Really?????  Really??????  again Really??????  Personally, I don’t deny GW has made mistakes.  Overspending comes to mind.  But the housing slump (which has essentially brought down the rest of the market) really had the stage set in the mid 90’s.  Now who was President then???  Let me think….hmmmm….who could it be……..SATAN??  (I crack me up).  No…BILL CLINTON!!  The “Community Reinvestment Act” which basically told Fannie/Freddie to make the riskier loans.  No one was very concerned while the cash was flowing.  Why do you think that the Congress doesn’t want to have the hearings until AFTER the elections???  Because all this will become obvious.  Remember, it has been GW and McCain who have called for tougher regulations.  They have been stopped by our BO supporters because it is politically better for them to quiet the whole thing up.   If we go back far enough, though, who really started it?  You have to go back 80 years.  But for someone like JC to throw stones?  I have to say it ONE MORE TIME…..REALLY????

GUESS WHAT GUESS WHAT GUESS WHAT????  The economy is in trouble!!!!  But don’t tell anyone….really it’s a HUGE secret…….Ok, maybe not.  At least, it isn’t for me or others in the real estate/mortgage industry.  Y UCK!!  What I find interesting about this whole thing is that I have the little angel on one shoulder and the devil on the other.  The devil (my selfish part)……pause for the fainting spell to pass….would LOVE for the government to finish the bail out and everything to go back to when it was easier.  The angel part of me (the one with a brain), realizes that if we believe in a free market, the market MUST be allowed to correct itself.  All that the powers that be have been doing is to continue to put band-aids on a broken financial system.  It is just like the old saying….”it is darkest just before the dawn.”  The system needs to be allowed to fall in order to get up healthy again.  It reminds me of the saying (paraphrasing)…I was a liberal when I was young because I had a heart, I became a conservative when I grew up because I have a brain.  Grown up’s realize that the right and correct things hurt sometimes.  Parents know that when a child learns to walk, they sometimes fall.   But really, it will take someone with INCREDIBLE guts to say these things.  People do NOT want to hear this.  It is not coming out of Washington.  All we are hearing is more regulation….that is part of what got us into this in the first place.  Greed….predatory lenders, predatory borrowers, predatory law makers, predatory sellers….get my drift?  Enough blame to go around.

So next we get to start hearing about how it’s the Bush white house’s fault.  Really??  Really???  I have to point out that for the past several years we have had a Democratic controlled congress.  Not to mention that really, what GW did, and one of the things I take issue with is that he helped to spend us into the stratosphere!!  That is NOT a conservative ideal.  AND I have to say that I am tired of hearing how the Republicans have ‘let this happen’.

“This isn’t 9/11,” Obama said at a campaign stop in Golden, Colorado. “We know how we got into this mess. What we need now is leadership that gets us out. I’ll provide it. John McCain won’t.”      http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/26735241/

Along with this, of course, is countless statements tying McCain/Bush  to special interests.  Well, here again, pot calling the kettle black I think!!

In Obama’s eight years in the Illinois Senate, from 1996 to 2004, almost two-thirds of the money he raised for his campaigns — $296,000 of $461,000 — came from PACs, corporate contributions, or unions, according to Illinois Board of Elections records. He tapped financial services firms, real estate developers, healthcare providers, oil companies, and many other corporate interests, the records show.  http://www.boston.com/news/nation/articles/2007/08/09/pacs_and_lobbyists_aided_obamas_rise/

Obama has raised a full $395,574 from employees and PACs of the now-bankrupt Lehman brothers, second only to Hillary Clinton.   http://www.politico.com/blogs/bensmith/0908/Friends_of_Lehman.html?showall

Not to mention his running mate’s ties.  I am not sure I would want to bring all this up if I were Barack.  Of course he is totally safe since the media will only report on the possible but maybe not firing of a trooper in Alaska and seems to have no concerns at all over Barack’s ties with Tony Soprano (Silvio told them to keep it quiet) J   I am so glad that Obama is SO in touch with us little guys…..are you all going to his $28,000/plate fundraiser with Bab’s performing???  Wouldn’t miss it myself.  I am going to buy extra tickets…..let me know if you want to go!  GEEZE, we are in big trouble in this country…..
