Hey all, well I’m sure that everyone has heard about the gigantic mess also known as the 700 billion dollar financial bale out proposed by your federal government. I don’t know of a larger rip off of the American tax payer has ever existed. I plan to provide some details that will add to that already burning fire in you.
Let’s start with the obvious question. Why are we planning to spend a gargantuan amount of money? It’s a really complex answer to be honest. Many ties exist among Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and members of Congress. These two governmental entities will be receiving all the money to keep them from going bankrupt. Multiple bad deals occurred in the last 15 years, and some of the misdoings include Fannie and Freddie executives getting bonuses from false reported earnings. Also, millions where funneled into housing projects in the districts of various member of Congress like Chuck Schumer from NY. According to a Heritage Foundation article in 2004 the Washington Post reported that the Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight made a discovery that Fannie Mae was engaging in N Ron like accounting. This was completely dismissed by Congress. Some of the evidence according to the article found in the Heritage site shows that a former Clinton administration member Jamie Gorelick received a bonus of upwards of 25 million dollars whenever her base salary was only $1 million. I wonder if that should have been a hint.
Fannie Mae was created under the FDR administration as part of the New Deal. According to the article its original intent was to assist low income families with housing accommodations. Fredy Mac although created much later is supposed to serve a similar purpose. The problem seems that even with housing market booms these entities still live on. It’s requiring a financial buy out of bad loans of $700 billion from Uncle Sam to keep these two mortgage monsters from sinking. I want to know why aren’t those involved in putting us in this predicament getting held accountable.
Let’s shed light on some of these characters. Senator Obama claims to be fighting an administration that brought this mess on. Well, Senator Obama once worked quite closely with a group called Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now. ACORN got bought off by Fannie Me according to the article. ACORN has gotten indicted for corruption prior to their buy out. If you are purchasing corrupt activist groups it’s a good sign that legitimate business isn’t taking place with in the company. The three largest members of Congress according to a list provided by Fannie Mae were Barack Obama, Hilary Clinton, Barmy Franks, etc. Why don’t they have to swear under oath about their involvement?
I am just mad that our government is getting involved in a disaster that they created. These mortgage companies shouldn’t have gotten so much federal funding in the first place. Our taxes money has better places to go. Congress was just greedy since they were knee deep in it. This isn’t a Socialist government. Let the market run its course. We will have our periods of success, and we will have our periods of down time. Politicians should stop this game of pointing fingers, and shoveling maneuver covering there dirty tracks. I want someone to have the gull to step up to the plate, and I want the American people to stand strong. We should all call Congress to tell them how we don’t approve of their lack luster attempts to rectify their mistake. We need public servants who do what’s best for us not for their pocket books. I hope that we are able to maintain our liberties, free enterprise, and good living. If we continue to engage in activities like these we won’t get a chance to do so. God bless America’s principles, capitalist approach, and our way of life. James.

A Dinosaur Choice.
Hey all, it’s now time to discuss the life and achievements of the other Vice Presidential nominee. Senator Joseph R. Biden the clear choice for VP according to Barack Obama’s logic. It’s ironic he is campaigning for change since he has been a Senator for over 30 years.
Joseph R. Biden Jr. was born on November 20, 1942 in Scranton, Pennsylvania according to his biography found in the United States Senate web site. Senator Biden attended the University of Delaware where he earned a degree in History and Political Science. He went on to obtain his law degree from Syracuse University Law School in 1968. His biography details his first marriage, and they give detailed descriptions of his three kids. The site states that his life as a public servant started when got elected to the New Castle County city council. His service for the citizens of Delaware can be traced this far.
The Barack Obama campaigns that now include Biden have often mocked Senator McCain for his age, and the amount of time he has been in DC. Well, Senator Biden has according to the Senate Democratic Policy Committee Office casted 12,635 votes in his career as a Senator. The Senate records indicate that this task has only gotten achieved by 28 other members which is quite an accomplishment, but I wonder if this isn’t too long of a career inside the Belt Way?
Senator Biden has attempted to run for the White House on two other occasions. He failed do to health reasons in 1987, and he just couldn’t get enough votes in 2007. All this can be found in the Senate’s web site as well.
It’s difficult to narrow down any specific bills he is renounced for. One of his areas of expertise is foreign policy according to his followers. Although he did engage in the debate which would have cut the funds for the members of the military who are fighting in the war on terror. His biography does state he encouraged a military strike on Kosovo in 1999. So I guess he is a foreign policy genius.
My opinion of Senator Biden isn’t very high. His political path highlights quite a Socialist view. He is also involved in the gigantic rip off which is the financial bail out I’ll address in a later post. He has often shown his ineptitude to deal with the political spot light with comments like “Hilary would have been a better choice than me.” This can be located along with many of his gaps in the Mark Levin Show web site. I wonder if choosing a Senator who takes the train home is better than a moose shooting mama. James.

A true VP choice.
Hello all, so many events have occurred since my last blog. I plan to resume where I left off though. I would like to offer my prayers and good wishes to all who were affected by Ike. I hope that all the areas in the path of the storm make a speedy recovery back to normality. The next two posts will detail the biographies of each Vice Presidential nominee. I am aware that the mainstream media has as usual chosen one of them as a target. I wonder how cold the Caribou Barbie really is.
Governor Sarah Palin was born on February 11, 1964 in Sandpoint, Idaho. This according to her biography that can be found in the Alaska state web site. She grew up in Wasilla, Alaska. She graduated from Wasilla High School, and went on to attend the University of Idaho. Her biography details how she earned a Bachelor of Science in Communications Journalism. I guess it’s not as good as Princeton in some people’s view though.
Palin’s political history demonstrates her quick rise through the ranks. She served as a city council member in Wasilla from 1992 to 1996 as described in the Governor’s own web site. She also served as Mayor of Wasilla for two terms. So far this is more Executive experience than that of a community organizer I think as she stated in her speech as well at the Republican National Convention in St. Paul.
Governor Palin assumed her role as the current Governor of the state of Alaska on December 4, 2006. The state web site thoroughly describes the various committees she has participated in while Governor. This political campaign has seen many issues come to the surface. Some deal with sensitive topics like the war in Iraq, the environment, and our dependency on OPEC countries for black gold. Alaska has many resources and a close proximity to an old rival Russia.
Governor Palin’s first term marked the first legislative period in which a woman sat in the governor’s chair in Juneau. Two major legislative bills were passed during her first session. One deals with the overseeing of ethics in the legislature in Alaska, and another deals with the construction of a gas and oil pipe line that is environmentally friendly. As mentioned previously one of the concerns lingering in the minds of voters has to do with our current exportation of petroleum from regimes like Saudi Arabia. Governor Palin heads the Interstate Oil and Gas Compact Commission, a government agency comprised of several states, who work to preserve and harvest renewable resources found in the United States as stated in the Alaska state home page. I think a great approach toward minimizing our dependency for oil and natural gas from other countries.
I must express my thoughts about Governor Palin. Her Conservative politics are refreshing to hear especially when Congress is full of power hungry, dilapidated, and inept politicians. She will hold the deciding vote in the Senate if elected. Several members of Congress have demonstrated the capacity to fulfill their roles of public servants, but the majority starting at the top Speaker and Senate Majority Leader included has not. Another appealing quality of Governor Palin’s is her willingness to support the troops even when it’s not politically expedient to do so. I know that her son is now involved in the fighting, but she has an unblemished record when it comes to showing her appreciation towards the men and women in uniform. I also applaud her style of intellectually defeating media goons like Charlie Gipson.
I believe that Governor Palin is an excellent choice as VP for Senator McCain. I disagree with her global warming or climate change policies, but over all she is a solid choice. If individuals want to continue to question her based on the actions of her daughter, then I advise them to take a hike in the cold woods of Alaska. James.
