The media won’t cover it, the Obamaniacs won’t find out or won’t care, and unless we invest a little enthusiasm and charisma into our candidate, we are going to experience the agony of defeat.

With +$4.00/gal gas, the voters are going to be looking for scalps and our guy is slower and closer to the ground.

McCain should call for an investigation of oil speculators, hedge funds and Fannie Mae.

Obama is a phony. His lack of a record in the Senate, besides his support for every far left issue is no big deal.

His associates and aquaintances of 20 years or so speak great volumes.

Change?
Nope!
The same old dirty business that the Clintons engaged in only the Clintons covered their a$$es better.

Thank God the Primaries are over. Lets get right down to the dirty business ahead!

Lately he’s knocking McCain for supporting the Bear-Sterns “bailout.” At the time, he said it was different than a bailout — he said it was intended (as it was) to forestall a “domino effect” that could have taken out the……

It’s time for that part of the Press that isn’t in the Democratic Party’s pocket to run this on Page 1, complete with pictures.

There is nothing illegal about a mortgage firm treating some borrowers better than others.

Unless they were coerced to do so by threat of illegal government action.

The guy has nothing. Wonder why people like him so much?

6. 11. This is a distraction and it does not help Michelles’s kids.

LMAO, MayBee!

Hypocrisy on subprime connections

…hypocrisy on politics as usual,
hypocrisy on lobbyists…

There is nothing illegal about a mortgage firm treating some borrowers better than others.

But apparently workers in the industry are to be treated like criminals. It’s clear why Martinez is such a strong supporter of McCain- two Republicans that have become more concerned about getting along with Democrats than living up to the principles of the party.

Patrick resigned last year from the ACC board after serving nearly two years as a director, for which he was paid $360,000 a year. Sullivan said that Patrick received no compensation for making the call and that the governor has no financial interest in ACC Capital.

But the call to Rubin is highly unusual, in part because of the political sensitivity over his past involvement with the controversial mortgage lender. In addition, if a sitting governor reaches out personally to a top corporate executive, it is typically on behalf of state interests, such as a desire to preserve jobs in Massachusetts.

Pam Wilmot, executive director of the watchdog group Common Cause/Massachusetts, questioned what role Patrick was playing in placing such a call to a corporation with extensive interests before the state. The implied message of Patrick’s call, Wilmot said, is that he wants Citigroup to go ahead with the deal.

Deval Patrick’s Role in the Mortgage Crisis

While at the Justice Department, former Clinton Administration official Deval Patrick, who is now governor of Massachusetts, used the pressure of federal lawsuits to force lenders to make risky loans, threatening them with redlining charges. (His lawsuits were often baseless; under his tenure, the Justice Department was ordered to pay over a million dollars to the city of Torrance, California for a baseless suit, but most baseless suits led to little, if any, sanctions against the Justice Department, while forcing defendants to pay millions of dollars in legal bills to defend themselves against the Justice Department juggernaut).

Then he left the Justice Department to make more money by receiving money from lenders eager to curry favor with him and thus avoid the wrath of his friends still at the Justice Department. Lenders hired him for a small fortune to “counsel” them about “predatory lending.” “Once outside government, Patrick made a bundle providing ‘cover’ for one lender as it navigated the landscape of sub-prime lending in minority communities

A New Unmentionable
Governor Deval Patrick received $360,000 in 2005 for serving as a director of Ameriquest in his own words to “deal with the allegations of predatory lending and to put in place policies that will protect low-income consumers.”

Oh amd it gets better. One of Deval’s first official acts was to use his office to try to pressure Citigroup to give Ameriquest a loan:

Governor made call on behalf of lender
Troubled Ameriquest sought infusion of cash

Governor Deval Patrick, who was criticized during the gubernatorial campaign for his involvement with a controversial subprime mortgage lender, called a top official at Citigroup, former US Treasury secretary Robert E. Rubin, two weeks ago to intercede on behalf of the owners of Ameriquest Mortgage as they sought urgent financial assistance from the global financial giant.

The endless flood of revelations about his unsavory associations and total lack of experience is getting to be almost too much for the MSM to ignore.

Almost.

1- This is not the Jim Johnson Obama knew
2- Jim Johnson is just one of hundreds of unpaid advisers that have associated themselves with the Obama campaign
3- Jim Johnson did not accept loans at a Federal level, just at a personal or state level and therefore that isn’t what Obama was talking about
4- Nobody has done more about shady mortgage practices than Barack Obama
5- Jim Johnson entered into these mortgages through no fault of his own

6. This is a distraction and it does not help Michelles’s kids.

Keep pushing it.

At this rate I think Sen. McCain has a respectable chance of being elected President.

Does appointing an ethically-challenged, long-time party fixer to a VP search committee look like New Politics or the same old garbage?

Same old garbage, just a new so cool, so sexy dumpster.

3…. 2…. 1…. Our Hero hits the big red button and the countdown stops… at 1….
