Who should be blamed for the Financial Crisis? Democrats

This article explains the blame of the financial crisis in simple terms.

The economic history books will describe this episode in simple and understandable terms: Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac exploded, and many bystanders were injured in the blast, some fatally.

Fannie and Freddie did this by becoming a key enabler of the mortgage crisis. They fueled Wall Street's efforts to securitize subprime loans by becoming the primary customer of all AAA-rated subprime-mortgage pools. In addition, they held an enormous portfolio of mortgages themselves.

The quasi-governmental Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac donated toms of money to Democrats, like Chris Dodd, Chairman of the Senate Banking Committee (who received the most money), Barack Obama (who received the second most money), and Hilary Clinton. They opposed a bill, sponsored by John McCain that would have regulated Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to tightly. The bill was proposed after an accounting scandal that resulted in the resignation of former Fannie Mae Chairman, Franklin Raines. The same Franklin Raines that advises Barack Obama on mortgage and financial issues.

Palin 1, Celebrity Lesbians 0

Andrew Breitbart has an article in the Washington Times that explains Palin Derangement Syndrome (P.D.S.) so well and clearly that an excerpt would not do it justice. Send the time to read the entire article, it's worth it.

Driving the lefty feminists CRAZY!!!!

A reader from Michelle Malkin's blog posted:

I heard about a convention attendee wearing a shirt that simply stated “I am Sarah Palin”. Hearing this a light bulb went on. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if the McCain camp rolled out an “I am Sarah Palin” ad campaign? It would simply be a series of commercials that show a woman describing herself, like “I am a mom of 2 children, I am a wife, I am a PTA volunteer, I am a team mom, I am a marketing executive, I am a Democrat, etc” then the tag line, the woman says “I am Sarah Palin.”

They could have a series of women of different ages and different races giving their story, all saying in the end, “I am Sarah Palin.”

I would love to see these ads, it would drive the lefty feminists CRAZY.
