Richard Hatch says booyah!

Obama was the guy who filed a lawsuit against Citicorp in Chicago to demand they cease “racist lending practices” or NOT lending to Blacks, regardless of income or credit worthiness (in other words, that if someone was Black but had a bad credit worthiness, low income, did not have capacity to repay a home mortgage, then Citicorp HAD TO LEND TO THEM because they were Black).

Citicorp caved because it feared the Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson nationwide media smears led by Obama as retaliation if it did not settle.

THUS BEGAN what would become the Financial Crises.

Kind of like AP’s spin on his Palin posts — I don’t think it’s important, but I think you rubes do so I’ll post about it.

Excellent observation!

The tax story’s getting bigger … his new employees may have to put him in jail.

BUUUUT BUUUUUUUUUUUSH!

it’s the fact that the financial collapse happened on his watch as head of the New York Fed

Isn’t this exactly what qualifies him?

Case in point: I went to re-finance my house just for a lower rate; wasn’t looking for equity cash or anything else.. just a simple re-fi. Well, I had to deal with a local branch who valued my home “off the charts”. I knew when she quoted the current value at over $100k from the purchase price just a few years prior that something was up. We were pressed to cash out this enormous “equity” and soothe sayers planted words like: new boat! New car! New Kitchen! All free! Just sign!.

Needless to say, I went with a more reputable lender, got my lower rate, didn’t take any equity, and now I see the market correcting itself. Citi deserves to fail. There is no doubt in my mind that these minions were acting at corporate direction, hungrily collecting massive “loan origination” and other junk fees. What happened to all the fees? What? No fees? Where did all of them go?

Fools.

since everyone’s caught up in his tax dodging, I want to emphasize the point I made yesterday: The real objection to Geithner isn’t back taxes, it’s the fact that the financial collapse happened on his watch as head of the New York Fed.

Um… Excuse me but tax cheating by the man nominated to be in charge of the IRS is a little bit more important than you suggest. Yes, the New York Reserve stuff is more significant (and what will cause the most problems for Geither IMO now that it is out there). Nevertheless the tax cheat stuff shouldn’t be dismissed as unpaid jaywalking tickets. It’s that low level of standards by you Obama supporters and leftists that got us in this position. WE SHOULD BE OUTRAGED BY BOTH. It’s offensive to wave off multiple years of tax cheating paid off days before the nomination and I’m pretty angry that people like you have no problem with it.

Socialist “industries” collapse because their primary goal is not maximizing profitability or efficiency – in fact, it is usually openly stated that profitability is not the major concern, or is even considered immoral or undesirable. Thus, the Fannie Mae disaster, in which gigantic sums of money were allocated to borrowers that no free-market private industry would have been willing to touch, unless they were certain their risks would be covered by the government – at which point they were no longer private industries.

Liberals don’t care if their leaders have violated various laws. In fact, this only enhances the stature of the Great Person in their eyes. That’s why they loved Bill Clinton more with every felony, or think ACORN and the Al Franken vote-fraud rackets are hilarious instead of deeply disturbing. It’s not just cynicism or hypocrisy, cutting slack for their team on issues they would use to pillory a Republican. They get a positive thrill out of watching their leaders skate past the laws that apply to “little people,” because they love the feeling they are ruled by a super-intelligent elite of Very Special People. These Very Special People are all, by definition, liberal Democrats, so they become outraged at Republicans who try to claim the same privileges for themselves. They’ll only turn on this latest tired old hack if he becomes politically inconvenient and gets the non-liberal benighted masses too worked up, at which point he’ll be forgotten faster than you can say “Zoe Baird.”

Hussein’s been defending him, and with all of this now in the open, will he pull his trademark “I didn’t know” position?

The Precedent-Elect knows that he can do anything he wants, and he will still have many so-called “conservatives” talking about how he has a “first-class intellect” or how “he’s got intelligence to spare to handle the job” … even though all available evidence has pointed to BHO’s being as dumb as a rock.

It is a very sad situation.

Is it really worth voting anymore? Is it really worth paying attention to any of this crap?

I have to believe that Obama can do better than Geithner. The country deserves better. We need Obama to be strong enough to admit h a mistake and correct it before its too late.

Anyone hear Grahamnesty say republicans shouldn’t play any games and nominate this idiot for Treasury Sec.?

That last person who should ever tell how the republican party should act is this doofus.

Yep. We couldn’t get rid of that goober last election. He’s so strange. His man-crush on Mac is embarrassing. He’s been in Mac’s hip pocket for years. Inquiring minds want to know what he does there. ;)

Lindsey is a rash on Mac’s backside, I believe. Roast the Rinos. Shut them up and shut them down. 2010 for Mac, defeat with conservative. 2014 for Lindsey. SC lost an oppurtunity to rid us of this ilk this past election.
