McConnell is Bob Dole without the pizzazz, flair and excitement...lol
Some would say since World Savings was a portfolio lender (NOT Fannie/Freddie) Wachovia created their own mess.
... and a Kentucky Ping.
Wasn’t a Soros group waiting in the wings to take over IndyMac after Chuck Schumer “just happened” to mention they were in trouble and tanked.
Exactly!
Harry reed gets his people to vote his way along with 3 of ours. Fire Mitch get someone who can control his party.

Democrats are easy to control.
Good point. They have been lying in wait and are coming at us from all directions now.
Depends on how you define "green jobs." Are they counting the jobs to weather proof government buildings?
“Green” investments are the new dot-com bubble, funded with “stimulus” money.

One of Obama’s appointees, Doerr, has argued in favor of a massive diversion of taxpayer dollars to green tech. In March 2007, Doerr gave a speech at the TED conference approvingly citing Al Gore’s views on global warming. “I’m really scared—I don’t think we’re going to make it,” Doerr said. “There is a time when panic is the appropriate response. And we’ve reached that time.”
Three years ago, Kleiner Perkins created a $100 million green tech fund, which has invested in technologies including solar cells, fuel cells, smart grid, ethanol, and synthetic fuels. Not-so-coincidentally, Doerr has lobbied for laws at the state level—and, more recently, as part of the “stimulus” proposal—that would benefit his portfolio by moving toward smart grid, solar, and other technology.
Didn't you get the memo? They won.
Sadly, we couldn’t make this nightmare up.
You're wrong. Mitch believes inaction is not the solution, but cutting taxes is the solution. How is that a problem? Are you a liberal too?
Soros with two huge hudge fund managers Flowers and John Paulson (no relation). Flowers made mega money shorting mortgages secs. They killed it with Schumers help then got it free from Uncle Sam with tax loss carry forwards forever.
Doerr is buddies with Gore. They manipulated the dot bomb explosion with the help of investment banks like Goldman Sachs and John Corzine at the time. They did it on the IPO date.
It is one scam after another.
Yes - check out comment #22 here where I connected some disturbing dots back in October '08: Bill gives Paulson unprecedented power
9. Warren Buffet = major investor in Goldman Sachs for $5 billion (he said to Maria Bartiromo on CNBC that he would only have made investment if he knew a taxpayer bailout would be approved). He took perpetual preferred shares with a dividend yield of 10%, or $500 million a year. Those dividends take precedence over other payments to common shareholders. Seems like a sweet deal. Why didn’t Paulson consider this approach? Maybe because it doesn’t provide a door for his investment buddies to get their preferred shares, it only helps the taxpayer…?
10. Warren Buffet = insurance company investor (GEICO, General RE, etc.)
and... none of that was illegal... IMHO there is no difference, however, than insider trading.
