Neo,

Barney Frank and Chris Dodd blocked the regulatory legislation, insisting that Fannie and Freddie were fine.

This is all about the dems creating this mess and then hypocritically lying to try and make it about republican ‘incompetence and greed’.

Evidently adding ‘bearing false witness’ to their list of sins is not a concern. But then, they don’t believe in a ‘literal translation’ of the Ten Commandments.

Obama is the second highest recipient of largess from Fannie/Freddie. Chris Dodd got the most…

Time for ANOTHER ad.

1 – McCain is strategically waiting to unload on Obama’s ties to Fannie

or

2 – The campaign is abysmally incompetent.

Given their track record this campaign so far , I want to lean toward 1.

And now look at what our wonderful Congress is doing:

Democratic Congress May Adjourn, Leave Crisis to Fed, Treasury

By Kristin Jensen

Sept. 18 (Bloomberg) — The Democratic-controlled Congress, acknowledging that it isn’t equipped to lead the way to a solution for the financial crisis and can’t agree on a path to follow, is likely to just get out of the way.

Lawmakers say they are unlikely to take action before, or to delay, their planned adjournments — Sept. 26 for the House of Representatives, a week later for the Senate. While they haven’t ruled out returning after the Nov. 4 elections, they would rather wait until next year unless Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson and Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke, who are leading efforts to contain the crisis, call for help.

One reason, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said yesterday, is that “no one knows what to do” at the moment.

The McCain/Palin campaign is way inside the Obama camps OODA loop.

I have such difficulties with this election. Do I despise the one who should know better yet seemingly ignores his education and experience? Do I hold McCain as worse because he should know better? Or do I just not vote, risking a worse, if through ignorance, one who will do far more damage? Then again, whether he is actually ignorant, or whether Obama knows exactly what damages he would create, is another matter.

Life does not offer simple questions, easy answers, or certainty, ever. A mistake here, at this time in history, is like few times in history. We will either stumble on, as a free state, in the hopes of another opportunity in the future. Or, we will begin folding up a dream, joining the rest of the world in it’s dark walk, and live as tools of a state, then a world state. I cannot be sure this is The election, I just know it might be.

“The one thing that I want to insist on is that, as I travel around the country, the American people are a decent people. Now they get confused sometimes. You know, they listen to the wrong talk radio shows or watch the wrong TV networks, um, but they’re, they’re basically decent, they’re basically sound.”

Thank you SO much, Your Wonderfulness.

Now, wonderfully condescending quote #2, from Hairplugs Biden:

“All this stuff about how different Barack Obama is, they’re just not used to somebody really smart. They’re just not used to somebody who’s really well educated. They just don’t know quite how to handle it. Cause if he’s as smart as Barack is, he must not be from my neighborhood.”

Now, isn’t that special.

Pass it on….
