MSNBC ^ | March 20, 2009

[Free ThinkerNY]

"Maybe the President's not up to speed with what's going on but I think it's going to have to be clarified."

[Past Your Eyes]

{Maybe the President's not up to speed}
Ya think?

[MrB]

When Maxine Waters notices that you’re clueless, you’ve got a serious problem.

[SkyDancer]

Up to speed??? HUH???

[domenad]

You make sure you attack that president, Ms. Waters, so he doesn’t investigate how you siphoned TARP funds to your hubby’s bank.

[Jeff Chandler]

I just spewed coffee on my keyboard, LOL!

Maxine Waters commenting on someone else not being up to speed?

[utahagen]

Whatever Maxine Waters's motives in criticizing Obama, I love it!

[MrB]

What was that quote...

if you’re going to try to kill the king, you’d better kill the king

[HighlyOpinionated]

When Maxine is as culpable for the Fannie and Freddie debacle as Barney, Chris, Nancy, and Harry and SHE has something to say about 0bama? This is getting good.

[MrB]

And by that quote, I mean to POLITICALLY “kill the king”.

[LtKerst]

Maxine Waters is a Commie rat

The Pot calling the kettle Black.

[remaxagnt]

atleast maxine has more company now

[Spok]

Earth to Maxine: The One’s agenda has nothing to do with uprighting the economy and everything to do with establishing the United States of Obama. The only thing the O Man has to worry about is wrecking the economy’s ability to self-correct, which it will most likely do despite the harm he’s inflicted.

[domenad]

Too late. The SS is on its way to get you.

[MrB]

AND I was referring to what Maxine was doing to ol’ Barry...

of course, that won’t stop the harrassment, I’m sure.

[teancumspirit]

Interesting, everytime I try to log on to the web site, says page no longer available.

[Dapper 26]

Proof again that a broken clock is right at least twice a day.

[Bookwoman]

It’s official, folks - Hell has frozen over. Has to be if I’m agreeing with Maxine Waters!

[Syncro]

When Maxine is as culpable for the Fannie and Freddie debacle as Barney, Chris, Nancy, and Harry and SHE has something to say about 0bama? This is getting good.

The irony is delicious. Here's A Quote:

3. OneUnited Bank–an Internet bank in Massachussetts which got $12 mn in TARP funds after the intervention of Reps. Frank and  Maxine Waters–has a CEO who was sanctioned by the bank’s regulator for excessive compensation and using bank money for his personal gain (a Porsche, lush property in California, etc).  We are going to tax CEOs of some TARP recipients if they get over a certain amount, but give TARP money to CEOs that have a history of excessive compensation to themselves.

Barney Frank and Mad MAXine in an obvious pay-for-play incident.

They gave $12 Million to a guy to live a lavish lifestyle on money from people that have lost their life savings and any chance of retiring comfortably.

These people, who are in jobs they were elected to so they could serve the interests of the American people.

They should be arrested, tried and jailed.

Maxine Waters... Waters.. that name is familiar. Oh yah!

"According to Richard Simon and E. Scott Reckard of The LA Times, Rep. Maxine Waters, one of Los Angeles' most enduring liberal politicians, has come under scrutiny because of bailout funds that went to a bank in which her husband had owned stock and served on the board.Waters was a senior member of the congressional committee dealing with the financial crisis when OneUnited Bank -- one of the nation's largest minority-owned institutions -- received $12 million in bailout funds.

Her husband, Sidney Williams, served on the bank board until early last year and held at least $500,000 in investments in the bank in 2007, the most recent year for which public financial disclosure statements are available.A month before Congress enacted the bailout program, Waters helped set up a meeting between the chief executive of the bank, representatives of other financial institutions and Treasury officials."When a member of the financial services committee calls, you pay special attention," said Jeb Mason, who was a high-ranking Treasury official last fall."

That Maxine Waters!
