I hope he’s got something sane to say - up til now all I’ve heard is CYA and assorted rhetoric.
My prayer is that someone- ANYONE- will stand up and tell us the TRUTH.
I miss Reagan.
LATE EDITION (CNN) : Douglas Holtz Eakin, adviser to John McCain; Austan Goolsbee, adviser to Barack Obama; former Rep. Rob Portman, R-Ohio.; Gene Sperling, former Clinton administration economic adviser; Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas.
Blitzer “the race is close” [ = Obama is losing, Wolfe just can’t bring himself to admit it]
Great synopsis! Thank you!
My bet is that both candidates will stray from foreign policy quickly to debate the economic problems. McCain should say that his rant was for the working man who was being used by the Wall street sharks. He should also try to pin Obama down on what plan he has to lead the economy as president and what his past positions were or were not. I wont give any advice to Obama.
oOOoohhh what time is dinner, looks great!
You just want the leg I know you...
Last time most Americans paid attention to English politics, the monarch was involved in day to day politics. Of course that was George III. By the way,
GO MANCHESTER UNITED -- BUY AMERICAN!
One on one, alone, an elected Dem here admitted they are in disarray and have lost the momentum they once had in CO. Now they are trying to figure a way to get it back.
Yes - when the housing market went south and foreclosures started piling up, the holders of these securities couldn't value them, as the mortgages had been sliced and diced so much in the process of turning them into securities. So now, nobody wants to take the risk of buying them - they have a market value of zero, even though the underlying value may be okay.
NOt too surprising, we do a lot here that is picked up everywhere,great place to be.
Naw, give me the right wing.
Good points and I think you’re correct.
Schumer the Sadist spent his last moments attacking McCain and the Republicans.
But, surprisingly, Kyl was given a few seconds to reply.
Kyl pointed out that, since 2002, Schumer and the Democrats have resisted reform regarding Fannie Mae. And Kyl's last comment was that Schumer wanted to delay putting in a "regulator" until next year.
I want to beat the crap out of Wolfie.
what is with George Will??
he is the new Obama attack dog on McCain!
With friends like this...
That CRA date of 1977 is correct when this all began but there’s some fine tuning.
When this nonsense first became “law” the notion was that banks, business entities allowed to exist BECAUSE of the federal government, should be required to plow back some of their profit back into the “community”.
For many, many years, that “plow back” consisted of refurbishing inner cities, creating inner-city “malls”, new and improved waterfronts, sports centers....that type of thing.
I used to work for a company that existed only to, get this, locate places that needed “community reinvestment” and help banks finance and oversee such development.
It could be in 1999 that the Black Caucus, a group that supports that nut in Haiti by the way, got the wild-eyed notion that Community Reinvestment requirements could also be satisfied by giving home loans to those who wouldn’t normally quality. Like Cyndi the Stripper and her live-in love...Pete her pimp.
Of course then was required to have “community organizers” go out in the world, in the form of Jessie’s Rainbow Coalition and Obama’s ACORN. These new millenium mortgage brokers looked under rocks and in attics for anyone who might want to buy a nice ghetto falling apart house, maybe “flip” it for great prophet. Interesting, this sort of thing happened mostly in Ohio and Florida, two key electoral states.
Before the public has to underwrite this mess, a mess any fool with a brain could see coming, some folks should go to jail. Give me one simple reason why a gubmint entity should be giving campaign contributions to ANY candidate.
No. It’s not the fault of the Dems, no it’s not.
The Dems took advantage of an opportunity to get money from the public trough for their own fine, fine campaigns and what’s wrong with this?
Stuff like this goes on because the OPPOSITION party has not a single gonad amongst them and ALLOWS it to go on.
This is White Water on steroids.
I’m furious. Once again we had the wool pulled over our eyes and once again we paid to elect politicos who would be nowhere save for their thievery.
We got to find some guys out there with testiculars and elect them to the GOP. Or find some new Sarah Palins.
I blame the Republicans for this. They knew what was going on and they sat back and winked. Many of them were in on it.
We now effectively have a dictatorship with many or our elected representatives smiling and cheating us and we CAN’T GET RID OF THEM!
Heh.
Besides....not a single word of that statement is true.
I know.
This Week: George Will is the panel member who is most critical of John McCain, although Sam Donaldson thinks that McCain needs to be more moderate and not lose his temper. Maybe George Will needs to go back to his bow-tie and reduce the circulation a little.
