Yes plain and simple the Fannie may and Freddie mack group put us in this crisis with Dodds, Obama and John Kerrys blessing and the funny thing to me is the repbulicans now are getting ripped for this and not the demorcatic congress and Obama...he is ahead in the polls and how is beyond me..with Rev Wright, Bill Ayres, media bias, acorn, was enough for me to turn him down and now this and most cant wait to put this guy in charge..it still has me wondering why? Students are voting in thousands they are so excited if you ask them why they dont know just proud to be a part of it...amazing ...everyone in the Obama tank...

It's doubtful that Palin has helped McCain's rating, Marlene. Some are concerned that he might not live out his term if elected and fear that Palin will not be an appropriate choice to suceed him. Some I talk to are voting against McCain, not for Obama. The debates tonight will give Palin the opportunity to redeem herself and the credibility of the Rebuplican party for approving her as McCain's running mate. After her responses to the Katy Kurrick (sp?) interview, she needs to convince the American public that she actually knows what she's talking about. To many of us her statement about foreign policy and Russia and most of her responses to Kurrick's questions did not exactly inspire confidence in her ability to step into that office if the need arises. She didn't appear to respond in a way that is fitting of a person who aspires to be Vice President to a 71 year old with a history of melanoma.

I agree Blitzen -
I normally vote Democratic but was going to vote for McCain until he chose Palin. Now, my vote goes to Democratic - not "for Obama" either - in fact I wish I didn't "have to" vote for him. I don't like him. But I like McCain/Palin much less. My vote will not go to a ticket with Palin anywhere on it. So it's a "hold my nose and vote for the least offensive to me". Again.

Boosch and rove have destroyed the republican party. They have turned it upside down, spending like drunken sailors, and promoting graft, corruption and greed like no administration ever before. All the repubs know it but it's like the kings new clothes--nobody wants to admit it. They just grit their teeth and forge ahead hopping they can pull off their own re-election and get their boy in as prez. Could we expect any less from a family that helped create the nazis and is well known for their zapata drug trafficking ops into the usa. All this is documented history. Remember every manufactured crises is always created as high tech cover for some kind of big ripoff being pulled behind the curtain. WEhile the current admin helps the banksters steal our wealth out in the open with the bailout, just imagine what they are really doing in secret behind the scenes. Mostlikely stealing our basic human rights, our rights under the Constiotution and Bill of Rights and planning our complete slavery and maybe worse.

How funny! You can mispell the "keywords" all you want, but they are reading. For quite some time, actually. Look outside and you will see a tan taurus. It should have a green bumper sticker on the right side of the rear.

For years McCain campaign manager Rick Davis was head of the Homeownership Alliance, a lobbying association that included Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, real estate agents, homebuilders, and non-profits. According to Politico, the organization opposed congressional attempts at regulation of Fannie and Freddie, along the lines of what John McCain is currently proposing. In his capacity of president of the group, Davis went on record in 2003 and insisted that no further reform of the lenders was necessary, in contradiction to his current boss's sentiments. "[Fannie and Freddie] are subject to an innovative and stringent risk-based capital stress test," Davis wrote. "The toughest in the financial services industry."
Aquiles Suarez, listed as an economic adviser to the McCain campaign in a July 2007 McCain press release, was formerly the director of government and industry relations for Fannie Mae. The Senate Lobbying Database says Suarez oversaw the lending giant's $47,510,000 lobbying campaign from 2003 to 2006.
And other current McCain campaign staffers were the lobbyists receiving shares of that money. According to the Senate Lobbying Database, the lobbying firm of Charlie Black, one of McCain's top aides, made at least $820,000 working for Freddie Mac from 1999 to 2004. The McCain campaign's vice-chair Wayne Berman and its congressional liaison John Green made $1.14 million working on behalf of Fannie Mae for lobbying firm Ogilvy Government Relations.

Green made an additional $180,000 from Freddie Mac. Arther B. Culvahouse Jr., the VP vetter who helped John McCain select Sarah Palin, earned $80,000 from Fannie Mae in 2003 and 2004, while working for lobbying and law firm O'Melveny & Myers LLP. In addition, Politico reports that at least 20 McCain fundraisers have lobbied for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, pocketing at least $12.3 million over the last nine years.
