Obama in this video, addressing his work with ACORN litigation relating to the community reinvestment act and the failure of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, as they relate to the current real estate and financial crisis, states that, and I quote:

"Subprime lending started out as a good idea, helping Americans buy homes who previously could not afford to. Financial institutions created new financial instruments that could securitize these loans, slice them into finer and finer risk categories, and spread them out among investors and around the country, as well as around the world. In theory, this should have allowed mortgage lending to be less risky, and more diversified."

He further states:

???"The original idea was a good one, which was, lets see if we can distribute risk more broadly, and make it easier to provide loans to people who otherwise might not be able to get one."

Listen for yourself. You cannot dispute the mans on words recorded live:

Obama in this second video is campaigning at a convention of Acorn and I believe two other "Community Activist" organizations. Ask if he will be their ally if he becomes President, Obama says, quote:

???Yes, but let me say that before I even get inaugurated, during the transition we are going to be calling all of you in to help us shape the agenda. We???re going to be having meetings all across the country with community organizations so that you have input into the agenda for the next presidency of the United States of America.

See and hear it for yourself. Obama promised that Acorn and other groups like it will setting his agenda if elected:

Stating that Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act wasn't what caused the meltdown, and noting that "economists on both sides of the political spectrum have suggested that the act has probably made the crisis less severe than it might otherwise have been."

Below is a link to C-SPAN video clips of the Congressional hearings at roughly the time McCains attempt at S.190. to fix Fannie and Freddie. See for yourself who said what.

(oops!) stating that Freddie Mac was spending tax payer money to target Republicans in 2005 who were trying to regulate Fannie and Freddies fraud. Democrats were not targeted, as the were all in the tank with Fannie and Freddie to kill the regulations. Hear that, the article admits that Republicans were trying to regulate Freddie and Fannie, and Democrats were trying to stop it from happening as a means to facilitate the Community Reinvestment Act.

They may have spent $150000 on clothing but in reality look at the clothes these people where. How much do you think Obama spends on himself and his wife. Both Parties spend a lot of money. Private jets and 5 star hotels. Thats not necessary. Obama said everybody needs to tighten the belt but I bet he is not sleeping in a Super 8 Motel. So come on there are a lot more important things than money spent on clothing.

I love all of you irrational dem posters. What is funny is that successful people laugh at you, all day long. You, who couldn't make it in the freest country with the most opportunity on earth. No matter if obama is pres, you will still fail in life. It will change nothing. You do realize that? You will just go on being the leach your are. Looking for a handout. Looking to blame someone for your misery. Face up, you're just broken, and only you can change that. Nice group of people you associate with.

Now, with the Nov. 4 general election still 12 days away, the front-running Illinois senator is planning an Election Night celebration that could put his Invesco Field party to shame.

A huge stage is being constructed in Chicago's Grant Park, where Obama hopes to declare victory before a cheering throng that could dwarf the one at the Democratic convention. Back then, "only" 80,000 fans were in attendance that night. This time, it could be hundreds of thousands in the park and its surroundings -- closer to Berlin in July than Denver in August.

The Chicago Sun-Times reports the price tag of the fanfare has been pegged at $2 million, to be picked up by the Obama campaign. Mayor Richard Daley reportedly suggested Obama use a cheaper venue, but was turned down.

You're right I can't debate someone full of hate like you. Re: multi-million dollar elitist pillhead. Did you hear someone say God bless you sometime "buddy". Do you think your candidate has kicked his drug habit buddy? Do you think he got his $800,000 worth from Acorn buddy? Do you wonder why he seems to be hiding his anti-American wife buddy? You really are good for a laugh.

Who is going to vet Obama? MSNBC, CNN, NPR, NBC, ABC, CBS, The New York Times, The L.A. Times etc. etc. All in the tank for Senator Obama. They had time to torment the Palins. Well kiddies, I've had all the fun I can baiting hysterical liberals. You guys are way to easy. No wonder you've been mesmerized by Obama. Have to go make some more money for Barack to give away. Bye
