    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).

    Same Old Democrat Deception: Voting



    Yesterday Democrat Representative Rush Hold (New Jersey) introduced a bill that is supposed to keep electronic elections honest. Called Voter Confidence and Increased Accessibility Act (caution - Democrat/Socialist link given) it addresses absolutely nothing regarding voter fraud. His key points:
    • Paper Ballots -- ALL voting machines must produce a paper ballot
    • Audits -- ALL voting machines must be audit-able
    • No Secret Source Code -- ALL voting machine vendors MUST make the machines' software available for inspection
    • Ban on Wireless Devices -- Prohibits wireless technology in voting machines
    • Access for All Eligible Voters -- Ensures disabled and minority language voters can vote privately and independently
    What this Democrat has left out - as ALL Democrats do when addressing voting issues - is the legitimacy of the voter.

    What the Democrats will never sign on to:
    • Proof the person is not a felon
    • A 1 person = 1 vote verification
    • Proof the person at the voting machine really is that person (identity check)
    • Proof the voter has a legal right to vote (not an illegal alien, dead person, etc.)
    Have you ever - ever - ever seen Democrats demand honesty in the person doing the vote? NO! And you never will. Their constituency are illegal aliens, felons (Hillary even has said felons should be allowed to vote), repeat voters, voters using the identity of dead people, and whatever other illegal tactics only they know of.

    Then there is Senator Barack Obama's bill (S.1975) called Deceptive Practices and Voter Intimidation Prevention Act of 2005. Talk about "deceptive practices" - this surely is, for it - like ALL Democrat voting-related legislation - does absolutely NOTHING to address illegal votes. Just more Democrat deception and lies.

    Democrats will always try and put the fault and blame on someone (or something) other than the core problem. Democrats caring about honest elections? What a joke that is! They are experts in deception - using quaint terms and phrases like "disenfranchised voters", "our citizens have lost confidence that their votes are counted accurately", "election reform", "election protection" - all to divert attention from the biggest problem when it comes to elections.

    Democrats need those illegal votes - they can not survive without them, and that - very simply - is why they never have, nor ever will, address that issue.

    Happy birthday remembrances today to Ronald Regan - perhaps the best President the USA ever had.
