I try to keep these rants short but Obama keeps lying about his connection to this person or that organization and for dems to continue to ignore this illustrates their lunacy(Come on, if it was McCain's friends in question, he would have been ran out of town on a rail by now!) - in fact, it's so dumb, it's laughable, Obama just keeps walking into his own spin of lunacy.

One question I have - How many people who are registered Democrats (whether forced by Acorn of by their own accord) and are voting for this wannabe are on the public teat?  (I'm thinking the unemployed by choice, Professional welfare Queens, etc) I'm willing to bet that most people to the 'right' (yes, folks, it's called the 'right' for a reason!) have jobs, or used to, and are hard-working, sober participants in their communities.  But I digress!!! It's like watching a slow moving car accident: it's part fascination, part horror show, he rips off the words of John McCain (duh, we already HAVE clean fuel, O-ding-a-ling, is that the best your speech writer can find? fire his rear end!  On second thought, don't, it's fun, hearing you sound like a polished, smooth car-salesman! and how many times can you say...uh.....and ...and...but then, I never did see you in any of Dottie Walter's professional speaking classes, hence the run-on 'And's!)  and spins them using his fancy Harvard education, seducing the drooling dems who are so readily dropping their judgement as readily as they'll shamelessly cast their votes.

 

What is so bad about this guy? He's not a leader!- He's a Salesman.  He uses dangerous people, with terrorist ties to his gain, only creating separation when it becomes politically advantageous to do so. 

Nobama and his greedy Swine friends sucked from the well oiled pipe of the financial system of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae for many years, shutting down and rejecting any legislative effort (before sending me angry emails, spitting tofu and homeade pot brownie crumbs all over the screens of your laptops, lefties, please check his voting record first!!! It's less embarrassing for you later too and saves me time.) put forth to oversee the Agencies by folks who could easily see the writing on the wall.  (for the record, two of the men behind legislation to babysit stricter oversights included President Bush as well as Senator McCain.  Bush and McCain are ROCK STARS, people.  Bush has kept our borders safe in an incredible age of uncertainty, regardless of how it seems and McCain continues to Serve and Protect, going up against people within both parties, unafraid to shoot off his mouth - PLEASE - STOP JUDGING MCCAIN'S SPEAKING STYLE!! HE'S IN PAIN! HIS BODY (every bone which has been broken, more than once providing a service that Obama scoffs at) WHILE STRONG, HAS BEEN BROKEN AND HIS MESSAGE DOESN'T NEED TO BE SCREAMED FROM THE ROOFTOPS LIKE THE oily idiot FROM HARVARD.  Frankly, I like the 'in your face' Military man approach of McCain (who needs to announce his appointment of Rudy Giuliani Wednessday night!!!) and find his aging sexy, down to earth approach exacty what Americans need to hear.  In coordination with the fact that Palin has balanced her own budget, ran the greedy corrupt A-holes out of her political system and definately has demonstrated through down to earth smarts, attractive looks and Moxie her ability to lead and take on anyone from the snotty beeotch Katie Courie to Old Fart -has been Biden, she's ready to kick the excesses in Washington to the Curb - hope they take Teddy Kennedy along with them.  What the hell has THAT guy done, except for peddle a ridiculous health plan, make  his nephews and nieces afraid to ride with him and soil his family's name? We as taxpayers should be offended that Teddy Kennedy is still on the payroll as a worthless Senator! 

What's the deal?  Why are people so drawn to this guy? (I don't get it - he's even uglier than Al Gore and John Kerry put together and his voice is a dial tone! what's the appeal? Because Oprah said he's cool and now with her endorsement he's Hollywood's Elvis? Hey Idiot Hollywood! Your Elvis has voted for every tax increase, he bullied banks into giving these risky loans to people who didn't qualify and now isn't standing up to his word? (he's even backing away from his relationship from ACORN and Freddie MAC and Fannie MAE, certainly due to emerging scandals and his inability to explain his actions) right up front that is NOT a man of honor...is it?  I do not call this presidential material, do you?   What does he stand for? down and dirty list?

1. Cut and Run strategy

2. Unpatriotic never thanks the troops for what they're doing, but rather condemns the war and what they're doing - Ann Coulter calls this treason. I'm with Ann. she's another Rock Star in this scenario, a hero not afraid to speak her mind. So, do we want a treasonist in charge of our troops? hell no!

3. Was and always has been Muslim

4. Anti-Pro Life

5. Pro Gay Marriage

6.Wants to take away our Gun Rights

7.Obama was enrolled in a Wahabi school in Jakarta.
Wahabism is the RADICAL teaching that is followed by the Muslim terrorists who are now waging Jihad against the western world.

8.Since it is politically expedient to be a CHRISTIAN when seeking major public office in the United States ,Barack Hussein Obama has joined the United Church of Christ in an attempt to downplay his Muslim background.

9.Endorsed a book called "King and King" for second graders that promotes same-sex marriage. This is flat out nasty. Michael Jackson nasty. Marriage is one man, one woman.

10.It should also be pointed out that once a Muslim, always a Muslim. Conversion to another religion is punishable by death. (according to the zealots)

11. The Muslims have said they plan to destroy the US from the inside out, what better way to start than at the highest level - through the President of the United States, one of their own

And for all you people who think we should never have gone to war with Iraq, let me ask you this question. Who is commonly referred to being the founder of modern day terrorism?

And the answer from most historians is, Sadam Hussein.

Think about that list - it's all factual.  Really think about it.  Do you know how close we are to  having this loon as the leader of our free world?  This man-boy, whose greed got away with him in a fashion that perfectly illustrates exactly what is wrong with so many of our businesses?  Is this what we want our children to look up to?  He's more like a smooth talking Bobble Head in a suit if you ask me, as well as nearly half of Americans.   For Americans who care, it's time to bring out the big guns - really protest this choice of the liberal left - it's offensive to the the very fabric of what our beloved land stands for.  I'm also a little freaked out because I'm learning that there are people in my church that are 'offended' at the 'strong' stand that many of us are taking against Sen. Obama.  This is APPALLING.  He voted for PARTIAL BIRTH ABORTION and then voted AGAINST health care for the children who LIVE despite being ABORTED by their parents and physicians.  (that, ladies and gentlemen, is very difficult to write and if you have a conscious, it should be difficult to read without gagging and wanting to go into prayer)  in addition his constant support of gay marriage, abortion and removing spiritual rights more and more tells me that there are people within our midst that are either blinded by the truth, don't want to hear it or have an agenda I prefer to steer CLEAR of. it's dangerous to me, my Nation, my family, community and children. 

LET MY PROTEST STAND - if you are offended, too BAD!!!!! I don't CARE!

Americans, We are at war!  it is not the war in Iraq that I now speak of, however, it the one with the man who is trying to become the leader of our free nation.  His name is Barack Obama and He's running under false pretenses, hiding relationships and for reasons I'll never understand (perhaps unresolved rage against his absent father?) angry and hateful against anything patriotic, traditional or American. Before you throw your newspaper down in disgust, please  humor me by reading on:

 

Down & Dirty: Under the Carter Administration, the Community Reinvestment Act was introduced to assist families with home-buying, in the hopes of stimulating a stagnant economy.  It somewhat worked and things were ok until 1995 when Golden Boy Clinton decided to kick it up a notch by adding massive provisions, like Countrywide not mitigating loan risk using new subprime authorization.  These (idiotic) revisions allowed (irresponsible) banks (who should have banded together and balked) to loan one trillion dollars (yes, with a T) in subprime loans to people with shaky credit, which in turn created bad paper (shaky investment securities within those companies) which of course were bought up very quickly, first by Bear Stearns.  (which has since then marched swiftly down the path to BK)

 

Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac made it way too easy then for people, rarely requiring income and penalizing Banks for not complying with their law - and the penalities were huge.  Banks mostly complied because the temptation was too great and top executives enjoyed big payoffs. The lawsuit against Citibank was humungo and scared other banks against not complying with the ridiculous, draconian rules.

 

Housing prices and values rose but eventually so did interest rates, which hurt affordability, clients ability to pay their mortages as well as their capability to turn them into traditional 30 year loans.  This shift hurt the housing market, leading to a rise in foreclosures and it wasn't long before the Nation was in full crisis mode.  Once Banks began to wobble, Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac shares took a dive and we started to really hear about it on mainstream news (which means, people literally walking out of huge banks with boxes filled with belongings and carrying computer equipment!!) it was too late for anyone to do too much except fingerpoint. (especially Obama on the news ripping on Bush and talking about the 'need for change! well, keep reading my babies!!!)  There had been talk for years but the warnings had gone unheeded.  Who had been talking?  Did you hear anything?  I've gone to the grocery store several times over the past couple of weeks and have heard angry neighbors talk about what an 'idiot this President Bush is!!! he's such a doof! we should impeach him!!! ' Well, wait up folks, it's not that simple.  Bush has some history here, but not on the side you think.

 

In 2003, according to the New York Times (a liberal publication) President Bush proposed a new regulatory oversite Agency to do nothing but 'babysit' Fanny Mae and Freddie Mac.  Guess what?  Democrat Barney the genius Frank shot it down, along with his friends on the hill and it didn't pass.  Said  he didn't want to 'hurt' the financial industry.  NICE!  Barney Frank or Barney Rubble? 

 

Again in 2005, according to the 'Minority Report', John McCain co-sponsored a bill 'The housing enterprise regulatory act of 2005' and AGAIN it was blocked by the dems, but it came back in 2007 but it was blocked by Democrat Chris Dodd (you can call him Dud) and friends of the hill and Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.  Also involved in this, 'no, no, can't do this!' was Senator Barack Obama' , along with his friends. (Naturally Obama didn't want it regulated!  they were enjoying their golden paydays! their party might end and that would suck!)

 

Jim John, sweetheart loan recipient from Countrywide Mortgage, managing director of Lehman brothers (from 1985-1990) which is now bankrupt, was CEO of Fannie Mae from 1991-1998 then when CRA was expanded, this corrupt embarrassment to his community allegedly deferred 200 million dollars in expenses, Fannie Mae under reported his compensation, originally reported as 6.7 million and it was actually closer to 21 million - at that time he gave Obama a donation of the maximum of $4600.00

 

Now he's a private (wealthy) banker and is on the Board of Goldman Sachs, which has donated another $700,000 to Barack Obama, as well as another half million dollars through a process called 'bundling'

 

His advisor, Jim Johnson, quit under fire, but also enjoys the benefits of a 'sweetheart loan'  (mostly no interest loan)

 

Obama's 'personal advisor'  (McCain might have several houses but I'm pretty sure none of them were procured with funding through means such as this!!) was the in charge of the CRA under the Carter Admin from 77-79 and then was an investment banker from 1980-1991 at Lazard Ltd, from 1991-1996 he was Vice Chair of Fannie Mae when the CRA expanded.

 

from 1996-1998 he was OMB Director under Clinton and from 1999-2004 he was CEO at Fannie Mae but stepped down WITH A 25 MILLION DOLLAR PARACHUTE after SEVERAL 'ACCOUNTING irregularities were found.  does that mean what I think it does?  then why the golden parachute?  and why are we paying for it?  who is in charge here?  we should be OUTRAGED!!!!!

 

Now, for the biggie.  Barack  "Change you can believe in"  collected more money in ...what do we call them? donations? kick backs? consulting fees? I don't really know. hourly wage? good grief. would love to ask him what he really did for that money - but I digress! The fact is, he collected more in three years than John Kerry collected in 20 years! 

Obama took the 3rd biggest payout from the agency from anyone - even the Accounting 'wizard with the freakishly large parachute! 'My Goodness, how are these people not in JAIL???

In fact, breaking down,  John McCain has collected 862.00 per year (from the agencies - and this is a breakdown, on average) and Obama has gotten 42,116 DOLLARS PER YEAR.  PER YEAR!!!

 

Plus, this man who refuses to say the National Anthem (doesn't want to 'offend anyone - I say ' who? one of his terrorist friends??? get OUT of this country if you are ashamed!!!! shame on YOU sir!!!!!!!!!)  used to work for Miner, Barnhill & Galland.  Folks, this is the law firm that sued banks for not issuing enough subprime mortgages.

 

Ladies and Gentlemen, from refusing to sign legislation allowing stronger reform of the financial industry to prosecuting the financial industry for not lending enough of these shaky loans, you now KNOW who is behind the financial mess.  Our democratic candidate.

 

Change we can believe in? 

 

Excuse me...you can keep that change!!!

Enough is enough. - I've kept my mouth shut for months, scanning the paper in silence, reading the somewhat bi-partisan argument going on, not jumping in, as I'm supposed to watch my stress levels. But Some of the more ludicrous commentary is screaming out for feedback. (FYI, every one of my statements is entrenched firmly in well-researched fact, easily documented)

1. Our current financial 'mess' is NOT all of 'Bush's' doing, it's VERY much a dual-party deal. Everyone involved knew there was trouble and they didn't tell us. Where we should be concerned and downright upset is that 1) greedy CEO's should NOT be allowed to jump ship with millions in bail-out bonuses as it penalizes everyone, from their employees to their clients. (especially when the American People are at risk for picking up the tab)

1. He is a Muslim - that scares the hell out of me and should you too. We want our leaders to follow God. It is a basic principle that our very Country was founded upon.

2. He has less experience to run a nation than someone required to run night shift at a McDonald's. true story.

3. He supports partial birth abortion and that is an insult to 40 million unborn voters.

4. We know very little about him - his experience is so limited - the only reason he's gotten as far as he has is because Oprah has propelled her weight behind him. (but Oprah is wrong about a lot of stuff lately. Her article about thyroid disorders was a disaster)
 
 Troubled as it may be, our beautiful country was founded upon judeo-christian values - which involved difficult decisions, often including wars, separations from families and unhappy times and strife between leaders. true stuff!!! It was good enough then and should be good enough now! most familes stuck it out, they didn't act like whiny little girls when the going got tough - and they WERE - much tougher than they are now, in fact.

We could easily be called the land of conveniences and spoiled brats. (a title that works well for me, many of my relatives going back a long ways fought hard and proud so we could have the right to say what we want in a land that is free of oppression, full of opportunity, even if your neighbor's opinion makes you want to barf - at least you cannot be put to death for speaking your mind, regardless of your race, your color, your sex, disability, etc) but on that note, it shouldn't be a handout either.

1 Yes, liberals we could CERTAINLY have avoided going to war - and had we done that, we'd  have huge blocks of terrorist cells all over the place, guaranteed, if not worse. (Ventura would probably be one huge parking lot by now) Avoiding war after the attacks would have been the equivalent of surrendering, though, unless you subscribe to the theory of ' feel good politics' (which any red-blooded patriotic Republican does NOT, it's for weenies) which don't jive with the mindset of anyone who knows anything about the middle east. (and just for the sake of discussion, if you don't, you shouldn't be responding or ranting on about the Government)

2. For those of you who think Bush has put all of us in the poorhouse and yearn for the days of the good old 'Clinton years'  keep in mind that the only thing that Clinton really did (other than Monica) was put gays in the military and ignore the warnings that our borders were weak and that we had terrorist cells growing. He did NOTHING for the economy to grow it. THAT WOULD BE REAGAN. The greatest and most permanent mark Clinton will leave on history will likely be found on a size 12 blue dress.
