Vanity: Can we push for Frank, Dodd, Obama to be investigated?
9-30-08 | self

Posted on 09/30/2008 7:11:44 AM PDT by outinyellowdogcountry

We can phone Congress and express our opinion but what else can we do? It drives me crazy that the legislators that are responsible for this debacle are still in charge of the same areas. What can we do about this outrage? Is the web of lies too entertwined in big business and all political parties? I believe if investigated, it would center on these democrats in power now and the CBC. The gate keepers have been very irresponsible and they should suffer the consequences.

Yes. But they will not investigate themselves.

I’ve been talking to our coffee shop circle about this, but it has to start in a non-partisan way.

We have to have all members of congress file a sworn and legal statement on the money that have been given (business or donation) by Fannie and Freddy. They must do this within one week.

We work from there.

I think someone needs to shove a microphone in Obama’s face and ask “Should Rep Frank & Sen Dodd resign for their participation in the Fanniescam?

I like your idea the best, that way, any answer he gives would put him on the spot. Nice thinking, is politics in your future?

Yeah - it doesn’t seem like it would be that hard to do, does it? But when I saw Brit Hume interviewing Obama last week on Special Report, he handled him with kid gloves. If he’s not going to do it, I can’t think of anyone else who will.

Who exactly should we call? I am all for non partisan because its time for cleaning house. This is worse than the House Banking Scandal in my opinion. Tell me who best to call and I will give you the numbers.

This is a matter of public record already. What we need to document is the history of this fiasco, going all the way back to the Carter years and the CRA. Names, dates, who said what, and regarding which legislation.

Yes we can... use this link: http://www.congress.org/congressorg/home/
to get the information you need to contact your senators as well as your congress(wo)man. Tell them what you think.... it wasn't the intestinal fortitude of many of these people that lead them to vote against the bailout yesterday... it was b/c they were FLOODED with constituents, you and me, telling them that they would be out of a job if they did not vote against it!

you are right! Sean Hannity and Bill O Rielly.

Sean showed the tape of the Black Caucus last night, but they need to stay on this and have the regulators who were stopped by the Black Caucus in 2004 on. They also need to reveal Franklin Reigns and his connection to Obama.

This needs to be opened up and the people will judge.

Call for the FBI to work in conjunction with the SEC. I think that would be acceptable. We need to let them know that we will NOT accept their investigation. A fox in the hen-house should NOT be investigated by another fox.

Along with this, we need to DEMAND that the CRA (Community Reinvestment Act) of 1977 be REPEALED.

No, no politics in the future for me, but I enjoy Howie Carr (WRKO), I can see him shoving a mic to his face and asking a trap question, which most of us would love to ask.

It’s sad that those in the media haven’t stepped it up a notch.
