Obam, ACORN, and the Bailout Bill

 

Do you know who ACORN is?

 

Acorn is a perfect example of political correctness.  As described on its website: “ACORN is the nation’s largest grassroots community organization of low- and moderate-income people with over 400,000 member families organized into more than 1,200 neighborhood chapters in 110 cities across the country.  Since 1970, ACORN has been building community organizations that are committed to social and economic justice, and won victories on thousands of issues of concern to our members, through direct action, negotiation, legislative advocacy and voter participation.  ACORN helps those who have historically been locked out become powerful players in our democratic system.”

First of all… it is all the people who had to make sure that everything is “FAIR” and that there was “EQUALITY” that even those who can’t afford a home can get a loan for a home.

 

Isn’t that funny?  Those are the same people who can’t pay their mortgages and a direct reason why we are in the financial crisis we are in.  So ACORN through “negotiation” and “legislative advocacy” helped make it so you don’t have to make any money to qualify for a home because as stated in the preamble of our constitution….

 

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, [Don’t forget… we also give every damn person in this country a house whether they can aford it or not] do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

 

What gets my goat.  In the first draft of the bailout Bill.  ACORN was going to receive at least 20% of any profits earned from the government bailout. http://michellemalkin.com/2008/09/25/kill-the-bailout-more-acorn-funding/

 

Would it surprise you if Obama had tied to ACORN?

It just never stops does it?

What really happened at the White House?

Do you want to read about what really happened the other day at the white house?

I was really surprised to hear right after the meeting on all the news channels that McCain screwed the whole thing up. He wasn’t willing to make concessions that would allow it to go forward and was hindering progress. He should have never come to Washington.

Anyhow, Rush Limbaugh was equally perplexed by the meeting and called a friend to find out what really happened. Read the story here.

In summary, Paulsen, Reed and Pelosi deferred to Obama (so he could look presidential) and the first thing he did was start ripping the Republicans for presenting a second plan [option]. Don’t forget the Treasury Secretary [Paulsen] was the former CEO of Goldman Sachs and a Democrat. Story short, Obama’s lack of ability to negotiate ruined the entire meeting and the attacks on the news were damage control to make it look like McCains fault.

Again, don’t believe everything you hear on TV.

You later hear Obama say that he has done better when people keep him in the loop over the phone. (That’s because he sucks at being in charge in person.)

Who’s fault is it?

Obama took $126,349 from Freddie and Fannie since 2004. What? But, Obama is out to blame Bush and the Republican party for the failure of these two giant companies? Does this seem right to you?

In 2005 McCain tried to regulate these giants in the mortgage industry: “For years I have been concerned about the regulatory structure that governs Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac – known as government-sponsored entities or GSEs – and the sheer magnitude of these companies and the role they play in the housing market,” Read about it here: http://www.govtrack.us/congress/record.xpd?id=109-s20060525-16&bill=s109-190

Previously Freddie and Fannie had had a 10.6 Billion dollar scandal and were fined 3.8 Billion for Election Fraud.

But, No, No, Obama the Great says it is George Bush’s fault they failed.

In 2006 they paid out 1.3 million in political contributions… So far this year, they have paid out 1.1 million (56% going to Democrats). But no, it’s George Bush’s fault the companies failed. Doesn’t make sense to me.

It’s just like Congress and the Senate to point the finger at anyone but themselves…. Didn’t I hear recently that they have a 9% approval rating? Stated above are some obvious reasons why! They cause all the problems and take NONE OF THE BLAME!

What a bunch of idiots!

Today’s Politics

I’ve been very disappointed with today’s Politics. I would have to say that I am not, nor have I been, nor will I be, in favor of either Presidential candidate.   When you consider the condition of the United States and its economy one thing that is rarely said is that it is just as much the fault of Congress and the Senate as it is the President for the quagmire we are in.  This leads me to my main point…

Why, if we are in such distress, would we pick someone to run our country that helped us get into the mess we are currently in?  Why would we pick a Senator to run the country when it has been their legislation, wheeling-and-dealings, that have put us in this mess we are in.  Why when the Senates approval rating is half that of the Presidents [in the teens], would we elect a Senator to run the country?

The only thing McCain has going for him is Palin.  The only thing Obama has going for him is NOTHING.  He has no record and he chose Biden to be his VP.  Biden is a Washington insider with 20 years of policy making that, again, put us into the mess we are in.  Yes, equal to or exceeding, the contribution our current President has made towards screwing things up. 

With that said, I would like to say that I do respect President Bush.  I think he is a man of integrity and moral conviction.  I think he has stood boldly against major opposition and smears.  I have truly respected his decisions to take the moral high ground and not fight with Democrats or Republicans that disagreed with him or who desired to slander him.  Has he made all the best decisions… no.  But has he been the better man?  Yes!

Don’t expect the same from Biden if we ever get stuck with him.
