READ this! Freddie and Fannie fiasco

The Republican lobbyist makes no difference -- it just means they were targeting Republicans, because the Democrats (did you read it all?) were already against the bill. They spent the 2 mil to try to change the minds of the Republicans, who were more for the bill. The bill they were FOR, that McCain co sponsored and was FOR, would have likely prevented, or at least lessened the impact of the whole mortgage fiasco, which would have prevented or at least lessened the impact of the economic crisis we have now, thus probably avoiding the bailout. McCain was one of those who was warning about the possible downfall of our entire economic system, and trying to get the bill passed. Obama and the rest of the Dems were the ones who were against it and wanted to leave Fannie and Freddie unregulated. I know the article was written in a very confusing way, but read it carefully and slowly and you'll see. If you are interested, let me know, and I'll try to find some more clear articles for you to look at. McCain is in a very difficult situation, honestly, running against the first black candidate ever, and with that candidate being popular. IT seems everything he says or does they claim he is racist. Obama SHOULD be called out to explain his friendship with a known terrorist, hater of America, and instead McCain and Palin are called racist for pointing that very legitimate point out. SO a lot is getting twisted around. They are saying the Republicans caused the financial crisis. I think there is blame to go around, it goes back very far, and I don't think they could foresee all that was to come back then. But the facts are VERY clear that when they DID start to foresee what was about to happen, the Dems are the ones that refused to stop it. The Republicans tried to stop it. Except for the ones noted in that article. But this fact is being ignored and swept under the rug by almost everyone. McCain also drills in over and over on the need to balance the budget, but no one is listening, and when he points out that Obama has all these big plans for bigger government and spending more money, not balancing the budget, then again, he is racist, and he has no clear economic plan. But he does have one, and it is better than Obama's. Let me know if you see where you missed something or not. It's in there.
