    Of Barack Obama + The Disenfranchised

    Obama has more experience in the government-caused financial problems because he is part of the problem. As an attorney Barack Obama knows how to juggle and manipulate to achieve - NOT the country's objectives - but his own.

    In 2005, then interim-director of Fannie Mae Daniel Mudd gave a speech before the Congressional Black Causcus, of which Barack Obama was a member of and present at the speech.

    Mudd referred to the CBC as "family." Turns out, ONE of the "family" was on the payroll - namely Democrat< Barack Obama. Democrat< Barack Obama was SECOND in receiving political donations from Fannie Mae. Number 1 was Democrat Chris Dodd and number 3 was Democrat John Kerry.

    No wonder the Democrats BLOCKED oversight legislation targeting both Fannie Mae AND Freddie Mac.

    (2003) "These two entities -- Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac -- are not facing any kind of financial crisis... The more people exaggerate these problems, the more pressure there is on these companies, the less we will see in terms of affordable housing."

    Representative Barney Frank of Massachusetts, the ranking Democrat on the Financial Services Committee, Representative Melvin L. Watt, Democrat of North Carolina, agreed.

    "I don't see much other than a shell game going on here, moving something from one agency to another and in the process weakening the bargaining power of poorer families and their ability to get affordable housing" - Democrat Melvin Watt.

    Obama has long relations with Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae executives, and he has financially benefited from both of these companies.

    One of his friends, CEO of Fannie Mae, got a pay raise of 7% in 2007 - to $13.4 MILLION - while the company lost money and the country started to suffer the "housing crisis".

    Both of these companies were giving loans of the type Obama supports - home loans for megabuck to the "disenfranchised" that had bad credit, no jobs or weak jobs, and were just plain credit risks.

    Obama's insurance policy (and these two companies)? All of the bad risk loans were guaranteed by the taxpayers.

    So while a nation hurts Obama and his CEO buddies are sitt'n rather calm and happy (and richer).

    Your Caring Government

    Decades ago my grandparents emigrated legally from Italy to the USA. Like others at that time part of the process to enter America was a medical inspection to check a variety of problems - from pregnancy to scalp infections to various other ailments. That was when the US government's goal was to protect the legal residents and citizens already here.

    Our government is opposite from those days. In addition to allowing over 15 million illegal aliens into our country - at a social cost of over $500 BILLION - now Progressives wish to lift the ban on HIV/AIDS infected immigrants! While homosexuals might jump for joy in their pink tights Progressives have no problem intentionally putting our country at risk with infected bodies - along with who know what other diseases these unchecked aliens are infested with.

    HIV/AIDS has no cure - it's a virus - a deadly virus which is rampant among the homosexual community. Some that appear heterosexual (normal) can get infected by promiscuous sex, especially with strangers - or (rarely) through blood transfusions.

    These infected aliens will be the cheap labor that cooks your food at a restaurant or a low experienced medical aid at your local government hospital, or even perform yard work at the school your children go to. Aside from the infectious nature the tremendous strain on our already-strained healthcare system will be huge.

    Under the Ryan White CARE Act non-citizens, including illegal aliens, are entitled to "HIV/AIDS-related care and treatment, immunizations for children, non-Medicaid funded public health services, tuberculosis screening and treatment, and testing and treatment of communicable diseases."

    Senators John Kerry (Democrat from Massachusetts) and Gordon Smith (Republican from Oregon) - both Progressive politicians - have proposed lifting this ban. Senator Barack Obama is also for lifting the ban.

    The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimates that 4,300 immigrants with HIV/AIDS would enter the U.S. annually by 2013.
