Fannie And Freddie Have BO In Their Pocket?

How can a Government Sponsored Entity (i.e. Freddi Mac and Fannie Mae) give campaign contributions to legislatures? Or, who let the fox into the hen house?

I just read the IBD article:

Congress Lies Low To Avoid Bailout Blame

Senator Obama and his fans are blaming President Bush, Senator McCain, and Capitalism for the Financial Crisis. Yet the facts seem to indicate that there is nothing "Free" about this market and that both President Bush and Senator McCain tried to sound the alarm several years back.

It also seems that what was being "marketed" was the legislative influence and our tax dollars and the good Senator from Illinois sure got his share.

To know Obama is to NOBAMA

OB's 3:02 AM EDT Txt Msg: So, What's the Big Deal!

Seems to be a lot of speculation as to why Senator Obama's phone text message came in so la... er.. I mean, early in the morning. Isn't 3 AM about when most poker games finish?

The real question should be, "Did Biden win, or lose?"

And why do they want to take the money from MY pocket?

Is it Inflate my Tires? Or, I'm Tired of the Inflated...

The OWata MESS (we are going to be in if we vote for this guy) I ah... says,

"There are things you can do individually, though, to save energy. Making sure your tires are properly inflated — simple thing. But we could save all the oil that they’re talking about getting off drilling — if everybody was just inflating their tires? And getting regular tune-ups? You’d actually save just as much!"

Bush said a couple of weeks ago,

"It's a little presumptuous on my part to dictate how consumers live their own lives," the president added. "I've got faith in the American people."

That was our President's reply to a reporter who asked him why he hasn't told the people to conserve more.

President Bush trusts us, the American People. He thinks of us as equals. He may have the highest rank in the country but he's not looking down from a pedestal.

On the other hand, what does the Senator from the land of Ill-Noise (pun intended) think of us? First off, he establishes that we the people caused this problem by driving around with under inflated tires. Second, we just need to follow his instructions to resolve this issue. That's why we need him as our president and why his Mrs. can finally be proud of this country.

Pride goes before destruction, And a haughty spirit before a fall. (Proverbs 16:18 NKJV)
