    Here is an interesting fact. Before the 700b was authorized the treasury dept, SEC, and the Federal Reserve had already spent about 700b starting with the bailout of BearStearns. The minimum these crooks are going to give to those crooks will exceed 1.4 trillion. b,121b,121As I recall Fannie and Freddie buy out cost about 200b.b,121b,121I'm not sure what F&F's downfall was. I do know that people who create home low income homes have fought against subprime lenders. More than 5 years ago Habitat For Humanity was raising the alarm. People who got into HfH homes were target bu Sub prime lenders. These lenders would offer loans of 120% of the homes value with no $ down and great initial rates. But eventually rates would crime to 13% or more. b,121b,121About 15yago in Sweden there was a bank crisis. The Swedish government took ownership off all the banks. They went through the books. Those banks whose books were solid were returned to owners. Banks whose books were bad had assets seized. The government took on the bad debit and sold off the assets. The banking system was saved at great cost to bankers and shareholders who took on bad debit, but little cost to the government or economy. b,121b,121Instead of looking toward best practices like Sweden the US bailout is based on worse practices that our country has pressured other countries not use. b,121b,121We got screwed in the bailout. 2yrs, 4yrs, 6yrs from now, we will have to listen to politicians cry that if they had known how bad the bailout was they wouldn't have voted for it. Others will proudly proclaim they were against it before they were for it. No one will defend it.

    Republicans also like talking about Freddie and Fannie because they considered them Democratic businesses.

    NPR reports today that both campaigns are going more negative as the election date comes closer and closer.b,121b,121a href="http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=95429975" target="_blank"1http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=95429975/a1b,121b,121Presidential Campaign Takes Darker Toneb,121b,121by Mara Liassonb,121b,121All Things Considered, October 6, 2008 ?? The presidential race is getting more aggressive, with attack ads and charges flying in both directions. While Sarah Palin says Barack Obama "pals around" with terrorists, the Obama campaign is calling John McCain "erratic" and "out of touch."b,121b,121Monday in Clearwater, Fla., Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, the GOP nominee for vice president, spoke for the second time in two days about Obama's relationship with William Ayers. A former leader of the Weather Underground, Ayers planted bombs in the 1960s and says he has no regrets about it.b,121b,121"Barack Obama said Ayers was just someone in the neighborhood," Palin said. "But that's less than truthful. His own top adviser said they were, quote, 'certainly friendly.' In fact, Obama held one of the first meetings of his political career in Bill Ayers' home. And they've worked together on various projects in Chicago."b,121b,121Ayers and Obama did serve on a nonprofit board together, and while it is true that the senator has minimized his relationship with Ayers, it's also true that McCain's presidential campaign exaggerates the connection between the men.b,121b,121Obama is also using guilt-by-association attacks. The Democrat's presidential campaign has run ads tying McCain to Rush Limbaugh, corporate lobbyists and, in a new Web video, to the villain in the savings and loan scandal of the 1980s, Charles Keating.b,121b,121Meanwhile on Monday, McCain introduced an ad called "Dangerous," which asks, "Who is Barack Obama?" and calls him "dishonorable."b,121b,121Obama has attacked his Republican rival for not knowing how to use a computer and for shooting craps with lobbyists. An Obama ad titled "This Year" calls McCain "erratic in crisis" and "out of touch on the economy."b,121b,121The increased negative tone of the campaign is not unexpected or unprecedented, but what was unusual was its advance announcement by McCain aide Greg Strimple in a conference call on Saturday. With the overwhelming focus of voters on the economy and McCain's numbers dropping, Strimple predicted an aggressive final 30 days.b,121b,121"We're looking at turning the page on this financial crisis and getting back to discussing Mr. Obama's liberal, aggressively liberal record, and how he will be too risky for most Americans," Strimple said.b,121b,121It's a truism of politics that voters always say they hate negative attacks, but politicians keep on using them because they claim they work. This year, however, could be different. Voters may be angry enough at Washington to reject anything that doesn't address their No. 1 concern: the economic crisis.b,121b,121"There's plenty of negativity to go around," said Whit Ayres, a Republican pollster.b,121b,121Ayres said currently McCain bears the burden in the race, because Obama has a statistically significant lead ??? that is, his lead is outside the margin of error nationally and in many key battleground states.b,121b,121"Obama is ahead, and the candidate in second place tends to run relatively more negative ads," Ayres said.b,121b,121According to the University of Wisconsin Advertising Project, in mid-September, Obama was running a higher percentage of negative ads. As of Monday, that has changed.b,121b,121Ayres said voters should expect more of this kind of attack because, in his view, Charles Keating and Bill Ayers are fair game, as is Obama's relationship with the Rev. Jeremiah Wright.b,121b,121"I think our associations are a window into our values," he said. "If John McCain liked to hang around Ku Klux Klansmen, and if his church had given a lifetime achievement award to the racist David Duke, we would all think those are perfectly legitimate areas of inquiry."b,121b,121Regardless of whether voters agree that certain lines of attack are appropriate, they can expect more negative campaigning in the remaining 28 days of the race.

    b,121So it sounds like the McCain campaign is finally going to start putting out attack ads, trying to link Obama with William Ayers, former of the Weather Underground even though there's no evidence the two are anything more than acquaintances who happened to serve on two non-profit boards together.

    b,121To say the two "pal around" (as Palin suggested the other day) is political hyperbole but regardless the facts, here's the question: will it work?

If anything it will make Palin and co look dumb, as the economy melts they are nit picking. Maybe the Wright issue would have been better for smear campigning, plus doesnt Palin's family got redneck militia connections?b,121b,121Plus the 'pal-ing' around happened in the mid 80s, a long time after Ayers 'terrorist' activities, most of the WU handed themselves in, did their time and recanted, most have rejoined the establishment...and in the end they as a organisation where a failure in terms of destroying the state at the time, they didnt land any heavy blows that would leave a permanant scar on the peoples psyche...if I remember correctly they never had casualties in their attacks, only ever hit specific targets, never civilians...b,121b,121I guess Obama could always accuse McCain of hanging out with Vietnamese Communist during the 60s....b,121b,121 img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" 21

    b,121This is not a matter of guilt by association. Ayres and obama have an intimate working relationship that stretches over 10 years and ayres was instrumental in obama's early career. Doesnt the fact that obama has repeatedly lied about the nature of their relationship peak your interest at all?

    font class="post"1b,121b,121Plenty of people here have had plenty of ACTUAL criticisms of Obama, Robert. But in your head, anyone voting for him is a mindless disciple. Sorry that he pissed in your cheerios and broke your heart, but for most people he is simply the politician whom they will be voting for this November, not someone they want to take them to the Prom. But clearly for you the dissapointment cut you to the bone. I am sorry you are so soft, brother.

    You're delusional, man. I mean, I can't even devote energy to this, but it's really sad that you're "there" man since that's what you assume what we think and feel.

    font class="post"1b,121b,121Yeah, cuz that's what happens any time I vote. I put so much trust and faith in government and elected officials it's "scary". You better run along, there are more people out in your community who need to be convinced that thier vote makes no difference in their lives. Hurry, I think I heard someone discussing the historical importance of this election! You better go set them straight! Make sure they know that your opinion trumps their small hopes!
