I've been asked to start you this week...those who normally do this..... can't...so you got me. I haven't even looked at the news ...but my coffee is very good this morning....so get a cup and lets get this show rolling.

WHO ME?

From a liberal emailer:

The Bush administration has decided to socialize the debt of the big Wall Street Firms. Taxpayers didn't get to enjoy any of the big money profits on the phony financial instruments like derivatives or bundled sub-prime paper, but we get the privilege of paying for their debt and failures.

My answer:

The facts are correct but it isn't the Bush Administration...it is the Democrat Congress who are putting this forward and it is congress that funds laws they make. The President has no control over finances. He can only sign in new laws or veto them.

Am I right? or is it the "BUSH ADMINISTRATION"? I am so TIRED of the bull sugar I get in my email each dang day!!!

[bevlar]

HOORAY!!! Good for you girl!!!!

Kudos to the caller to Rush show today:

Congress held hearings for all the CEOs of the Big Oil Companies.

Why not hold hearings for the CEOs of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac et al companies?

[lysie]

They had hearings for MLB, too.

[lysie]

Thank you for starting the thread!!!!

Here is the best article I have read on who's to blame for the financial mess, and it's not even close to being the Bush Administration:

How the Democrats Created the Financial Crisis - by Kevin Hassett of Bloomsberg News.

He is getting death threats because of the article so you know he is very close to the truth. Oh, and btw, this is the only article I have seen that mentions McCain being one of the 3 co-sponsors of Senate Bill 190 (intended to place strict regulations and oversight of Fannie and Freddie), which the Dems killed in the Banking Committee in 2005 (it was re-introduced as S. 1100 but McCain isn't a sponsor of that one so far).

Here is an article that blames Andrew Cuomo who, as UOx42's HUD Secretary, forced Fannie and Freddie and everybody else to accept sub-prime mortgages:

Andrew Cuomo and Fannie and Freddie - from the Villiage Voice, of all places....;-))

Someone please answer my post from the liberal emailer. I am getting scalded here :-)

[bevlar]

WHOA!! There it is!! Thank you Bit!!!!!

[GrayNo]

Wow! Great to see you here already. Surgery behind you and on to phase two. Maybe you have said, but how long will you stay in the hospital?

[Dog]

Bev why do you torment yourself trying to answer that liberal emailer..?

Just ignore them...and stop tying yourself in knots.

[bevlar]

Oh honey! I would love to but it is my daughter and her liberal husband who keep sending me emails. The last one they sent was from that great intellect, Arianna Huffington. Dear HEAVENS! She is nut case and quote her as though she is an unbiased political genius.

[Dog]

Sheesh...but my advice stands.

Ignore them...change the subject...tell her your stressed out over politics and want to talk about gardening.

:-)
