.........BIG OIL..........
The dems do not care of “green” anything..repeat.....do NOT care of green anything.....Green is the camaflague of socialism
..Exactly what congress wants is to eliminate BIG OIL comletely...No oil co anything.......
What congress wants is to be the lawful BROKER for oil contracts from middle east sourses
Know why..........cannot sheil ( squeeze)) a CORPORATION for grift, but you can when you are the contracts buyer and grift?......Big as you ever saw
Lucky Jamie Gorelick. She made millions by arranging for people with poor credit histories and no income to buy homes.
Jamie is a big buddy of Bob Steel, former Chairman of the Board of Trustees at Duke University and now heading up (or more likely heading down) Wachovia.
Look for both Gorelick and Steel to make more millions from the Wachovia disaster.

Well, I think I am fairly happy go lucky, usually smiling with a positive outlook...but, of course, Obama says I am a bitter and clingy Pennsylvanian...(who will be real happy I am thinking on November 5!!!)
the way to bury the drive - by’s and tv pundits is play the game as they do......I don’t know about anyone here but we need to attack BIG NEWS......BIG NEWS is killing America and BIG NEWS hires BIG NEWS pundits for annual contracts for millions per year.....oh,plus that golden parachute
yep.....BIG OIL my ass.....BIG NEWS is the marxist in the room
After amassing millions from the wreckage at HP and Lucent, I shudder to think what she’ll get from whatever posting McCain gives Carly Fiorina.
Anyone seen any numbers for how many loans went to illegal immigrants? Just curious.
More'n likely, just compiling the data would be deemed a hate crime.

Herald-Sun, The (Durham, NC) - February 6, 2008
Author: Ray Gronberg
DURHAM — Duke University has added a former deputy attorney general of the United States to the legal team that will defend it against a federal civil-rights lawsuit filed by three members of the 2005-06 men’s lacrosse team.
Court papers filed this week indicate that Washington, D.C., attorney Jamie Gorelick will assist two Greensboro litigators in representing the school. They’re also the attorneys of record for the Duke University Police Department, Board of Trustees Chairman Robert Steel, school President Richard Brodhead and numerous other university officials.

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. [11] Gorelick received $779,625. On March 25, 2002, Business Week interviewed Gorelick about the health of “Fanny Mae”. [12] Gorelick is quoted as saying, “We believe we are managed safely. We are very pleased that Moody’s gave us an A-minus in the area of bank financial strength — without a reference to the government in any way. Fannie Mae is among the handful of top-quality institutions.” [12] One year later, Government Regulators “accused Fannie Mae of improper accounting to the tune of $9 billion in unrecorded losses”. [13]

Jamie makes good money picking up the pieces and defending the indefensible. I'm waiting for the other Wachovia shoe to drop. Jamie will be there again to clean up.
Thanks for the link. Yes. Rush mentioned Andrew Cuomo as the culprit at the bottom of the Fannie Mae / Freddi Mac fiasco.
Yep!
In Defense of Capitalism - Ron. H. Nash, PhD.
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1352736/posts
EXCERPT: “Only capitalism operates on the basis of respect for free, independent, responsible persons. All other systems in varying degrees treat men as less than this. Socialist systems above all treat men as pawns to be moved about by the authorities, or as children to be given what the rulers decide is good for them, or as serfs or slaves. The rulers begin by boasting about their compassion, which in any case is fraudulent, but after a time they drop this pretense which they find unnecessary for the maintenance of power. In all things they act on the presumption that they know best. Therefore they and their systems are morally stunted. Only the free system, the much assailed capitalism, is morally mature.” ~ Dr. Ronald H. Nash
Fox Radio News playing a dirty trick on Sarah Palin (at 1 PM ET). They preceded a small sound bite of her saying [paraphrased] “this time the Federal Government will not bail them out” with “some people will lose their life savings.”
When it came to Andrew at HUD, I always believed that Mario was the brains behind the throne.
