Who said these statements:

"Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and the federal Home Loan Banks—the government-sponsored corporations that handle home mortgages—will increase their commitment to minority markets by more than $440 billion,

"Last year I set a goal to add 5.5 million new minority homeowners in America by the end of the decade. That is an attainable goal; that is an essential goal. And we're making progress toward that goal. In the past 18 months, more than 1 million minority families have become homeowners. (Applause.) And there's more that we can do to achieve the goal. The law I sign today will help us build on this progress in a very practical way."

"Freddie Mac recently began 25 initiatives around the country to dismantle barriers and create greater opportunities for homeownership. One of the programs is designed to help deserving families who have bad credit histories to qualify for homeownership loans."

All were George W. Bush. He has been a part of many of our problems from immigration to spending and now the financial crisis. We expect as much out of the Dems, but George has not been on our side.

Thanks George.

Special measures must be taken to insure that Barney Frank does not enjoy his prison sentence.

Perhaps put him in solitary to keep him away from the population he so desires.

The very suggestion must make Dick Durbin compare me to gestapo, Russians in their gulag, or some fiendish dictator, Pol Pot or that woman from The Weakest Link.

Agreed. And I am so sick of these RATS not being held accountable for the things they do!

I’ve been reading Sowell for years. It is uncanny that every column he has written in that time has been a home run. This one is no exception.

The man is a national treasure.

BTW, the very first thing I should have said on this thread last night, was THANK YOU to the HOUSE REPUBLICANS. They have been standing between us and those who have been pushing us (and the WORLD) into socialism for over 40 years, quite a tremendous burden. GOD BLESS THEM. They need every ounce of our support. : )

Heh, I loved the look on the little boy's face! That is originally a large graphic, could be good for putting something else there.
