, where are the self-motivated politicians going to get their wealth and power from if they can't squeeze blood out of dead tax payers?

It doesn't look good....

[maggief]

Add more to that list ...

Dodd
Frank
Shumer
Raines
Gorelick
Johnson
Clinton

[editor-surveyor]

Link ?????????

[tomnbeverly]

LOL Just say no to bailing out the crooks... I hope during the investigation they show the ties to the Rats...

If I didn’t know better I would swear this had Karl Rove all over it....

[panaxanax]

The new legislation states: “Decisions by the Secretary [of the Treasury] pursuant to the authority of this Act are non-reviewable and committed to agency discretion, and may not be reviewed by any court of law or any administrative agency.”

[IndianPrincessOK]

“I dont know what people are jumping for joy...this will only help Obama.”

How is that so? It looks like Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac was surrounded with criminal Dems handprints. Right?

[maggief]

oops, and William Daley.

[EEDUDE]

“but the FBI is noting if not a political animal”

Yeah, we still have a certain congressman from Louisiana with $50,000 in cash in his freezer still walking around free.

That character must know where a LOT of bodies are buried.

[tsmith130]

This will end up being more waste of taxpayer money and government time....and NOTHING will come of it.

Yeah, I'm cynical.

[EBH]

It hasn’t been passed yet.

[The KG9 Kid]

My suggestion to the FBI is to raid everything Jamie Gorelick was even seen near.

[BurbankKarl]

It has been well established who looted Fannie and Freddie for over a decade now....no one cares. Raines’ trials are over and done with, he cant be prosecuted again.

Furthermore, this entire bailout has been orchestrated by Bush appointees, not Democrats.

And having McCain ignorant on economics...all Obama has to do is keep his mouth shut for a while and the election is his...the numbers are already moving back toward him.

[TribalPrincess2U]

Rush excerpts: 1. Have you noticed, ladies and gentlemen, there's a new Democrat Party buzzword going around here about this so-called bailout, and it's called "Blank Check." The Democrats have reacted to this proposed bailout of the financial industry, $700 billion. Nancy Pelosi says Main Street must be protected from Wall Street. Whatever the hell that means. I mean, I'm glad she's the one saying it. Too often Senator McCain's gotten close to sounding like that. She said the Democrats will not write a blank check on the campaign trail. Lord Barack Obama, the Most Merciful echoed the Wall Street versus Main Street line. He said that Congress must have oversight. That's what Pelosi wants. That means they want their hands in the stash to be able to direct where it goes. 2. You've got some of these Democrats claiming they're either going to continue to impeach Bush or they're going to mount war crimes trials. These Democrats are still trying to get Karl Rove behind bars. So I'm just telling you people, if there was one Republican, just one involved in all this -- they run the House and Senate now, folks. They run the committees -- if there was just one Republican that they could point the finger of blame at, throw all this on that Republican's shoulders, bury that Republican, kill that Republican, end that Republican's career, it would have started a month ago. 3.Barney Frank, who thwarted the Bush administration's attempts to reform Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac back in 2003 had the gall to say, (sputtering), "Screw the private sector! I hate the private sector!" "It's up to the government to get us out of it," he said. And then he said, "We demand strong oversight." Now, a little news flash. For you guys and the Democrats, you had oversight! You were oversight! It was your oversight, and Bill Clinton's proposals which mandated that banks loan money to people who couldn't afford to pay it back. It was your oversight that Fannie and Freddie created so-called toxic loans and it was your buddies and your pals and your donors and your advisors who looted Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, and now, after it's all blown to smithereens, they want accountability in their hindsight hearings today.

[EEDUDE]

“I never know from day to day what he thinks about anything.”

Well, your in good company, since apparently he doesn’t either.

350 Million people and we get these two clowns McCain and Obama.

[VanDeKoik]

The more things change....
