He's quibbling here. It's not specific to today's Fannie and Freddie debt crisis.
Not anymore. The collective of Islamic extremist are the greatest threat. Alquada has been greatly deminished by our fantastic military and intelligence services.
"Two years ago I warned that because of the subprime lending mess, because of the lax regulation that we were potentially going to have a problem and tried to stop some of the abuses and mortgages that were taking place at the time. Last year I wrote to the secretary of the treasury, uh, to make sure that he understood the magnatude of this problem and to call on him to, uh, bring all of the stake holders together to try to deal with it."
Yeah, the messiah giving the Sec'y of the Treasury a clinic on the financial status of the country. What a joke.
No McCain didn’t screw up.
Obama was not in the US Senate at the time - he was in the Illinois State Senate.
Obama’s speech was heard by all of about 12 of the unwashed leftists in Chicago.
Also, we were welcomed in Iraq as liberators, I have friends that were there.
Trying to figure out how freeing 50,000,000 people from 2 of the most bloodthirsty regimes in history lowered our standing in the world.
We did find wmd, just not the huge stockpiles that saddam admitted that he had and that the un cataloged. Where are they? (Syria, Lebanon, Iran)
Huge Gaffe by Obama:
He couldn’t mention one thing he’d cut from the budget in response to the “bailout.”
Not one. His response was all gobbledygook and Lehrer even called him on it.
Liar Liar pants on fire. He talked about invading and bombing Pakistan last winter.
No, it’s not specific to today’s Fannie/Freddie issues.
I’d like to see that letter to the Secretary of the Treasury, wouldn’t you?
PS. Don’t you love it when we can call the news jerks to do their jobs by pointing out all this nosense that Obama spouted.
Also, I have a bracelet too!
Ahhhh errh aahh Good ole what’s his name:

That one is HUGE! Musab al Zarqawi was in Iraq well before the war and was training on airline takedowns and on mixing up a batch of ricin.
Musab al Zarqawi was al qaeda's leader in Iraq for a couple of years.
**His final statement about America losing our standing in the world was truly offensive.**
I wanted to cry when I heard that. All from a man who won’t even salute the flag or stand at attention with hand over heart during the national anthem.
Obama is a disgrace.
Well, McCain called him on it. Immediately...I caught it...because it was so brief...I wonder if others caught it...
No, Obama is streeetching the truth
**He couldn’t mention one thing he’d cut from the budget in response to the “bailout.”**
Good point. I still have to listen to the first part. Was getting home from church.
That’s what I thought I said. ;-)
maybe someone can help me here.
It was toward the end of the debate and Lehrer asked Obama a question (forgot the question)
Obama started (what I thought was) an incoherent rant that began with Afganistan talking points, moved onto statements about China being in places all over the world where we weren’t, and wound up on some domestic issue.
Maybe I’m just tired, but I turned to hubby and said “what the hell is he talking about?”
I literally was hearing, “blah, blah,blah, Afganistan,blah, blah, blah, China, blah,blah,blah, 8 years of George Bush...”
Anyone know what I’m talking about?
Fox IS rerunning it RIGHT NOW!
lol, yeah, I have thousands of copies of that exact letter in cardboard boxes wrapped in packages of 500!
He dodged several questions by beating around the bush like that and then calling up domestic programs.
