Stock tip: Buy Home Depot and Lowes. I’m headed out for a pitchfork for the march on Washington that I know is coming soon to remove these phony baloney crooks.

The beneficiaries of these ‘reduced’ loans seem to be quite Democrat in persuasion. One was in GWB’s cabinet but he could still be a Dem. We need to start pointing out the Dem Culture of Corruption. The article also says that Obama is trying to maintain the ‘highest ethical standards’. Hmmmm . Where have I heard that before? The most ethical administration was the Clinton's tenure, yes? /s

‘Caught’? Hah! Elected Democrats are immune to criminal prosecution, just ask Wm. Jefferson of LA., who had $90,000 in marked cash in his freezer and thumbs his nose at the judicial system. There is not such thing as a criminal democrat. Ted ‘the swimmer’ proved that decades ago. It has only gotten worse. The democrat party is surfing on the blood of aborted alive unborn children ... the demons protect them, now.

Democrat Congressmen playing the “who me?” role? They declare their expertise by making laws for us but know nothing about the subject. They didn’t know they got preferential treatment? What planet to these guys live on.

“many of those receiving Countrywide home mortgages say they were not aware the company might have been working behind the scenes to give them favorable loan terms.”

Bwahhh, ha, ha, ha! Please stop! I can’t breath. My ribs are about to explode.

The only Republican mentioned in the article. Guess it's not such a good idea to appoint a director of HUD who has a background in running public housing.

Alphonso R. Jackson served as President Bush's housing secretary from 2004 until March 31, 2008, when he resigned in the face of investigations into whether he improperly steered hundreds of thousands of dollars in government contracts to friends in New Orleans and the Virgin Islands.

Mr. Jackson was the first leader of the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development to arrive at the post with a background in running public housing, having served as president of the Dallas housing authority. He was the federal agency's deputy director from 2001 to 2004.

When I saw this post, I read Sen Kent Conrad in the paragraph below the title, before doing anything I copied his title and pasted it in my Google bar, Wiki showed he was a Democrat.

Not going to read anymore.... NO-OBAMANATION, it will never end until we create a 3rd party.

A new one, that is not Libertarian, Independent, ect.

Something completely different.

We must save our grandchildren from this mess.

I respect Sen McCain for his service to our country, not lip service by me, but he is not the answer.

Obama should change his name to Barrack H. Obama-Soros.

What can be done?

Yeah I know a rant, has nothing to do with the title....
