Obama keeps blaming the Bush policies and deregulation on the problems with our economy. This makes absolutely no sense. There has been no deregulation of the banks during Bush’s eight years. The latest deregulation of banks was passed into law by President Clinton. It didn’t lead to this crisis, in fact, it helped mitigate the crisis. The Community Reinvestment Act pushing subprime loans for people who couldn’t afford them, ACORN,  Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and the Democrats pushing for even more subprime loans are the main culprits in this. Obama is in it up to his armpits.

Barack Obama wasn’t just the second-largest recipient of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac political contributions. He was also the senator from ACORN, the activist leader for risky “affirmative action” loans.

Obama, who once represented ACORN in a lawsuit against the state of Illinois, was hired by the group to train its community organizers and staff in the methods and tactics of the late Saul Alinsky. ACORN would stage in-your-face protests in bank lobbies, drive-through lanes and even at bank managers’ homes to get them to issue risky loans in the inner city or face charges of racism.

Sarah Palin needs to hit on this in the vice presidential debate Thursday night. She needs to lay out the history of this crisis and how Obama, ACORN, the Democrats, and Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are at the heart of it. She needs to lay out how John McCain helped write a law in 2005 that would regulate Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and seriously helped avoid this crisis. The Democrats fought it. Why isn’t the McCain camp focusing on this?

Wow. Well, what do you expect from a guy who was impeached for corruption and perjury when he was a judge? The Democrats must really be scared of Palin, if they’re stooping to this level

Florida Democratic Congressman Alcee Hastings pointed to Sarah Palin on Wednesday to rally Jews to Obama.

“If Sarah Palin isn’t enough of a reason for you to get over whatever your problem is with Barack Obama, then you damn well had better pay attention,” said Hastings. “Anybody toting guns and stripping moose don’t care too much about what they do with Jews and blacks. So, you just think this through.”

How exactly does hunting relate to whether you support Jews and Black people? Did Hastings bother to read what Palin was going to say about Iran at the rally this week before she was disinvited due to pressure by the Democrats? It was printed in the New York Sun. She is pro-Israel. The comments by Hastings are inexcusable.

I guess the Democrats believe Jesus would use prayer to make fun of people.

At the Broward Democratic Party’s monthly meeting Tuesday night, it started right at the beginning — with the invocation, delivered by Mike Moskowitz, the state committeeman for the county.

He called for a “blessing on the elk and moose in Alaska who have been decimated by Sarah Barracuda” and included a prayer that Palin doesn’t turn her sights on the squirrels in Washington, D.C.

“We pray that her journey takes her across the bridge to nowhere,” he said.

Sarah Palin is really under their skin. You have to ask yourself, why? I think it’s because they know she is a real threat to them. She is energize McCain’s campaign and given the Conservatives a reason to turn out. They also can’t stand the fact that this is a successful woman who doesn’t agree with their brand of feminism. Go Sarah go!

As I pointed out in the post below, Democrats put pressure on the Jewish organizations to disinvite Sarah Palin from the anti-Iran rally. It’s the one where Hillary got very upset that Sarah Palin was also invited. It looks like partisan politics won and the Jewish organizations caved.

On Thursday, the organizers withdrew the invitation to Palin, saying in a statement that in order to keep the focus on Iran, there would be no “American political personalities” at the rally.

“Governor Palin was pleased to accept an invitation to address this rally and show her resolve on this grave national security issue,” McCain said in a statement. “Regrettably that invitation has since been withdrawn under pressure from Democratic partisans.”

Is this another example of the “new politics” that Obama keeps talking about? Applying political pressure to an organization that invited people from both parties to attend? Stay classy, Democrats.

This is hilarious. I told you the other day about a rally in front of the UN against Iranian President against Ahmadinejad. A bunch of Jewish organizations has arranged the protest and invited Hillary Clinton and Sarah Palin to attend. Both said yes. When Hillary found out pale and was also invited, Hillary said she would no longer attend. She was furious that Palin was turning the event into a partisan affair. Now the and NJDC is echoing Hillary.

Monday’s protest against Ahmadinejad is too important to be tainted by partisanship. Unfortunately, the campaign of Senator John McCain is much more interested in scoring political points than insuring there is bipartisan solidarity around the anti- Ahmadinejad efforts. Therefore, we call upon the Conference of Presidents of Major Jewish Organizations to withdraw the invitation to Governor Sarah Palin and we applaud Senator Hillary Clinton’s decision to not attend the rally after the attendance of Palin was announced.

I admit that I’m not a brainiac.  But, isn’t the definition of partisanship or only one side agrees? If Palin, a Republican, and Hillary, a Democrat, both attend an event, doesn’t that make it bipartisan? How in the world is Sarah Palin making this a partisan event by accepting an invitation to attend it with a Democrat? Too funny.

This is rich. It’s truly amazing that the media and the Democrats continue to say that Obama is infighting hard enough in this election.The idea that he is not attacking John McCain is pure fiction.And now, he attempts to take the high ground again by insulting McCain personally. How is that taking the high ground?

Sen. Barack Obama’s spokesman on Saturday accused Sen. John McCain of “cynically running the sleaziest and least honorable campaign in modern presidential campaign history.” 

Obama followed up on Saturday, “The McCain-[Sarah] Palin ticket, they don’t want to debate the Obama-Biden ticket on issues because they are running on eight more years of what we’ve just seen. And they know it,” the Democratic presidential nominee said. “As a consequence, what they’re going to spend the next seven, eight weeks doing is trying to distract you.

“They’re going to talk about pigs, and they’re going to talk about lipstick; they’re going to talk about Paris Hilton, they’re going to talk about Britney Spears. They will try to distort my record, and they will try to undermine your trust in what the Democrats intend to do.”

Let’s see, Obama has said McCain is out of touch, and that he just doesn’t get it. His supporters have made fun of the fact that McCain doesn’t send e-mailseven though his war injuries from Vietnam make it impossible for him to use a keyboard. They have said that McCain is too old and might die in office. Obama has made fun of Sarah Palin as a moose hunter. His supporters have told lie after lie about Sarah Palin’s background and beliefs. They said she tried to force creationism into the Oscar classroom, she didn’t. They said she tried to ban books when she wasthe Mayor of Wasilla, she didn’t. They say, she asserted that the Iraq war is a task from God, she didn’t. In fact, she Prayed that we are on a task from God.

Yet, somehow it’s McCain, who is running a sleazy campaign. Right.

Of course it’s unfair to Sarah Palin, but that’s to be expected. Tina Fey does a great impersonation. SNL continues the mainstream media bit of making fun of small town America. They allude to the untrue assertion that Palin tried to make “creationism” mandatory in Alaska classrooms. It would be nice of the media would at least tell the truth, wouldn’t it?
