Schumer is a joke
This is a sleeve job that Fox is, for reasons I can’t fathom, playing into. McCain ALSO indicted Obama for being the second-largest recipient of special interest money from Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac and named Obama’s advisors who actually ran the two agencies into the ground, getting away with millions. When is anyone in the ‘mainstream press’ going to publish THAT???
BTW, Rush mentioned this emphatically in hour two.
Guess the wall street guys are getting sick of the Shakedown Shumer, they deserve each other.
You can add Reid to the list. Chucky has no business talking about McCains record as his mouth contributed to a recent back failure.
You mean....IndyMac Schumer?
He needs to STHU!!
Phil Gramm might be excellent on the SEC.
and as for Schumer “Sit down, Chuck”
I've had my differences with Senator McCain - a lot of them, actually - but I never have to doubt that when he says "Country First", he really means it.
Chris Cox was a top notch congressman from Southern California. If Cox allowed these changes to go thru, hmmm. I’d like to hear his side of the story.
And Sen Schumer, just how many donations did you get from bank X?
Always good to hear from Harry “no one knows what to do” Reid.
Asking to fire Cox is all well and good I suppose but WHY OH WHY does McCain always slam republicans and never slams dems???
I want to hear out loud, every day, how the libtards are the ones that created the subprime mess, stymied ever effort to correct and then recieved boatloads of cash from the executives of these sham companies.
Love that post!
McCain is full of BS. Naked short selling has been illegal for years. And if they want to catch the naked shorts, then they should tear open the books of the investment banks and hedge funds. There’s a story out today that Lehman is suspicoiusly unable to find some stock certificates. Hmmm, might it just be because...they never had them ?
I’ll see if I can find the link.
This is why neither presidential candidate is a solution. Neither one has a clue.
Besides if you ban the shorts who have borrowed shares, then you get what Shanghai has - 71% down so far this year. No bid.
Our fine senate at work. Do the public a service and resign.
Ok, fine go after Cox-—but why not mention BY NAME Franklin Raines and Johnson????
Excellent. McCain will NOT get the edge he needs on this until or unless he NAMES NAMES among the Obama-ites.
naked shorts need to be banned. regular shorts do not. alot of the naked shorting is happening from europe and the middle east and it puts companies into a death spiral as there is NO requirement to borrow the shares. and these hedge funds play a scam game with the FTD (fail to deliver) by shifting the shorter from hedge fund to hedge fund and allow the 3 days rule to start all over again each time.
I’m glad naked shorting is finally being seriously looked at.
