Obama, Freddie Mac And Fannie Mae

Meant to be short and sweet and to the point.

I don't like this ad. Soundwise, the base is annoying. Plus, the constant focus on Obama stuttering out the names seems stupid and forced. It reminds me too much of the way the liberals making fun of W's verbage. Who cares if the man fumbles his words. What we need to slam him on is his connections to this mess. This ad distracts from that message instead of nailing it.

I thought the real problem here wasn't Fannie and Freddie but the "shadow lenders".

I only make fun of Obama's uhs because so many people say what a great speaker he is.

How in the Fing hell did the debate commission agree on Gwen Ifill (and blow Obama) as the moderator knowing full damn well that she and her publisher are promoting and preselling about the Coming of the Messiah, OBAMA, which goes on sale on January 20, the day the new pres is sworn in. Can I say WTF??? This should not be happening. It would be like letting Shawn Hannity do it? Again I say WTF? Why isnt this getting anymore press????

"--- On October 2, 2008, she will moderate the first Vice-Presidential debate between Joe Biden and Sarah Palin at Washington University in St. Louis.

On January 20, 2009, her new book The Breakthrough: Politics and Race in the Age of Obama will be released. ---"

Something ain't right about that.

Look, politicians have to get their campaign money from somewhere, and Fanny and Freddie happen to have been very fat companies. It's a game, and a dirty one. I'm sure he (obama) realizes that those sub prime mortgages were part of the problem, and that there were those managers that got rich on the whole thing, but the crisis is more than just the mortgage companies, it is the other players on wall street and the mortgage banks that also played a very significant part in this. I don't think that we can say that he is evil for taking 125K. That's not even that much when you consider the kinds of money that the republicans get from big oil. Give me a break.
