McCain has a lot more dirt on him then Obama, and Obama has so much more money then his campaign that it wouldn't be difficult to make it stick. Will I start seeing TV ads about:
1: The $112,000 Charles Keating gave John McCain in campaign contributions, and the nine plane trips McCain took on Keating's private airplanes while he was committing racketeering and fraud that would lead to a 12 year prison sentence. Keating was criminally charged with having duped Lincoln Financial's customers into buying worthless junk bonds of American Continental Corporation; he was convicted in state court in 1992. Just curious, why was McCain flying around the world with such an unsavory character while he was scamming people?

2- The millions of dollars of blood money paid to McCain's Chief campaign advisor. Charlie Black, McCain's campaign chairman, ran a lobbying firm that represented brutal dictators like Ferdinand Marcos in the Philippines and Mobutu Sese Seko in Zaire -- along with terrorist rebel Jonas Savimbi in Angola. Together, these men have been responsible for massive human suffering.

Stay away from AIG for obvious reasons.
In the Seattle Times February 9, David Sirota's syndicated column exposes the lack of change in the new administration:
"America was told that finally after years of yes-men running the government, we were getting a president who would follow Abraham Lincoln's load, fill his administration with varying viewpoints, and glean empirically sound policy from the clash of ideas.
"Little did we know that the 'team of rivals' was what George Orwell calls 'Newspeak': an empty slogan.
"Obama's national security team, for instance, includes not a single Iraq War opponent. The president has not only retained George W. Bush's defense secretary, Robert Gates, but also 150 other Bush Pentagon appointees. The only `rivalry' is between those who back increasing the already bloated defense budget by an absurd amount, and those who aim to boost it by a ludicrous amount.
"Of course, that lock-step uniformity pales in comparison to the White House's economic team -- a squad of corporate lackeys disguised as public servants.
"At the top is Lawrence Summers, the director of Obama's national economic council. As Bill Clinton's treasury secretary in the late 1990's Summers worked with his deputy, Tim Geithner (now Obama's treasury secretary) and Clinton's aide Rahm Emanuel (now Obama's chief of staff) to champion job-killing trade deals and deregulation that Obama Commerce Secretary Judd Gregg helped shepherd through Congress as a Republican senator."
Some people call this economic package Obama boasts about as merely a way to force the taxpaying public to guarantee the financial industry's bad loans.
No, this is definitely not the change that Obama's campaign boasted about, is it? No, indeed, it's the same people doing the same things, and the U.S. taxpayer footing the bill for failure.
The February 10 front page of the New York Times revealed this headline:
GEITHNER SAID TO HAVE PREVAILED ON THE BAILOUT
Stephen Labaton and Edmund L. Andrews in their article datelined from Washington, D.C. explained:
"The Obama administration's new plan to bail out the nation's banks was fashioned after a spirited debate that pitted the Treasury Secretary
Timothy F. Geithner against some of the president's top political hands.
"In the end, Mr. Geithner largely prevailed in opposing tougher conditions on financial institutions that were sought by presidential aides, including David Axelrod, a senior adviser to the president, according to administration and congressional officials."
What are some of the changes that Geithner wanted included? It will cost billions more!
As Labaton and Andrews revealed:
"It calls for the creation of a joint treasury and federal reserve program at an initial cost of $250 billion to $500 billion to encourage investors to acquire soured mortgage-related assets from banks.
"It wants the Fed to use its balance sheet to provide the financing, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation might provide guarantees to investors who participate in the program.
"A second component of the plan would broadly expand to $500 billion to $1 trillion, an existing $200 billion program run by the Federal Reserve to try to unfreeze the market for commercial, student, auto and credit cards."
The big question to making these grandiose plans work is where is all this bailout cash coming from?
China, we hear, is experiencing its own recession. We already owe China more than $1 trillion. China is cutting back in loans to the U.S. as it explains it needs money for China more than ever.
To put people in top positions who sent our jobs away and reward bank chiefs who took huge bonuses and put the same colossal bank president failures back in power does seem unforgivable.
America must remain strong so future generations will have the strength to pay off this gigantic national debt.
President Obama, what on earth happened to all your glowing promises for change?
I swear to you these nuts do not care. I promise you if you told them and showed them the failure that is happening they just would not care. They believe what was said and they do not care if it is or is not actually happening. They made history and that is all they trully cared about. It does not matter if its going to be great for America. They just wanted the history.
Oh good lord Michael I would love to hear what you think the left is.
