    People on these bogs are fond of saying that the current economic meltdown was caused by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac underwriting bad mortgages. While Fannie and Freddie obviously are guilty of writing bad mortgages, and worse, guilty of lobbying Congress to allow them to do so with impunity, their actions are just a small piece of the puzzle when it comes to determining who (or what) caused the financial crisis we face today.

    In 1929 the stock market crash caused the banks to fail, because the banks were in bed with the stock market. Back then, banks owned investment houses, so when the stock market fell, the banks fell too. This triggered the Great Depression. So in 1933 the Congress wrote laws that regulated banking, making it illegal for banks to own investment companies, mortgage guaranty companies or insurance companies. The idea was to keep key industries separated by a fire wall, so that if one industry failed the whole economy would not go down in flames.

    But the Republicans under Bush deregulated the banking industry. Senator Phil Gramm wrote legislation (the Gramm Rudman Act, the Gramm Leach Biley Act, etc.) that stripped away the regulations in the financial and insurance industies. He pushed them through the Republican Congress and they were signed into law by Geo. W. Bush. John McCain voted in favor. Everybody said how great it is to deregulate and create free markets.

    Lehman Brothers, Bear Stearns and Merrill Lynch each gave over a million dollars to Senator Gramm's re-election campaign.

    The economic collapse that happened later was a direct result of the deregulation, and here's how: the banks wrote bad mortgages, then bundled the mortgages into investment vehicles that they sold all over the world, and they even got firms like AIG to insure the investments. It was all a house of cards.

    If there had been no deregulation, sure we would have had a bunch of bad mortgages, and the mortgage guaranty and real estate industries would have suffered, but there would not have been a global financial meltdown, since the problem would have been contained in one sector of the economy. You can thank Geo W. Bush, Sen. Phil Gramm and Sen John McCain for the meltdown, since they were strong proponents of deregulation.

    Furthermore, although Fannie and Freddie are now holding the bulk of these bad mortgages, Fannie and Freddie did not originally write most of these mortgages. They bought them after the fact, bundled by banks/investment companies. Fannie and Freddie got screwed by the Wall Street fat cats. And so did you, if you pay taxes.

    What is Phil Gramm doing today? He works as a lobbyist in Washington, trying to make it legal for the Swiss bank he represents to sell Death Bonds in the United States. Nice guy, Phil Gramm. Incidentally, John McCain has said that he wants to appoint Phil Gramm as Treasury Secretary. Some people just can't learn from their mistakes.

    Read Mr. Obama's autobiography for a clue as to how he is going to help America get over our economic mess. On page 3 we find this wonderful passage: "When the weather was good, my roommate and I might sit out on the fire escape to smoke cigarettes and study the dusk washing blue over the city, or watch WHITE PEOPLE from the better neighborhoods nearby walk their dogs down our block to let the animals sh t on our curbs, Scoop, the poop you bastards, my roommate would shout with impressive rage and we would laugh at the faces of both master and beast, grim and unapolagetic as the hunkered down to do the deed." Americans, this passage is how Mr. Obama opens up his autobiography. Ask yourselves, of the countless ways that he could have opened up his book, why did he CHOOSE to do so with this passage? What does it say about him? What is the underlying message? Does it not say something about how he view the world? You may say that it is an isolated passage and that it means nothing. But when later in the book you are told by him that he is rooted in the philosophy/ideology/psychology of Malcolm X, Frans Fanon, Carmichael, Garvey, and Ellison.......well then it means something. It is meaningful.

      People on these blogs should know that JoseMarti is a neo-Nazi. He has made many anti-Semitic remarks in the past, even making up the names "Crystal Knight" (remember Krystal Nacht in Nazi Germany?) and "Kwanse Mfiune" as fake Obama spokespersons, then attributing vile, racist and socialist quotes to these imaginary people in an effort to make Obama look bad.

      JoseMarti is a oozing sore on the body politic.

    Honestly, looking at McCain and Obama objectively (without any party affiliation or any racism) I really can't see why anybody would vote for McCain. Obama has offered a much more coherent plan to get America out of the economic disaster we are in.

    Right now, most people are anxious about the economy, fearing the worst but hoping for the best.

    Reality check: within 18 months YOU could be standing in a bread line. That's how bad it really is. And Obama will work actively to prevent this short term, as well as make us strong again long term. As much as I like McCain and admire his patriotism, he really is not up for the job, not now with the global markets falling apart.

    Germany again threatens the United States. Mr. Albert Speer today issued the strongest threat so far when he said: "Do not think that Germany will stand by and do nothing should Americans choose Mr. McCain. Germany has never been stronger. Our industrial capacity is now greater than ever. Our collective will is strong. We are a united people. We strongly urge you to elect Mr. Obama. He is meant to be your leader. The fact that you have found him is the miracle of our lifetime. The fact that he has found you is your good furtune. Work towards your Leader. Work towards him.. Work shall set you free. Heil Obama. "

      JoseMarti, these lies you post are beneath contempt. Your using the looming ghost of Hitler to frighten Americans into not voting for McCain is reprehensible. All the more so considering that many of your prior posts have been blatantly anti-Semitic. You would LOVE it if neo-Nazis took power. Shame on you in every way, JoseMarti.

      • Posted By: Nins @ 10/27/2008 8:40:05 PM

Not a word about opportunity and competition. Not a word about American ingenuity. Not a word about self-reliance. Not a word. Mr. Obama. Goverment is best that governs least. We reject the change that you offer. We reject your class warfare. We reject your grandiosity. We reject your destructive ideology. You will be defeated on Election Day.

    fter 9/11, the US government started rounding up Muslims without cause and without due process of law, like we did to the Japanese Americans in WWII. The Bush administration called it's main internment camp Guantanamo Bay. While there are certainly many guilty terrorists held in Guantanamo, there are also many innocent American citizens who have been held illegally for years without even being charged with any crime. They have been tortured by our government. Some of them have died.

    Recently the Supreme Court ruled against the Bush administration in the matter of Guantanamo Bay. The Supreme Court Justices were NOT on the side of the terrorists. They were on the side of the Geneva Convention, that says you can not torture POWs, and on the side of US laws that state you can not imprison a person without charging them with a crime and bringing them to trial. I'm sure that like most Americans, the Justices who voted against the illegal, immoral doings at Guantanamo didn't feel sympathy for the terrorists. They felt sympathy for the laws of AMERICA, the land of the FREE, where even rat finks get a fair trial.

    Meanwhile, back in Iraq, the Bush administration is busy trying to build a smokescreen to hide the CRIMES they have committed. Those pesky weapons of mass destruction. Just think, the National Debt went up over 6 trillion dollars under Bush. More than 2 TRILLION of it went directly into the pockets of Halliburton, a corporation owned by the Cheney family. Halliburton is now a DUBAI corporation and therefore is not subject to US taxes. All that money they took out of the US Treasury is going into the coffers of a MUSLIM country.

    Did you hear about how the US government is being charged millions for Halliburton deliveries of sand into Iraq from Kuwait? Sand. Like there is a shortage of sand in Iraq? Another contractor shipped sand from Idaho to Iraq at our expense. Nobel prize winning economist Joseph Stiglitz discusses these and other excesses of our current government's out of control spending in Iraq.

    Your grandchildren will be working like slaves to pay off this debt, so that the Bushes and Cheneys can live the high life in Dubai.

    Yeah, they're patriots, Bush&Co. They wear flag pins. And hide the money they stole from America in Dubai.

    And they want me to believe that Obama is a socialist. Right.

    THE GREAT BUSH DEPRESSION
    I follow an economist named Bob Proctor. He has called the top and bottom of every market crash since the 70s correctly.
    He perfectly predicted the current meltdown and the picture he paints about what will happen next
    is terrifying.He thinks it will be worse then the great depression.
    The banks in the U.S. are going under one after the other. Countrywide ,Bear Stearns, Lehman Brothers and Merrill Lynch , Fanny and Freddy Mae ,AIG
    The government took them over because they are bankrupt. Even with the goverment nationalizing hundreds of billions of dollars in debt the stock market is crashing
    the credit markets are frozen and all of us may suffer beyond anything seen in generations
    McCain just like Bush " doesn't understand the economy".
    That not just my opinion its his own words. Not only does he not understand how to fix it but he does not understand how its been broken.
    It is no surprise that he doesn't. The people that make up these securities use quantum mathematical models very few people understand.
    Bush and McCain both can take the credit for this mess since they helped deregulate the laws that were protecting us.
    Bush's economic advisor Phil Graham wrote the deregulation bill that allowed banks to take huge risks with all of our future.
    Now, Phil Graham is the head of McCain's economic policy.He is also McCain's choice for the next secretary of the treasury.
    No one in this country can afford for that to happen. The last time Bush met with his economic advisors was in March. He was the last to know somthing was wrong. Phil Graham had the guts to say that we are in a mental recession after he helped create the worst economy meltdown in our lifetime. Check out this link to the truth http://my.barackobama.com/keatingvideo
    It will take the best and brightest minds in the world to get us out of this nightmare. As bad as Bush has done, McCain would be
    even more destructive because things are in much worse shape. The next president will not inherit a budget surplus like Bush did but a crashing economy and a 11,600,000,000,000 (trillion) dollars deficit. Most of it Bush created and it will take decades to pay it back.
    If you do what you have always done then you will get what you have always got.
    When it comes to policy Bush and McCain are the same 90 percent of the time.
    So why are the polls even close then ?
    Mccains team just said they no longer want to talk about the economy.Instead they would like to spend time talking about obama
    which means running the biggest smear campaign in history.
    They think they can just tell you lies and you wont be smart enough to see through it
    Let's teach him we are smarter than that
    Stand up and hold them accountable
    Bush isn't on the ballot this year but his policies are
    Elect Obama Biden 2008

    Now, Phil Graham is the head of McCain's economic policy.He is also McCain's choice for the next secretary of the treasury.
    No one in this country can afford for that to happen. The last time Bush met with his economic advisors was in March. He was the last to know somthing was wrong. Phil Graham had the guts to say that we are in a mental recession after he helped create the worst economy meltdown in our lifetime. Check out this link to the truth http://my.barackobama.com/keatingvideo
    It will take the best and brightest minds in the world to get us out of this nightmare. As bad as Bush has done, McCain would be
    even more destructive because things are in much worse shape. The next president will not inherit a budget surplus like Bush did but a crashing economy and a 11,600,000,000,000 (trillion) dollars deficit. Most of it Bush created and it will take decades to pay it back.
    If you do what you have always done then you will get what you have always got.
    When it comes to policy Bush and McCain are the same 90 percent of the time.
    So why are the polls even close then ?
    Mccains team just said they no longer want to talk about the economy.Instead they would like to spend time talking about obama
    which means running the biggest smear campaign in history.
    They think they can just tell you lies and you wont be smart enough to see through it
    Let's teach him we are smarter than that
    Stand up and hold them accountable
    Bush isn't on the ballot this year but his policies are
    Elect Obama Biden 2008

    The president will only take advice from those close and around him. He will infact either be cajoled or dictated by these advisors in the interests of a few parties or individuals i.e the lobbyists and campaign contributors. The president will never take advice from the voters, satan or even Jesus himself.

      Oh for god's sake! Don't you think Michelle Obama and every other woman at the apex of political life spends like a drunken sailor on clothes. They are in public every day. I'm far less concerned about her wardrobe than I am about some of Obama's feelings about real issues, including his "friends". It does not bode well for us when I hear names like Wright, Farrakhan, Ayers, Khalidi and all the rest of the dregs he says he doesn't really know well at all. Give me a break!!!

      Get a life dude, Is that all you people can talk is junk?
      take a good look at Michelle Obama and her wardrobe, hair and makeup and the amount necessary to cover up the lies and deception her and her husband are pulling on the american public.

      We still can't get a look into Bill Ayers or Jeremiah Wright or Tony Rezko or any of these people allied with Obama, but we just have look into Sarah Palin's wardrobe.

      And while we're looking into Palin's clothes and makeup, let's take a look at that tape the LA Times is withholding showing Obama praising former mouthpiece for the PLO Rashid Khalidi at a dinner.... The Times is stonewalling of course.... Can't let anything out that could hurt their baby!

    greyfold, Palin believes in a kind of radical Christianism that even frightens other Pentecostals. She believes in demons. Her spiritual advisor prays for her protection from witchcraft. She believes all Jews will either be physically destroyed or converted to Christianity in the coming Armageddon. She thinks God has personally chosen her to lead America. She believes that Alaska will be a haven in the impending End Times that will see the near extermination of the human race. She actually thinks that humans rode dinosaurs. She isn't a true Christian. She's a raving fanatic and the most dangerous major party candidate in American history.

      Perhaps you should read the Book of Revelation, but you won't like the ending: The Anti-Christ is found out and is tossed, along with his followers in to the Lake of Fire.
      Read James 2:19 " Thou believest that God is one; thou doest well: the demons also believe, and shudder. "
      That's one of the devil's favorite lies: There are no demons, there is nothing to worry about and there is nothing when you die.
      BTW go listen to "Manof Peace" by Bob Dylan and see if that does not remind you of someone, eh?

      You need to list some credible sources for all your stuff here.. such as your assinine statement that Palin believes humans rode dinosaurs. That was a statement made by a left wing blogger that idiot Matt Damon picked up and ran with.

      Stop the bullsh!t and state facts.
