The link below contains a purported list of the top 25 in Congress who got contributions from the folks at Fannie and Freddie. Obama is listed third, after Dodd and Kerry, even though Obama is just a junior Senator. Obama is followed next by Clinton. Barney Frank and Nancy Pelosi are on the list as well.

Then there is the Senate Banking Committee Chairman Christopher J. Dodd who allegedly got special mortgage deals from Countrywide, who gave preferential rates to 'friends' of company's chairman.

For an interesting article purporting to detail the House Financial Services Committee Chairs long history with Fannie Mae, See http://www.businessandmedia.org/printer/2008/20080924145932.aspx

"House Financial Services Committee Chair promoted GSEs while former 'spouse' was Fannie Mae executive."

The link below describes how some in Congress tried to use the original version of the bailout bill to divert money eventually recovered to groups like ACORN, a group Obama has a long association with. See:

And then there is House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who allegedly has directed nearly $100,000 from her political action committee to her husband's real estate and investment firm.

Biden lied the most. He definitely lied about Obama not saying he would sit down with Preseident of Iran without pre-conditions. I heard Obama say that myself. He lied about the current Administration being responsible for the economic conditions. The Democrats are directly responsible for this crisis. It started with Democratic deregulation under Clinton and continued with the Democratic Congress voting down President Bush and the Republicans bills to regulate Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Wall Street. Obama went right along with Barney Frank and Senator Dodd and Schumer in defeating any regulation. Besides Obama has direct connections with Acorn who pushed and pushed the unqualifeid mortgages on banks. Obama even trained Acorn people on how to push the bad loans. Biden lied and lied. Biden lies about the war. He and Obama contends that we lost the war and won't admit that we won the surge which McCain was for. He is just stupid to lie on things that the American People know to not be the truth.

A problem with having only one vice-presidential debate, is that both candidates can play fast-and-loose with the facts, and know that they will not be questioned about this in a subsequent debate.

As Gov. Palin so eloquently put it during the VP debate on Thusday: Sen. Obama wants to ???waive the white flag of defeat??? in Iraq. I think most Americans, right of left of the aisle, do not want that to happen. Regardless of whether or not you supported the war at its onset, not to mention the debacle it transitioned into before Gen. Petreaus got there, we are clearly winning now. The terrorists are on the run, safety is improving, and if we don???t get it right this time, we???ll probably have to go back 10 years from now to fix it anyways. It???s like snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. Iraq has been doing well lately and it would be crime to let the lawlessness that has reigned for the last 3 years loose once again to ravage the country and its people.

Palin went on to point out that Obama is insistent on pursuing ???dangerous??? foreign policies and remains ???naive??? when it comes to the ways of the world. Imagine what people would say about anyone else promoting a 16 month withdraw plan for well over 18 months, and then saying that no revisions were necessary? That sounds pretty naïve to me. Obama says that we must win in Afghanistan, which to him is the central front on the War on Terror (the Generals in the military disagree), and not necessarily Iraq. I can't imagine how we could possibly win in Afghanistan if we capitulate in Iraq. That is a very dangerous thinking.

I think Palin made the decision that voters face this year very clear. Vote for a winner, or vote for a loser.

The NE published details about an alleged SP extramarital affair with name and photo in front page. If not true why is not SP suing NE?

An assessment by health care economists published last month in the journal Health Affairs projected McCain's plan would lead 20 million people to lose their employer-sponsored insurance. But it also found that 21 million people would gain coverage through the individual market.
Do you know what individual insurance means? You are on your own and they can hike your insurance for no reason. Last year I was paying 900.00/month for 2 adults and they hiked it to 1600.00/month a 700.00 increase out of the blue....luckily I had other choices but not everyone have choices and may have just to drop it and have no insurance. And do not dare to be sick, then they hike you until you drop it and forget renewal!
We should not have hospitals and pharmaceuticals making billions in profit and people dying without healthcare. GO SELL SHOES if you want to make money. Health should not be a BIG BUSINESS for profit ONLY!!!!! Pre-existing conditions should be eliminated! Many employers do check your medical record (believe it or not) before hiring you and you may be denied employment just even because your spouse or children may even been in a hospital for the minor reason or risk!!!! Certainly you will not know why you were not selected...it is secret corruption like everything this days!
We are talking about LIFE here folks, where are your values?

I think a debate is a debate and if the candidate choose not to respond the question and fill in with talking points then he/she should not be given the option of responding because time is up. It should be mentioned that the candidate did not responded to the question.

If you go to take an exam and you do not know the response and instead you fill the blank with whatever you want, regardless if correct or not, that question gets no point and lowers your final grade.

I think Biden should have said that the debate was about answering the moderator???s questions not whatever she wanted and every time Palin ducked a question, he should have said (or the moderator): I guess you do not know the answer....you did not answer the question.....

If you look the debate again and you remove everything that was not asked, you will realize how poor she performed. And those questions that were answered had no depth or substance. This looked more like the convention speech repeating talking points than a true debate.

People say they are tired of cultural war BUT they fall into it. Just turn the TV every time their is a dirty attack and you will see if the power of people is not greater!!!!
Look at the 2 recent debates, both Obama and Biden were sober, poised, educated , YES PRESIDENTIAL, and McCain and Palin were just like 2 barking chihuahua, attacking and lying. See how different both administration would be..............

LET S TURN THE TV OFF EVERYBODY EVERY TIME McCAIN RUNS A DIRTY AD!!!.....WE THE PEOPLE WAN A CLEAN AND HONORABLE CAMPAIGN!!!!!

With this election, The idea of the first African American President or the Oldest President ever elected to begin a term , if God forbid something was ever to happen to either one of them , who the Vide President is , has never been more important. We already have become a World joke under George Bush. Its time for the world to stop laughing at us.

Do people think like Palin did a great performance? Most of them say she just did "alright". She did her homework and memorized her lines. That's it..! Is she ready to be President of the USA, in case needed? Not for a minute... Do we want a VP who is just "alright". No, we need someone who is outstanding. Biden was outstanding yesterday. The logic is simple! Don't conform with just "alright". Just because she barely managed to "survive" and considering the expectations were really low, means NOTHING. By the way, McCain finished 894 out a class of 899 in the Naval Academy. Mediocre people think alike? Maybe... WE NEED THE BEST OF THE BEST!

McCain should give republicans their money back... McCain's whole campaign is a big circus, going from stunt to stunt. His choice for VP, Sarah Palin is a huge joke. The only thing she's good at, is with non-answers, dodging questions and throwing "keywords" over and over again (of course adding a wink every so often, like in a beauty pageant). McCain owes the country an explanation for putting his political calculations in front of the country. She is not ready to be VP or President in case needed. Obama has shown better leadership and in addition, Joe Biden looks, acts and is more than prepared to be Vicepresident of the USA.

WOW! Someone said that Obama in not qualified to be president? Hilarious! I think that he's more qualified than McCain and definitely more qualified than Palin. Everyone, compare McCain's record with Obama's.

McCain's student record (894 out of 899 in the Naval Academy and who actually got in the Academy using his dad's and grand-daddy's CONNECTIONS since they were both admirals). Oh, by the way, how come McCain got to fly (and recklessly crash) 5 planes if he finished at the bottom of his class? Answer: daddy and gran-daddy connections! After coming back from war, he CHEATED his first wife (since she didn't look all the good after a terrible accident) and married a millionaire who paid for his expenses to get in the Senate. Besides being a POW, which DOES NOT automatically qualify you to be president, he is empty. How many POWs do we have here in the US? Hundreds! That's a HUGE FALLACY, and has no logic. He has no relevant INTELLECTUAL accomplishments! Nothing.

Obama, who wasn't born with a silver spoon like McCain and studied his tail off, is a graduate of Columbia University, has a law degree from Harvard, Editor of the Harvard Law Review, 12 years in politics, four years on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and manager of one of the most impressively flawless and forward thinking presidential campaigns ever.

Obama is far, far more qualified and smart than McCain AND Palin combined! Obama has knowledge, judgment, and yes, some experience in politics as he has proven during the campaign and the debate. In case needed, we have Joe Biden who can provide his huge experience. McCain on the other hand has Sarah Palin who can memorize lines and repeat them like a parrot and... a great smile! Can we trust her? Not a minute!

Yes, we it comes to this election Obama and Biden ARE THE BEST TICKET, BY FAR. Period.
