for later
Thats the reason I posted the story from the Politico, I was reading Rush Limbaugh transcripts today, and when he said that Raines was Obama’s economic adviser, I went to Wiki to check it out, and found the denial.
How were you able to cache the page last night?
I have been saving certain pages I think might “disapppear with a microsoft HTML doc. Crude but effective but I know how much disappears, especially pictures and would like to learn. Thanks.
weird thing happening on Google. Do a search for Franklin Raines and Obama and the links have disapared when you click on them. It happened on a Forbes link, NPR Link and a USA Today link. Is the internet being cleaned?
“He is currently employed by Barack Obama’s Presidential Campaign as an economic adviser.”
Until Barry throws him under the bus.
Searched on Yahoo of all places for non-WaPost info on Raines/Obama. I first tried Google, but I felt that they were purging things. Google images purged pictures of the dork who evidently accessed Palin’s Yahoo account yesterday. Google is even worse than the MSM, in many ways.
See my post 46 above yours.
Just refer to the WP article

second that
maybe bill o will take a look at this, esp since it comes from “right-wing kooks”?
“Ah, I did not know Raines was a gentleman of color.”
Well, I figured out his party affiliation just from his name...how many Republicans are named “Franklin Delano”?;)
A July 16, 2008 story in The Washington Post in which Raines is described as having “taken calls from Barack Obama’s presidential campaign seeking his advice on mortgage and housing policy matters.”
I have added a link to this thread to the Franklin Raines Wikipedia page. Look at the bottom of the page.
FOX’s low IQ Shep allowed a democrat congress critter lie repeatedly on the FOX show before O’Reilly. The big typical demcorat lie was exactly opposite of the truth ... the lying critter stated emotionally that McCain was against regulations in the financial arena and was responsible for the current downfall of the financial markets. Poor Shep is too stupid to even know he’s being lied to, much less call the demcorat liars on their treachery.
In the four years since he stepped down as Fannie Maes chief executive under the shadow of a $6.3 billion accounting scandal, Franklin D. Raines has been quietly constructing a new life for himself. He has shaved eight points off his golf handicap, taken a corner office in Steve Cases D.C. conglomeration of finance, entertainment and health-care companies and more recently, taken calls from Barack Obamas presidential campaign seeking his advice on mortgage and housing policy matters.
BY LINDA DAVIDSON THE WASHINGTON POST (I was honestly shocked that the WaPo had not purged there site yet since this was not really a news story - more of a 'where are they now' piece.
Now - he may not be a 'formal' advisor, but the link is there.
One other thought - do NOT let them make a stink about how close the link is between Raines and Obama - and use that flap as a smoke screen to make us forget about Johnson!
Bump and bookmarked, that is if I can ever find my bookmarks again with this new format, arggggg.

Does this mean he is out of work?
They will very soon. My belief is while the McCain campaign will allude to this they are waiting until the first debate (on the economy, Sept. 26, 8 days away) to start the onslaught. In the meanwhile they are letting Obama lay out his general strategy to the issue and then will hang him with those statements/positions plus McCain's being out front with his 2005 bill, statements from the likes of Barney Frank, Mudd, Raines etc. plus money Obama received in only four years to take second place in Fannie Mae money in just four years of 19 years that took Dodd to be King and Kerry to place bronze.
