    Well,we at least know how the shifty Jordan ''got here''anyway. Known as ''Mr. Fix-it'',Jordan is the ultimate lobbyist insider. The very anathema to ''plain'',even representative government. Laying low after his involvement in the Clinton-Lewinsky scandal,we see Jordan,commanding legions of lobbyists,numbered in the hundreds,that now infest Washington. Energy,banking,tort,agriculture,technology,nothing is overlooked in the abilities of Jordan to wield incredible lobbyist influence in Washington that enriches Jordan,fattens campaign warchests,and ultimately screws the rest of us.

    The voters??? fears can???t be of regulation or of social programs or of tax increases for the top 5%; rather the fear has to be of continued deregulation corrupted by greed and dishonesty and of continued neglect and apathy for the majority and of continuing patronizing and placating those stuffing their pockets and behind all of the problems. The Republicans deserve to be really ???spanked??? and even more importantly we just desperately need real change addressing the problems and needs of all Americans without the Republicans blocking it with their continuing focus on Special Interests and a select few. The Republicans are not the party they once were and they simply can???t be trusted. Even they, in desperation, admit that we need real change but now try to say we should fear Democratic control and spending, when they had eight years of leading the country with the result being the largest spending government, with more pork barrel, the largest national debt, after being given a surplus, the largest loss of jobs and all of the other drastic problems we face in our economy, country and globally. The Republican arrogance and self-serving irresponsibility has been clearly demonstrated and now the major challenge for the voters is to strongly support turning it all around. The voters literally need to ignore everything everyone is saying and simply recognize that we desperately need real change, complete change in order to accomplish the challenges we face! We really can???t take any more of the same.

    Note from Mecca:
    Our proxies shortselled the wall street and created panic right on time. Allahu Akbar! We didn't have to bring the September '09surprise again on America!! We tried to destroy New york before, America came back, we tried to break the mind of American people by driving up gas price, they wanted to drill more, now we had to pull the last one from our sleeve.
    Yes , our economy also suffered, that is Ok, we will just cut the oil production!! so we will get more money and keep more oil.. great idea. Allahu gave us the petro dollars for a reason!!

    What do you really know about Obama's economic philosophy? Since he has never run a town, state or business, he has no record to look at. Oh, he has made lots of promises, but given that he broke his promise to be limited to public campaign funds, you cant put much faith in that, and there will be no means to keep those promises anyway.

    But you do know that Obama, along with his democratic buddies in Congress, personally and professionally advocated for a residential housing policy favoring forced sub-prime lending, which subsequently resulted in massive defaults and foreclosures, leading to your loss of significant equity value in your home, to the point that it destabilized your banks, which panicked the stock market, which wiped out your savings.

    Look and listen to Obama for yourself. Obama in this video, addressing his community activist work and his work representing ACORN in litigation against the banks and relating to the Community Reinvestment Act, and addressing the failure of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae as those actions relate to the destruction of our economy by causing the current real estate and subsequent 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."

    Acknowledging the catastrophe, but as apologist for the Democrats, Obama then offers this justification.

    "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."

    Yah, great idea. Economically unsound, but embraced by Obama. Listen for yourself. You cannot dispute the mans on words recorded live:

    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.

        He can't help it, Pia.

        I heard a rumor that the right wing lunatoids and everyone addicted to Fox News is planning to take cyanide the night of November 4th.

        So he is frantically blogging, trying to avoid this diabolical fate.

        Personally, I'd recommend a good sedative and a TV/computer hiatus for a few days. NFTT, save yourself now while you still can!

    Obama in this video is campaigning at a convention of Acorn and I believe two other Community Activist's organizations. Ask if he will be their ally if he becomes President and pledge to meet with leaders of Acorn and the others present at the convention in his first year, 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."

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