Not true. He was a civilian volunteer.

Corrupt campaign=corrupt administration

Let the games begin.....

Thanks dervish. Big surprise, eh?

McCain made a half assed attempt to tie Obama to the Freddie/Fannie shenanigans.

Mccain had a paid freddie/fannie lobbyists as campaign manager and about a dozen other former freddie/fannie people. He did not have a leg to stand on making the charges without the media tearing him a new one.

“I was fortunate to serve as Vice-Chairman of the Chicago Housing Authority and as a Freddie Mac Board member. In those capacities, I saw firsthand the teamwork between public and private entities that’s required to make affordable housing available “

This is what caused the financial crisis. McCain sounded the alarm, but was still blamed, even though it was the Dems’ mess.

Emanuel’s season on the brink

The caricature of Rep. Rahm Emanuel (D-Ill.), the public face of the Democratic sweep of last year’s midterm elections, is that he swears, fidgets and throws temper tantrums.

Looks like the same old establishment. That’s some “change”

[dervish]

Thanks for the link.

The People just put into the presidency the Chicago Machine.

“The People just put into the presidency the Chicago Machine.”

Now the corruption of the Chicago machine is in the White House.

[dervish]

exactly.

I like your tagline.

don’t you think that the crash of the financial markets and bailout came too conveniently for the democrats during the election? IMO it was planned.

[gunnedah]

I do not have much doubt it was somewhat planned but regardless the ineptness of the Republicans helped cause it. The Reps or any politicians do not have guts to take a stand when a black person injects race into anything and that is what happened with Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac. Americans are cowards and as long as I live I will never sat by and allow one of my grands or great grands serve in the military without me trying to stop them. This country has screwed over those who have died for it.Amerika is a doomed country,watch and see.

“This country has screwed over those who have died for it.Amerika is a doomed country,watch and see.”

your probably right, but I hope your wrong. I’ll do everything I can do to take it back and teach my children t9o think for themselves.

[gunnedah]

No one hopes I am more wrong than I do.
