Big Government: Barack Obama and Democrats blame the historic financial turmoil on the market. But if it's dysfunctional, Democrats during the Clinton years are a prime reason for it.

Obama in a statement yesterday blamed the shocking new round of subprime-related bankruptcies on the free-market system, and specifically the "trickle-down" economics of the Bush administration, which he tried to gig opponent John McCain for wanting to extend.

But it was the Clinton administration, obsessed with multiculturalism, that dictated where mortgage lenders could lend, and originally helped create the market for the high-risk subprime loans now infecting like a retrovirus the balance sheets of many of Wall Street's most revered institutions.

Tough new regulations forced lenders into high-risk areas where they had no choice but to lower lending standards to make the loans that sound business practices had previously guarded against making. It was either that or face stiff government penalties.

Devastating Video for the media to ignore: Obama talks about job Bill Ayers Gave him as qualification for US Senate

Devastating Video for the media to ignore: Obama talks about job Bill Ayers Gave him as qualification for US Senate | Infidels Are Cool

Another OUCH for Obama.  Geesh, stuff just keeps coming out about the man who the media and liberal-elite fully trust without recognition of ANY background check, yet are “terrorized” at the thought of a vice-president who happens to be the most popular governor in the country.

Here Obama is, in an interview, laying out his job qualifications for the US Senate, and one of the things he cites as a qualification is being the Chairman of the Board for the Annenberg Challenge, which was set up by Bill Ayers himself, including a “meet the candidate” event for Obama hosted at Bill ayers home.  Things just keep geting worse and worse for the “Unknown Chosen One”.

Thanks to Lucianne.com for pointing to this video.  Please try to ignore the "Terminator" music and pay attention to the details.  And remember, this is just some guy Obama knew...

Left-wing feminists have a hard time dealing with strong, successful conservative women in politics such as Margaret Thatcher. Sarah Palin seems to have truly unhinged more than a few, eliciting a stream of vicious, often misogynist invective.

OBAMA TRIED TO STALL GIS' IRAQ WITHDRAWAL

OBAMA TRIED TO STALL GIS' IRAQ WITHDRAWAL - New York Post

WHILE campaigning in public for a speedy withdrawal of US troops from Iraq, Sen. Barack Obama has tried in private to persuade Iraqi leaders to delay an agreement on a draw-down of the American military presence.

According to Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari, Obama made his demand for delay a key theme of his discussions with Iraqi leaders in Baghdad in July.

"He asked why we were not prepared to delay an agreement until after the US elections and the formation of a new administration in Washington," Zebari said in an interview.

Amazing... "hey, hold on now, can't you wait until I'm President to figure this out?  Otherwise, how am I going to get the credit for it?

Bad voter applications found

Clerks see fraudulent, duplicate forms from group

BY L.L. BRASIER • FREE PRESS STAFF WRITER • September 14, 2008

Several municipal clerks across the state are reporting fraudulent and duplicate voter registration applications, most of them from a nationwide community activist group working to help low- and moderate-income families.

The majority of the problem applications are coming from the group ACORN, Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, which has a large voter registration program among its many social service programs. ACORN’s Michigan branch, based in Detroit, has enrolled 200,000 voters statewide in recent months, mostly with the use of paid, part-time employees.

“There appears to be a sizeable number of duplicate and fraudulent applications,” said Kelly Chesney, spokeswoman for the Michigan Secretary of State’s Office. “And it appears to be widespread.”

Imagine that...
