Rick Davis lobbied for Fannie Mae; racism in McCain's ad

[FAHayek89]

Obama was the number three recipient of Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac political donations.

Only Democratic Senators Dodd and Kerry, who have been in the Senate far, far longer and have had more time to receive donations, have accepted more.

Obama's Fannie/Freddie connections are very relevant and very clear.

As far as the earlier McCain add, let us not forget that it was Joe Biden who pushed the sterotype of the African American as sexual predator against Clearance Thomas.

Who can be suprised that Maccain would use the race card, he voted against a national holiday for MLK.

The left loves to play the race card. Pathetic.

[Obamamania]

You guys, and I mean guys, are terrified....

You lie, you cheat, you manipulate and your issues have no substance which is why you talk about everything else but issues.

The necessary socialist actions were precisely because of corruption by Obama and Rains who are both socialist.

Who are you talking to? Get off the street.

Rick Davis's Lobbyist firm Davis Manafort has been getting paid for no reason. McCain's trying every dirty trick in the book huh?

Incoherent dribble obamamania, you don't present any context or proof for your poorly organized accusations. Please be more specific and don't cite fox news as a reliable source if you decide to respond.

Obamamania - Your words "The necessary socialist actions were precisely because of corruption by Obama..."

You're referring to to the BUSH $700 billion Wall St.

bailout THE MOST SOCIALIST action in recent memory? You claim that the BUSH bailout is somehow Obama's fault even though BUSH IS PRESIDENT and it is the BUSH'S PROPOSAL? WOW.

Why not admit you have no LOGICAL reason to hate Obama and so you resort to fabricating flat out bizarro fiction? You're scary crazy.

Under Clinton, secretary of Housing and Urban Development, Andrew Cuomo, 50 percent of Fannie &Freddie portfolio be made up of loans to low income borrowers by the year 2001. In Bush's first year the White House chief economist, Gregory Mankiw warned, subsidy of Fannie & Freddie loans to unqualified borrowers was creating a huge risk for the entire financial system. Rep. Barney Frank denounced Mankiw, saying" How dare you oppose suicidal loans to people who can't repay them!" The New York Times

What you just said can be reduced to - 'blah, blah, blah"

Desperate fragmented straws attempting to deflect blame.

This mess happened for MANY reason, most notably the corrupt CEO's who made bad business decisions. To circumvent their culpability and try and blame Clinton for this is illogical and pathetic, even Bill O'Reilly is on board with that.
