ping for a proposed project
ping - you had a good essay a week ago on Obama’s earmark - wanna run that topic?
Count me in.
Great! This is not going to be a structured, rigid exercise. There is just too much Dem corruption to cover for that.
Great idea. I’ll see what I can find...or at least pull up from other folks’ research (with accreditation, of course).
Graphics I will look for:
The Dow Jones average when President Bush took office, through now - with emphasis on how far it fell since the Democrats took over...
The cost of oil and gas for the first six years of the Bush administration (with a Republican House and a mostly Republican Senate), and then the doubling of gas and tripling of oil since the Democrats lied their way into the majority in both houses...

Great addition - you want to run with that one?
Sure
We need to add Penny Pritzker(Ponzi Penny) to this list. She is Obama’s finance chairman and she is up to her neck in the Mortgage meltdown.
A few of us are following her connections and might be able to help.
Here is a good overview:

Another one I just found:

While the ABDNC is lynching a 17 yr old pregnant girl they continue to ignore corruption from their candidate for the 20th election in a row. In January 2005 the day that Obummer was sworn in as senator, angry Michelle was given a $200,000 raise as a new position was invented to hide this benefit. Turns out that the bribes from Tony Rezko were peanuts compared to the grease that was being spread by the University of Chicago Hospital. Eventually that salary was paid by us as Barak was able to get an earmark for the Hospital of $1,000,000. Guess some of us are just too cynical to be Commiecrats?
Seems that Saint Change is the same ol politician in the District of Corruption. While our ever vigilent press are being sexual voyeurs in the Palin family, it turns out that the Oblack family was up to their necks in Bribes. January of 2005 when Black Whiteguilt Oblack stole his senate seat in the usual Chicago style, Michelle was given a title and her salary suddenly nearly tripled. She went that month from hospital administrator making $121,000 to a brand new position called Vice President of Community Affairs making $317,000. Now that she has left the hospital the phony position has been dropped from the hospital. Apparently Change is very lucrative in the DC swamp.
There is no way to tell what exactly the hospital got for their $200,000/yr bribe since the hospital can’t say what she did, but we can guess that there was plenty of favors. There is one admitted earmark that Obummer had to divulge when he entered the Presidential race for $1,000,000 for a hospital pavillion. Such a Coincidence that it would pay for his wife’s salary for 3 years. Wonder if that pavillion was ever built. Some things never Change other than the amounts when it comes to corruption.
When the hospital was asked what the VP of Community Affairs was, nobody could explain it other than some Public Affairs position. This bogus position was invented to pay off the Obamas and is another example of their willingness to take bribes. We know the Italian shoed hired guns made sure there is no proof this is a bribe yet even for Chicago this is obvious. Being a dirty siniator for two years is the sum total of his qualifications and is all we need to know. He and Joe Boredom will be two of the most corrupt politicians to ever occupy the WH. This job will be worth at least a $Billion in bribes and graft for these two crooks.
Sure $200,000 per year is chump Change in DemocRat terms, but there is no such thing as just a little corrupt, that is like being a little pregnant. Either you are or you aren’t. Between this graft as well as the sweetheart deal with Rezko and his VP who are up to are their necks in bribes and nepotism you have an obvious choice in November. Speaking of old drunks, how big a headache did Obummer have Thursday morning realizing that McCain gets to campaign with a Babe, while he has Uncle Fester. Lets face it Biden looks like an older version of Jack Elum w/the voice of Gabby Hayes. He and Michelle must be dreading the next 60 days in a bus that smells like Grandpa farts.
From here on we have the two real Mavericks vs two entrenched politicians up to their ears in Corruption. One side will begin to destroy the District of Corruption and the other will Float in it hoping to fatten their wallets. One side put the Governor’s private jet on e-bay and the other has taken bribes from Hopitals, sleazy Slum Lords and Hedge Funds. The decision can’t be any more clear.
Now the two issues are: drilling for our own oil and cleaning up corruption. Those are the two winning issues that are clear to all Americans cutting across Republicans and Dems. This is what the Founding Fathers dreamed and now thanks be to God, he has given us a onetime chance. No matter what you think of John McCain, nobody can say he has taken a bribe or ever will. This is the the chance in a lifetime and with the McCuda we can finally start to Drain the DC Swamp.
Pray for W, MavCuda and Our Troops

>>>>Over the last few years, multiple reports of direct enrichment of Democratic elected officials and well-connected insiders have come to light
Here is a few:
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/2086494/posts
Joyce Foundation: Provided grant support to test the market in carbon credits. Barack Hussein Obama sat on their Board from 1998 until 2001.
Chicago Climate Exchange: The Exchange owes it existence in part to the Joyce Foundation, the Chicago-based liberal foundation philanthropy that provided $347,000 in grant support in 2000 for a preliminary study to test the viability of a market in carbon credits. On the CCX board of directors is the ubiquitous Maurice Strong, a Canadian industrialist and diplomat who since the 1970s has helped create an international policy agenda for the environmentalist movement.
Al Gore: Owns a carbon trading business, Generation Investment Management. They were banked with the Lehman Bros. The Generation Investment Management business has considerable influence over the major carbon credit trading firms that currently exist.
Jon Corzine: He is now the Governor of NJ. He retired from Goldman Sachs in 1999 after taking the firm public and receiving at least $320 million worth of its stock. He ran for the Senate in New Jersey in 2000, spending more than $60 million of his fortune to win the seat. The bubble of high-priced technology stocks began to burst in March 2000. In August 2000, the SEC issued a warning against aftermarket sales, also known as “laddering.” “I’ve never even heard the term ‘laddering’ before,” Corzine said.
William Jefferson was even bigger than the $90,000 in the freezer and it was barely reported.
I added more on this thread; but in short:
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1635819/posts?page=29#29
His Netlink business was an affiliate of VeriChip Corporation’s RFID Technology based out of Dubai.
More than the mortgage meltdown.
Penny Pritzker is also the vice-chair of The Chicago Public Education Fund which was built on grant funds from the Annenberg Challenge (Obama again).
Yep...just googled that info and posted it at the WSJ article thread. Just found the motherload here:
Great links and info in story.Thinking about posting it on FR if it hasn’t been already.
A quick question on Chris Dodd’s sweetheart Countrywide mortgage. I have links where he first denied it was a special deal and then admitted it was a special deal but thought it was a good deal for being a good customer - but claims he never requested the deal. I thought I read that it subsequently came out that he did indeed ask for the deal, or was that Conrad? I can’t find documentation for that.
Do you want to start that as a specific thread in this series? It looks like a great addition.
