The Obama Show

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.???

??? 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.

http://www.newsweek.com/id/164732 from this web site. (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.

Does education matter?
John McCain-- U.S. Naval Academy, graduated 1958. Officer in Navy, serving as a fighter pilot and a liaison to Congress. He retired from the Navy as a Captain. Senior Senator from Arizona. Ran for president in 2000.

Sarah Heath Palin received a bachelor of science degree in communications-journalism from the University of Idaho in 1987. She was a Major of Wasilla, Alaska for 6 yrs. and is the Governor of Alaska for 2 yrs.

Barack Obama graduated from Columbia University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Political Science with a specialization in international Relations and political science. Attended Columbia University and earned a Juris Doctor (J.D.)from Harvard Law School. Senator from Illinois.



Joe Biden has received a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Delaware with a major in history and political science. He earned a Juris Doctor (J.D.) from Syracuse University College of Law . Biden served 36 years as a Senator from Delaware. He chairs the Foreign Relations Committee and the Judiciary Committee.

Klicker you ought to take another look at just who our troops are voting for and just who our vets reall want to see be the president in November. You won't be surprised cause we and you already know we need a change in the office and it isn't McCain or the possible replacer / takeover Palin. Surprising how many vets really support Obama for his run for President and how they feel he will support them in a positive way.

Obama gets massive amounts of hedge fund money, including GEORGE SOROS, who is probably getting rich off of everyone else's misfortune at this very moment, so I find Obama's invocation of Joe the hedge fund manager to be MORE THAN A LITTLE DISINGENUOUS.

Obama is NOT A STRAIGHT-SHOOTER.

Three surveys -- from the Associated Press-GfK, George Washington University and an Investors Business Daily/TIPP poll - - show McCain closing the gap with Obama.

The AP poll puts Obama at 44 percent to McCain's 43 percent, compared with a 7 percentage point advantage for Obama in their September survey. The GW Battleground poll showed Obama's edge at 2 points, down from 7 points in the middle of October, while the IDB/TIPP tracking survey has the margin for the Democrat narrowing to 1 point from 5 points at the start of the week.

Candidates are rated by veterans.

Disabled Veterans of America (DAV)
Obama 80%
McCain 20%

Iraq and Afghan Vets of America (IAVA)
Obama B+
McCain D

This is why McCain was almost pleading to vets at the end of the second debate. He knows what the score is, and so do we. Actions ,not words, Senator.

This vet is voting for Obama/Biden.

By the way, speaking of TV, I think it's hilarious that the next Prez could owe his office to a TV star. What am I talking about, you might ask? Well, I'll put it as concisely as possible: Obama was legislator from Illinois. No bid deal; the Democratic Party of Cook County (Chicago) supported him. Then...a certain US Senator named Ryan goes into a hostile divorce situation and his wife reveals that he tried to goad her into various sexual activities with strangers. Sen. Ryan resigns, opening up his position. The party anoints Obama for the Democratic nomination and he wins. Hardly into the job, he runs for Prez.

The TV star? Jerri Ryan, aka "Seven of Nine" from Star Trek Voyager. Seriously. It was in the papers here in
Chicago back when Obama was unknown. I think it's kind of amusing---and confusing, too. Why would anyone have wanted to "share" a wife that beautiful?

Anyway, if she doesn't make a public stink for Sen Ryan, he doesn't quit. If he doesn't quit, there's no opening for the US Senate position. And no US Senator Obama. And no Prez Obama---at least not this year...

Bottom line: Jerri Ryan/Seven of Nine changed the American collective's leadership !!! True !!!!!!!!

Obama had better hope that he doesn't piss people off by cutting into their prime time t.v. or pre-game commentary. He might also hope that people don't get the idea that this is just the beginning of him taking over and dominating our lives with his liberal agenda. It's bad enough that we have to listen to campaign ads for a minute or two at a time, 30 minutes will seem like an eternity. People are already sick of it, this may just push them over the edge. Definately risky. We'll see is he gets his $6 million worth.

StevenNavy, you are so right. I freaking laugh at McCain or Palin questioning Obama's character. McCain has so many skeletons in his closet. Let's not talk about Palin and her husband's(He was a member) ties to an Anti-American group, Alaskan Independence Party. Obama has chose to take the high road and keep McCain's and Palin's skeletons in the closet.

If he spends in the White House like he has his campaign.... YIKES!

Obama has already planned a "victory" party, is it "spreading the wealth" message? People should be mad for all the part y-money to be spent, while hundreds of millions are suffering during the economic crisis, the unemployed, the homeless, the elderly and the children. He reminds us of the (filthy rich) party-animals, who happen to dictators of the communist countries such as China, North Korea and Vietnam. Is he still a cigarette-smoking playboy who grew up in Hawaii and Indonesia, or simply an arrogant or cocky man??

Well, for all the lies being spread, I think some of you should think of what the real McCain is like. 1) He ranked 594th in his class at the Naval Academy of 598. (Even GW Bush wasn't that bad!) 2) He returned from Vietnam to find his wife had been horribly hurt in an auto accident. What did he do? He began having "numerous affairs" (his words) and then began an affair with Cindy, whom he eventually married. All this time he left his 3 young children to deal with their mother's injuries and rehabilitation. Nice guy! His first thought when the current meltdown began was that it was caused by too much regulation of the banks and mortgage companies and that they should be further deregulated (see speech of Sept. 23, 2008). He's a real steady guy, isn't he?

Delores, you are living in fantasy land or a parallel universe. Obama hangs with Bill Ayers, even launches his political career from his living room and the press says, no big deal. He hooks up with Tony Rezko for a sweetheart deal on a house, press says no big deal. His pastor of 20 years is a flaming anti America racist bigot and the press says not important. He is the second largest benefactor of Fannie and Freddie when it comes to political contributions, no story here. The former head of Freddie works for his campaign and who cares. His wife sits in a suite in a hotel eating caviar and lobster-let em eat cake-and we're worried about what Sarah Palin's wardrobe, that will be donated to charity, cost. What world are you living in? Name one hard question the fawning press has gone after Obama on, just one. You can lie to everyone else but good grief at least don't lie to yourself.

Obama's piece isn't Hollywood speaking,it is the main street American, man, woman and youth of all religions and colors, including white, voters speaking out and asking and will be getting the changes we need so desperately for ourselves. Want to see how the world views this election look the the latest issue of THE American Heart Beat magazine THE READERS DIGEST NOVEMBER ISSUE on their polls.

If Obama is certain to win this race why is he still spending so much of that money he got from Rezko, and over seas on political ads?

Why won't any one call this what it obviously is - "MONEY LAUNDERING"??
