Of course, that “mitts” super pack folks had already raised about six times as much as Obama’s didn’t mean anything. BUT the real issue is this: STOP THE INSANE FUNDRAISING PROCESS, and STOP THE MADNESS!
Mr. Obama has not ever worked outside of the public sector. He doesn’t understand what average Americans deal with when facing deflated wages and layoffs. He plays golf every weekend and takes his family on lavish vacations around the world on the taxpayer’s dime. His laser-like focus on jobs during the past four years has yielded very little positive impact on the economy. He frequently forgets the plight of the average American as his real concern is only in getting re-elected so he can continue to aggrandize himself. He cares little for Americans who he says need to quit whining about rising energy prices and embrace his idyllic philosophies.
“A few actors LOVE to be seen with Obama. Liberals love to get in the limelight with their lib buddy.”And you’d get down on your knees for your ol’ “conservative” buddies.
Is this guy kidding? He’s upset that Obama is getting contributions during a recession that was caused by fat cats like the Koch Brothers who caused the recession?
Sure, he’s getting some big stuff from Hollywood. But check the records — most of his contributors are small, and, yes, they are the ones effected by the recession. Meanwhile, the GOP is being supported by plutocrats whose contributions are so huge they have to be funnelled through SuperPacs to be legal.
Amen.It’s telling that, amid all the recent recriminations, even lenders have not fingered CRA. That’s because CRA didn’t bring about the reckless lending at the heart of the crisis. Just as sub-prime lending was exploding, CRA was losing force and relevance. And the worst offenders, the independent mortgage companies, were never subject to CRA — or any federal regulator. Law didn’t make them lend. The profit motive did. And that is not political correctness. It is correctness.http://www.businessweek.com/investing/insights/blog/archives/2008/09/community_reinv.htmlPeter Ferrara writes for the American Spectator. ‘Nuff said.As I have posted before, one of my daughters worked in mortgage loans during the mid’00’s.

Like the guy said, you idiot liberal (same as an idiot conservative, by the way!), “Mr. Obama has not ever worked outside of the public sector.”
