You mean the mess he helped to create? When McClown and others tried to reform Freddie/Fannie was one of the few times he voted something other than present. Of course, not so surprising considering the $$$ they were giving him. And when ACORN was blackmailing, terrorizing and suing banks to force them to make risky home loans, it was one B.H. Obama who was their attorney of record.Terry in Crapchester wrote:"The mess he was left" isn't an excuse, it's fact.
Every time this assclown tries to 'fix' things he just fucks them up more. Who wants to invest in an economy where the Fed is taking over banks, auto companies, and the medical industry? For starters.

Re: Do THESE people represent the American they "want back"?
dude, you need to back away from Faux News and start doing some thinking for yourself....the housing crash wasn't caused by low income people buying houses out of their price range (of course predatory lenders were being encouraged to make those types of high risk loans), but low income defaults on mortgages were nothing more than a blip on the radar screen insofar as the housing bubble goes....the primary culprits were speculative buyers and developers trying to cash in on a 15-20%/annum increase in house prices....Diogenes wrote: You mean the mess he helped to create?

Sorry, bud.
If you have stats to back that up, I'll show you some falsified numbers.
See... I got this kinda part-time gig dealing with foreclosed houses. Hauling out the abandon shit, maintaining the property, boarding up the broken windows to keep the junkies from moving in (most of them are in shitty rough neighborhoods), getting quotes on other shit, and whatnot-in-general.
And take a guess how many of these properties (there's been quite a few) were sitting there as a result of spec buyers and developers busting?
Go ahead, take a big ol guess...
Hint: The number you're looking for starts with a "Z."
Just about all of them were devout PWTs. Almost every house has evidence of hard-drug use (even the ones that housed children).
So, I'm going to say, as a person who actually deals with this stuff... you're full of shit, and whoever told you otherwise is full of shit.
Although, on the heartwarming side of things -- the newest entry for me is a BOOYAH! house that a real estate broker just couldn't keep together.
Sorry, libs -- the "deregulation" you speak of is an outright LIE, and it was indeed government regulation of financial markets that collapsed to mortgage industry.

Link? I'm still waiting for anyone in the media or Congress to get a clue.
If by 'predatory lenders being encouraged' you mean otherwise responsible financial institutions being smeared, blackmailed, threatened with legal sanctions and sued then they were definitely 'encouraged'. And the speculation was a reaction to the skyrocketing prices of housing, which in turn was caused by the unrestrained credit and loosening of fiscal requirements demanded by the leftists in Congress, not to mention the abandonment of all oversight over Freddie Mae and Fannie Mac.Felix wrote:(of course predatory lenders were being encouraged to make those types of high risk loans), but low income defaults on mortgages were nothing more than a blip on the radar screen insofar as the housing bubble goes....the primary culprits were speculative buyers and developers trying to cash in on a 15-20%/annum increase in house prices....

Re: Do THESE people represent the American they "want back"?
in 2006, the Wall Street Journal reported that 61% of all the borrowers that received sub-prime loans had credit scores high enough to qualify for prime conventional loans....so the assertion that the credit crisis was the result of bad loans to low income people is simply not true....40% of the houses that were sold in 2006 were not the buyers primary residence...in other words, 40% of the houses sold were either bought as secondary residences (this would be a very small percentage), or were purchased by people looking to cash in on the escalating home prices....when developers began building houses at a break neck pace, suddenly the inflow of all these new houses threw supply/demand out of whack which in turn, depressed home prices and the rest is historyDinsdale wrote:

Go read that. Felix is only giving you half a story. Almost like he posted "Need to find a way to pin this meltdown entirely on Republicans, what do I do" on "Google Answers" or something and someobody told him about Elizabeth Warren and Richard Neiman of the Congressional Oversight Panel. These "outside experts" are appointed as follows:
One member chosen by the Speaker of the House (Nancy Pelosi selected Richard H. Neiman on November 14)
One member chosen by the minority leader of the House (John Boehner appointed Jeb Hensarling on November 19)
One member chosen by the majority leader of the Senate (Harry Reid appointed Elizabeth Warren on November 14)
One member chosen by the minority leader of the Senate (Mitch McConnell appointed John E. Sununu on December 17 after his original choice Judd Gregg had "stepped aside" December 1]).
One member chosen by the Speaker of the House and the majority leader of the Senate, following consultation with the minority leaders of Congress (Damon Silvers [13] was appointed on November 14)
So since two out of five cited the repeal, to Felix, that's a "scientific law". Gee, I wonder which two exhausted efforts to find a way to blame republicans.
That's the fucking problem in Washington. A whole lot of your money and your time is wasted on each party working to deflect blame or even better ... find a way to blame the other guy.
Meanwhile the problems fester and the "people" vote in a Huge Government administration. All I have to say is ....

who could ever forget the endless parade of "ACORN is involved in trying to steal the election by voter fraud" while failing to note two pretty important facts. first, it was in fact ACORN that turned in the people responsible for submitting fraudulent voter registration forms and second, try as they might they've never been able to find an actual instance of any fraudulent voter registration turning into an actual vote.....

Of course they cover ACORN's attempts to steal elections, that is such common knowledge even CNN mentions it. Just like back in the day, everyone focused on Clinton's perjury, obstruction and subornation (sex to Lefties)and ignored his giving missile technology to the PRC in exchange for illegal campaign funds.

at the very most, 39% of the sub-prime loans would have been to low income people, and of that 39%, I'd venture to guess that at least 10% of that 39% would not be considered to be "low-income".....and you seem to forget that lots of mortgage lenders were concocting various schemes (e.g. lying through their teeth) to get people into houses any way they could...why do you want to throw poor people under the bus, when it's evident from the data I've presented that poor people aren't the primary culprits here?

Re: Do THESE people represent the American they "want back"?
I can't tell if you are ignorant, confused or just brain-dead. The reason for the speculation in the last few years was because of the steady escalation of prices (and 'value') due to demand overwhelming supply. Which was caused by banks lending money to anyone, whether they could pay it back or not. Which was caused by government policies and scumbag community organizers like ACORN. It was your leftist hack politicians that created the environment where banks had no choice but to make bad loans. The banks were responding to government force, the speculators to economic conditions, both coming from the leftist swine you want to give a pass to.why would you think the percentage would have changed before the great collapse?

as I said it seems that Hannity-who routinely tiptoes around treason against this country by subliminally implying that people should mount an armed insurrection against our duly elected officials (his Water the Tree of Liberty spiel pushed him to the edge of treason), Beck, who called the President a racist and routinely compares him to Adolph Hitler, and Rush Limbaugh, who wants Obama (hence the United States) to fail, seem to be in some sort of contest to see who will take the prize as the looniest of the far-right extremeists.....so far, my money is on Beck ("I think (Obama) is a racist with a deep seated hatred of white people).....Hannity and Limbaugh are going to have to step up their wingnuttery game if they expect to overtake Beck's gem

And this bothered you immensely over the last eight years?I'm just amazed that hacks...that pretty much spend every minute of every show hating on the President (who was duly elected by a wide majority of the residents of this country) are still allowed to spew this shit without repercussions....
Of course stupidity and hypocrisy is par for the course for a Lefty.

Who should step in to stop them?
Or what are the "repercussions" you think they should be facing for exercising their right of free speech?

And more left-wing activism...
"I put a bomb in your building, bitch."
BTW, somebody needs to Change Matthews' and Olberman's diapers.
MessNBC on the evils of sarcasm...
And Felix and S_M might need a change as well.

Rupert Murdoch if the guy had an ounce of integrity left in the blackness that was probably once occupied by his heart...but given the fact that Faux News has now transtioned to political organization, he should do whatever he thinks best....poptart wrote:

calling for people to support an armed insurrection goes a little bit beyond "free speech" and is more akin to screaming "fire" in a crowded theater.....but go ahead and hook me up to a link of any left leaning MAIN STREAM commentator that was calling for armed insurrection against former Republican administrations...be sure and turn out the lights when you leaveOr what are the "repercussions" you think they should be facing for exercising their right of free speech?
so you find some pictures of some radical left wing nutjobs and portray them as representing everyone on the left? Wow, just fucking wow.....Diogenes wrote:So do THESE people represent the American the Left "wants back"?

Oh and remember when I said that if any of the right-wing extremeists were going to out lunatic Beck they were going to have to really go over the top....looks like we may have a contender....John Perry from the always reliable NewsMax has taken it to a whole new level.....
There is a remote, although gaining, possibility America's military will intervene as a last resort to resolve the "Obama problem." Don't dismiss it as unrealistic.
America isn't the Third World. If a military coup does occur here it will be civilized. That it has never happened doesn't mean it wont. Describing what may be afoot is not to advocate it.
Will the day come when patriotic general and flag officers sit down with the president, or with those who control him, and work out the national equivalent of a "family intervention," with some form of limited, shared responsibility?
Imagine a bloodless coup to restore and defend the Constitution through an interim administration (I'm assuming here he means an interim administration comprised of Republicans) that would do the serious business of governing and defending the nation. Skilled, military-trained, nation-builders would replace accountability-challenged, radical-left commissars. Having bonded with his twin teleprompters, the president would be detailed for ceremonial speech-making.
Military intervention is what Obama's exponentially accelerating agenda for "fundamental change" toward a Marxist state is inviting upon America. A coup is not an ideal option, but Obama's radical ideal is not acceptable or reversible.
Unthinkable? Then think up an alternative, non-violent solution to the Obama problem. Just don't shrug and say, "We can always worry about that later."
In the 2008 election, that was the wistful, self-indulgent, indifferent reliance on abnegation of personal responsibility that has sunk the nation into this morass.
apparently, this wingnut is not only advocating an overthrow of the legally elected government, but dreaming about how perfect the world would be if we could just put some people in there that were of the right mindset (e.g. Republicans)
I guess this is what the right refers to as "reasonable and responsible" discourse

Re: Do THESE people represent the American they "want back"?
And this differs from the Kos Klip in the initial post how? You can go to any gathering of 100s of thousands of folks and find a few loose ends to take out of context and portray as representing the entire crowd. And even they seem normal compared to the freaks your leaders pander to. And BTW...so you find some pictures of some radical left wing nutjobs and portray them as representing everyone on the left? Wow, just fucking wow.....
First you take his comments out of context. Then decline to give a source for the article in question (which I doubt you've even read) Then you lie about what he is saying in the out of context excerpt you posted..Felix wrote:America isn't the Third World.

Hypocritical, dishonest and stupid is no way to go through life.
Oh wait, you're a Dem. Scratch the last.

Re: Do THESE people represent the American they "want back"?
Look bud, you continuously calling me names isn't going to change the fact that the Republican party is being hijacked by fucking lunatics....yeah, I criticized Bush (as did you by your own admission)....I never advocated that Bush should have been impeached and certainly never advocated that he should be forcefully removedmvscal wrote:You spent the last eight years motherfucking Chimpy every step of the way on every single issue and now you're whimpering about treason and racism everytime somebody slaps the kool aid out of your hand.
You are a sad, stupid, pathetic piece of shit.
why you'd defend this sort of behavior is beyond me.....
hey look, another dishonest headline from one of the leaders of the villagers
the headline reads "Gore Vidal: US under Obama Could Slide Into a Military Dictatorship"
of course, if you read the story Vidal says no such thing....but of course, Matt Drudge is never one to let a lie/smear go unattended.....
but mvs, you go ahead and keep on defending this kind of stuff......

False. But coming from a supporter of a party that is and has been run by the lunatics....Felix wrote:...the Republican party is being hijacked by fucking lunatics...

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/w ... 854498.eceAmerica has no intellectual class and is rotting away at a funereal pace, he believes. “We’ll have a military dictatorship soon, on the basis nobody else can hold everything together. Obama would have been better off focusing on educating the American people. His problem is being overeducated. He doesn’t realise how dim-witted and ignorant his audience is.”
You should really just bail.

Exactly how does "Describing what may be afoot is not to advocate it. " constitute advocating a military coup?Felix wrote:Diogenes wrote: First you take his comments out of context.

And you never read the actual article before lying about what he was saying.
I'm shocked.
Not really.
