While the two presidential candidates, Senators John McCain and Barack Obama, prepare for their second debate on Oct. 7 at Belmont University in Nashville, Tom Brokaw gets to sift through questions submitted by you. In addition to queries from a group randomly selected by the Gallup organization, Brokaw will be fielding questions submitted online at mydebates.org, the site created by the Commission on Presidential Debates and Myspace. The focus of the town hall-style debate will be domestic and foreign policy, Brokaw's specialties.
Doing okay... yup... just hit Obama on getting lots of cash from FM/FM.
He did it....Obama sitting back there smirking!! Grrr.
Direct HIT!!
Still telling us the bailout package was good but not enough...
Obama getting second highest fannie and freddie campaign contributions. People getting loans that they shouldn’t have. Some stood up, some didn’t.
Alright McCain!
hit 0bama on freedie and fannie mac!
Go John Go! Slapped Obama on the FMFM deal.
And mentions that 0 is the second biggest recipient of fanny/freddy. Heh! Love it!
NOOOO! No buying of bad loans! Good freeking grief!~
I thought the same thing at first....
but did you hear the rest of it....
actually it would be the quickest fix to the crisis...
but damn-- he left out the part of bringing some folks from Wall Street and introducing them to the State Pen.....
ARG!
But now he is going after the Freddie and Fannie debacle....and how he rang the alarm......
sigh.....we all know better than to expect a homerun outta McCain....
He's a bit more in his element.
I wish someone would ask Obama what he's actually DONE for the middle class...
Finally he gets down to the root of the problem: lending practices required by the Dems and collusion between Dims (Obama) and the Mae twins.
WHOOHOO! SAY IT AGAIN MCCAIN!
He said it! Wow! Finally!
Is it my imagination or is the selection of people for this Townhall largely middle-age. Where are all those new young voters.
Not as bad as you think. Economically speaking, the American voter is an idiot. McCain doesn’t hurt anything by mentioning the highest-profile American investor there is — never mind that, like most super-rich, he’s a socialist dildo.
Embracing Illegals
Companies are getting hooked on the buying power of 11 million undocumented immigrants

“The result is a hot new market in the making. With hundreds of thousands of illegal alien households earning enough to qualify for $95,000 mortgages, according to the National Association of Hispanic Real Estate Professionals, ITIN and conventional mortgages taken out by illegals could be worth as much as $60 billion over the next five years. That's pushing big banks such as JPMorgan Chase & Co. (JPM ) to examine the market and upping pressure on mortgage buyers Fannie Mae (FNM ) and Freddie Mac (FRE ) to create a secondary market for ITIN loans.”
[Note: This was 2005 data.]
He’s smirking cuz he knew it was coming and probably has a nice smartass reply. McCain was on the right path but better get SHARPER.
