Sen. John McCain’s 2006 demand for regulatory action on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac could have prevented current financial crisis, as HUMAN EVENTS learned from the letter shown in full text below.
McCain’s letter -- signed by nineteen other senators -- said that it was "...vitally important that Congress take the necessary steps to ensure that [Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac]...operate in a safe and sound manner.[and]..More importantly, Congress must ensure that the American taxpayer is protected in the event that either...should fail."
Sen. Obama did not sign the letter, nor did any other Democrat.

That’s a natural question when a financial crisis has vaporized trillions of dollars of personal wealth in residential real estate and financial instruments. The problem is, when you try to reduce risk for individuals too much, you end up making things much riskier.

Two top groups that insure home mortgages are trying to shed their Scrooge-like reputations during the holiday season.
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac , government-sponsored enterprises that back the bulk of U.S. mortgages, recently announced plans to suspend foreclosure proceedings and evictions between Nov. 26 and Jan. 9.
The move gives troubled homeowners more time to sign up for a government program that could ma... more   Washington: US Unveils Plan to Rescue CitigroupFrom: frenzymortgage.com Post Date: 2008-11-30 20:50:00 … the government was forced to take over mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and … hard hit by the meltdown in risky, subprime mortgages made to people with tarnished credit …

Welcome to Vichy America
This was not just another election. The last time we had a presidential election, the Left tried to get a brazen traitor elected - namely John Kerry. This new President from the Left is even more than that. Obama was no traitor, because he never was really on our side in the first place. Obama was really a foreign candidate - in spirit, funding, and citizenship.

Fascinating article Ben Smith just posted about how undecided Floridians are now moving towards Obama because of Sarah Palin.
Seems they aren’t very thrilled with "ideologues" like Palin. I’m going to guess that part of the reason is a visceral distrust of where the arch-Christian Palin comes down on the question of Jews and issues they care about. Actually, it would be a ... more  Nancy Pelosi pulls a fast one on another 50 Billion bailout in disguise--for BOFrom: usmessageboard.com Post Date: 2008-09-19 17:48:31 After all the news today,- President Bush announcing plans for the federal government to buy bad notes from all these bad mortage loans-supported by a corrupt system that paid off 384 politicians & filled their coffers-that we may pay up to 1 TRILLION dollars for.

She also apparentlly cc’d Todd on a number of official mails, innappropriately (they say) as he does not hold elected office.
I am probably even less comfortable thinking about Todd as a ’shadow VP’ than Sarah because of his alaskan independence "Damn flag secede from the union" party membership. (THough, he is cute.)
