Ping to Sarah's Awesome List.
One day the Ignorant Masses of this country will beg for a leader like Sarah.
And She is 100% justified in just laughing in their faces.

Back in September of 2008, Sarah Palin spoke at a Colorado Springs rally. During her address, she lamented the all-encompassing power of government sponsored mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. She argued that a potential McCain administration would rein the companies in. As she put it:
“John McCain has been calling for years to reform things and cut bureaucracy, even at the lending agencies that our government supports. The fact is Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have gotten too big and too expensive to the taxpayers. The McCain-Palin administration will make them smaller and smarter and more effective for homeowners who need help.”
She was, of course, pilloried for this. Virtually every mainstream media outlet pounced, accused her of ignorance, and reminded the American people that these were not taxpayer funded entities. Taxpayers simply weren’t a factor.
Then, under Barack Obama, taxpayers proceeded to dump $180 billion into Fannie and Freddie.
Now, even Obama himself is acknowledging that Palin had it right back in ’08. No, he doesn’t mention her by name, but his remarks during a recent “home ownership” address are telling.
Obama basically reiterated Palin’s comments, ...:

That was the slam on Palin. What’s different here?
Oh yeah. I forgot. They’re not out to destroy Obama, and Palin was right all along.
History will vindicate Sarah — and history is being written in the next three years!!
Ping for (another) Palin Vindication
While he has his axe out there are some other agencies that need to be lopped.
He should ask her if she wants to be a full-time advisor.
Of course she was right.
Obama wisely embraces Sarah Palin’s mortgage advice - pushes to end Fannie and Freddie
Obama "wisely".... Let's just stop right there. Obama has never done one thing in office "wisely" because he surrounds himself with communist cannibals who want to eat Americas' heart out from the inside. In any meeting Obama ever has he is the least qualified and biggest idiot in the room (unless plugs is attending and then it's a tossup). Wisdom? Really? I think not.
Now that being said, can anyone here name one thing Obama has done that has benefited America? That has made us stronger? that hasn't weakened us in some way or another. My guess would be no one can name even one thing. However, one thing Obama constantly does with every word out of his mouth and every action he does is play politics. America with no help from people like myself made him a two term president but he still acts like he's a victim of (fill in the blank). Every failure and there are a multitude of failures are all laid at the feet of a scapegoat, because Obama wants only to be adored and loved and cherished and dare I say worshiped? All politics, all the time.
Obama and his commies makes me and liberty loving Americans want to puke. Anyone who still thinks he's good for America isn't worth even having a discussion with at this point. they've sold there soul to the devil.
Sure we do want Fanny and Freddy to go away forever but to think that Obama has done anything out of 'wisdom' is just a complete joke.
Sorry, but when BHO speaks common sense, he’s lying to distract and make himself seem acceptably competent to sucker in Boehner & the RINO coalition.
Is he proposing that people should go directly to the government for a mortgage?

Not quite.
Under the plan the same rules used by Fannie and Freddie would be forced on private banks.
Could be, doc phoc...
He’s gonna want to give them to a conglomerate of democrat investors and will head the group after he leaves office. They will make it so dependent on government that it will eventually need to be taken over only after they milked it for billions and run it into the ground giving away free stuff to people who can’t actually pay it back. Another multi-trillion dollar boondoggle in the making.
Private ownership but government control?
That's Fascism!
Absolutely great post!
If fannie and freddie have served the regimes political needs you can be sure there will be something else created by big communist govt. to take their place. That’s just how it works.We fail to see who or what we are up against.
Though I agree with Obama on this issue....I can’t help but think he really has something up his sleeve...
I take nothing at face value with this POS....there is always a down side .....even when it looks like the unicorns are pooping skittles....
See geronL’s post at #12. Getting rid of fannie/Freddie is Palin’s contribution. Forcing the same requirement on banks is the Obama poison with a twist of irony.
And, of course since Governor Palin is hitting the Republicans on their failures as well, the Republicans are all for the success of the Obama/NSA plan.
Expect to see Obama's press secretary to regularly say, "we already thought of that, and made a statement on it, nothing new to see here, move along".
Gee, I never would have guessed...LOL
