Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Latest Government Actions (NFC) [Ferrari Digest, Vol 26, Issue 27]

[Brian E. Buxton (BrianBuxton]

Tom,
I don't see how much money or how many cars or homes or anything someone 
has relates to how well they can lead the country.  Wouldn't everyone in 
America love to be worth enough to own 9 homes?  Class envy really 
shouldn't enter into what makes you decide to vote for the leader of the 
US.  And what does divorcing his wife have anything to do with his 
actions in Vietnam?  I'd say the things he did and withstood absolutely 
do make him a hero.  Not to mention what they say about his character, 
honor, self control, maturity, etc.  The issue is who can fix the 
country.  Who can keep us safe from attack on our own soil.  Who can fix 
the immigration problem, along with Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, 
etc.  Who is going to get control over the wild US deficit?  Who is 
honest?  Have you read that CEO's from Fannie May / Freddie Mack were 
the second largest contributor to Obamas Senate campaigns?  And are you 
at all surpriused that much of this leads back to Bill Clinton?


Transcript -- Fox News 9/16/2008

HEATHER NAUERT: Barack Obama attacking John McCain once again on the 
economy and the market turmoil today. Our John Gibson has new 
information on the Democratic presidential nominee and the mortgage mess 
for us now. What have you got John?

JOHN GIBSON: Alright Heather. Lehman Brothers' collapse is traced back 
to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the two big mortgage banks that got a 
federal bailout a few weeks ago. Freddie and Fannie used huge lobbying 
budgets and political contributions to keep regulators off their backs. 
A group called the center for responsive politics keeps track of which 
politicians get Fannie and Freddie political contributions. The top 
three U.S. Senators getting big Fannie and Freddie political bucks were 
democrats and number two is Senator Barack Obama. Now, remember, he has 
only been in the Senate four years but still managed to grab the number 
two spot ahead of John Kerry, decades in the senate, and Chris Dodd who 
is chairman of the senate banking committee. Fannie and Freddie have 
been creations of the congressional democrats and the Clinton white 
house, designed to make mortgages available to more people, and as it 
turned out, some people who couldn't afford them. Fannie and Freddie 
have also been places for big Washington democrats to go to work in the 
semi-private sector and pocket millions. The Clinton administration's 
white house budget director Franklin Raines ran Fannie and collected 50 
million dollars. Jamie Gurilli, Clinton Justice Apartment Official, 
worked for Fannie and took home 26 million dollars. Big Democrat Jim 
Johnson, recently on Obama's VP search committee has hauled in millions 
from his Fannie Mae C.E.O. job. Now remember, Obama's ads and stump 
speeches attack McCain and republican policies for the current financial 
turmoil. It is demonstrably not Republican policy and worse, it appears 
the man attacking McCain, Senator Obama, was at the head of the line 
when the piggy's lined up at the Fannie and Freddie trough for campaign 
bucks. Senator Barack Obama, number two on the Fannie/Freddie list of 
favored politicians after just four short years in the senate. Next time 
you see that ad, you might notice he fails to mention that part of the 
Fannie and Freddie problem. Heather.

NAUERT: Wow, that's quite a report, begs the question -- where is John 
McCain on this?

<>GIBSON: John McCain is a measly $20,000 after over 20 years so he 
really doesn't even come close in the political contribution department.

NAUERT: Interesting. All right. John Gibson, great to see you, as 
always, excellent thank you.

Plus, do you really think two years experience in the US Senate has 
prepared him for the office of President?
