For all those interested in the truth

Invest 9 minutes to learn the truth about this financial crisis

 

President Bill Clinton agrees Democrats at fault for resisting all efforts over many years to reform Fannie and Freddie:

McCain Speech On The Economy at Truman Library

 

 

“Therefore, as president, I will impose a one-year spending freeze on every agency of the federal government, excepting only national defense, the care of our veterans, and a few critical priorities.  Leadership requires candor. And I will tell you bluntly that America is already ten trillion dollars in debt, and to make our economy strong again we must reduce the burden of federal spending. We cannot tax our way to prosperity. I am committed to billions in spending reductions that will balance the budget, and get us on the path away from ruinous debt.”

 

 

Remarks By John McCain On The Economy

 

October 1, 2008

 

Thank you all very much. I appreciate the hospitality of the Harry Truman Library Institute. I’m honored to be here in the town that sent Harry Truman to Washington, and the town that welcomed him back when his work was done.

 

President Truman was a student of history, and he knew how suddenly a crisis could come about. And while so many things have changed in the 35 years since his passing, Harry Truman would surely recognize the sources of the financial crisis that now threaten the livelihoods of millions and the future of the entire American economy. Only the vast sums of money would surprise him. But the costs of unbridled greed on Wall Street, the foolishness of politicians who fed the problem, and the recklessness of politicians who failed to meet the crisis – all of these would have a familiar feel to the man from Independence.

 

We are square in the greatest financial crisis of our lifetimes. And I am pleased to report that today, I will be returning to the floor of the Senate to vote on a bill that marks a decisive step in the right direction. The original proposal was flawed. I urged additions of taxpayer protections, stronger oversight, limitations on executive compensation and more protections for people’s bank accounts. I am pleased that these are being added to improve the original bill. It took Congress a while, and there were costs to these delays. But they have awakened to the danger. And today, with the unity that this crisis demands, Congress will once again work to restore confidence and stability to the American economy.

 

There will be a time to fix the blame for all that has happened – especially in the case of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and the abuses and political deal-making that corrupted those institutions. But our duty right now is to fix the problem, and that is the business that will shortly take me back to Washington. Following September 11th, our national leaders came together at a time of crisis. Now, with this measure, we have another chance to come together to prove that Washington is once again capable of leading this country.

 

If the financial rescue bill fails in Congress yet again, the present crisis will turn into a disaster. As credit disappears, students will no longer be able to get loans for college, and families looking for a new home will be unable to get a loan. New car sales will come to a halt. Businesses will have difficulty securing credit for operations and may be unable to pay employees. If we fail to act, the gears of our economy will grind to a halt.

 

This is a moment of great testing. At such moments, there are those on both sides of this debate who will act on principle. Of course, there are always some who think first of their own interests, who calculate their own advantage instead of rushing to the aid of their country. But in the case of this bill, I am confident there are enough people of good will in both parties to help see America through this crisis. And when the last vote is cast, we can be grateful to all of them – Democrats and Republicans alike – for helping to solve the crisis instead of merely exploiting it.

 

Crises often have a way of revealing our better selves – of showing what we are made of, and how much we can achieve when we are put to the test. This is true as well of the grave challenges we face in Washington. Yet it should not require extreme emergencies – when the future of our entire economy is on the line – to bring out the best in us, or to bring us together in service to the common good. We are supposed to do that even in the calmest of times. And if we worked together more often in that spirit, perhaps there would be fewer crises, close-calls, and near-disasters confronting our nation.

 

Just consider the day-to-day routine of Congress – even as the 110th Congress ends, there remains a long list of challenges unmet. Congress has failed to pass many of the appropriations bills funding the regular business of our government. From agriculture to the labor department to transportation, the majority of appropriations bills have not passed. Even funding for the operations of the legislative branch itself has not passed. Congress can’t even find agreement on the yearly bill to pay for the Congress itself.

 

And while these routine funding issues are addressed at the last minute behind closed doors, the big challenges facing our country continue to languish. We still have made no progress to resolving our energy crisis. While we seek solutions to the economic crisis we face today, Washington has been ineffective in addressing the housing crisis that started it. And in the face of mounting job losses, we still have not taken action to put our economy back on track with policies that would encourage job creation, or with updates to an unemployment system and job training programs that were created for the 1950s.

 

Our government is on the wrong track, our economy is struggling, and I expect we will receive more bad news with Friday’s unemployment report. It is a time for leadership and a plan to create jobs and get our country on the right track.

 

I believe in low taxes, spending discipline, and open markets. I believe in rewarding hard work and letting people keep the fruits of their labor. We will keep the current low tax rates. We will simplify the current tax code. We will double the child exemption from 3500 dollars to 7000 dollars. We will give every family a 5000 dollar tax credit to buy their own health insurance or keep their current plan, and we will open up the national health-care market to expand choices and improve quality. And my administration will reduce the price of food by eliminating the subsidies for ethanol and agricultural goods. These subsidies inflate the price of food, not only for Americans but for people in poverty across the world, and I propose to abolish them.

 

I believe in a government that unleashes the creativity and initiative of Americans, so they can create more jobs and keep our economy growing. So we will cut business taxes from 35 percent to 25 percent, to give American businesses a new edge in competition. We will spur new investment through R&D tax credits and expensing of equipment. And we will protect the right of workers to decide for themselves, by democratic vote, whether to unionize.

 

Keeping taxes low helps small businesses grow and create new jobs. Cutting the second highest business tax rate in the world will help American companies compete and keep our best jobs from moving overseas. Doubling the child tax exemption will improve the lives of millions of American families at a time when the cost of living is rising. Reducing government spending and getting rid of failed programs will let you keep more of your own money to save, spend and invest as you see fit. Opening new markets for our goods and preparing workers to compete in the world economy is essential to our future prosperity.

 

As president, I will also set this country on the straightest, swiftest path to energy independence. As a nation, we will embark on the most ambitious national project in decades. We are going to stop sending $700 billion a year to countries that don’t like us very much. We will attack the problem on every front. We will produce more energy at home. We will drill new wells offshore, and we’ll drill them now. We will build more nuclear power plants. We will develop clean coal technology. We will increase the use of wind, tide, solar and natural gas. We will encourage the development and use of flex fuel, hybrid and electric automobiles. And in all of this, we will create millions of new jobs, many in industries that will be the engine of our future prosperity – jobs that will be there when your children enter the workforce.

 

Some still insist that we can achieve energy independence without more drilling and without more nuclear power. But Americans know better than that. We must use all resources and develop all technologies necessary to rescue our economy from the damage caused by rising oil prices and to restore the health of our planet. It’s an ambitious plan, but Americans are ambitious by nature, and we have faced greater challenges. It’s time for us to show the world again how Americans lead.

 

As president, I will also act immediately with reforms to restore fairness, integrity, and financial sanity to the institutions that have failed us on Wall Street. We will apply new rules to Wall Street, to end the frenzies of speculation by people gaming then system, and to make sure that this present crisis is never repeated. We will bring regulatory agencies built for the 1930s into the 21st century. On my watch, the rules will be enforced, and violations will be prosecuted. And there will be new rules to shrink, sell, and clean house at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

 

We must also realize that this rescue plan has serious implications for future spending. We cannot dedicate more than a trillion dollars to rescue failing institutions, and then go right back to business as usual in Washington – as if there were no end to the resources of government or to the patience of taxpayers. Therefore, as president, I will impose a one-year spending freeze on every agency of the federal government, excepting only national defense, the care of our veterans, and a few critical priorities. Leadership requires candor. And I will tell you bluntly that America is already ten trillion dollars in debt, and to make our economy strong again we must reduce the burden of federal spending. We cannot tax our way to prosperity. I am committed to billions in spending reductions that will balance the budget, and get us on the path away from ruinous debt.

 

The constant partisan rancor that stops us from solving these problems in Washington isn’t a cause, it’s a symptom. It’s what happens when people go to Washington to work for themselves and not you.

 

Again and again, I’ve worked with members of both parties to fix problems that need to be fixed. That’s how I will govern as president. I will reach out my hand to anyone to help me get this country moving again. I have that record and the scars to prove it.

 

I offer this not just as a campaign slogan, but as the way to solve our country’s problems. Instead of rejecting good ideas because we didn’t think of them first, let’s use the best ideas from both sides. This great country can do anything we put our minds to. I will ask Democrats and Independents to serve with me. And my administration will set a new standard for transparency and accountability. We’re going to finally start getting things done for the people who are counting on us, and I won’t care who gets the credit.

 

That is the spirit of can-do patriotism, Harry Truman, that humble, good man from Independence, Missouri, brought to the presidency. When, to his and everyone’s surprise, he assumed the office of the President and the mantle of leader of the free world, he faced the grave and difficult decisions that would end the World War and remake the world out of its ashes.

 

He was a man of principle, of wisdom and a deep and abiding love for our country. His accomplishments in war and peace are among the most significant of any president in the Twentieth Century. He succeeded beyond everyone’s expectations – perhaps, even his own – because every day Harry Truman woke up determined to put his country before party and self-interest. We would all be better public servants and the country would be better served if we tried a little more often to keep the example of this good American before us.

 

Thank you and God bless you.

 

 

 

 

BHO: Big Hypocrite Orator

 

 Obama blames his economic advisors for financial crisis, unwittingly – records show BHO close associates collected $288M in golden parachute payments from Fannie Mae

 

BHO advisor Raines left Fannie Mae with a $240M golden parachute

 

BHO advisors and close associates Johnson and Howard got golden parachute payments of $28M and $20M respectively

Amazing.  BHO just gave a speech in Wisconsin.  Trying to sound like a Reagan fiscal conservative, BHO, the ‘unifier,’ demonized the following:

 

 

>The Iraqis, for having an oil surplus. (Remember ‘war for oil!’)  (Great diplomacy: hammer your friends in public.)

 

>Everybody on Wall Street. (Greed and corruption!) Later BHO said: “There is no separation between Main Street and Wall Street.”  (Is Main Street then greedy and corrupt as well?)  See below a report on Obama’s senior advisors and their roles in creating this financial crisis.

 

>Business leaders  (All business leaders are scum?)

 

>Bush Administration for spending $10B a month in Iraq: “totally unnecessary.”  Code: immediate with drawl.  Note:  Iraqi PM Maliki said two days ago they still need us there for the time being to secure the country, despite the success of the Surge, a Surge Obama opposed.   So much for supporting our ally in the Middle East.  I guess BHO would hand the keys to the Iranians?  That will make it easier for Ahmadinejad to annihilate Israel. 

 

>Medical insurers (BHO says they overbill Medicare. News to doctors. News to insurance companies.  Medicare is a prime example of government waste, fraud and poor quality, a foretaste of national health care promoted by BHO.)

 

>Agri-Business: “They don’t need those subsidies.”  (Do they employ people? Are they subject to wild market swings, global economic dynamics, unpredictable weather severe problems financing equipment and supplies to remain productive?)

 

>George W. Bush (Who continues to get blame for everything, and credit for nothing.)  Read the record.  This financial crisis is not a result of Bush economic policies.  It is the result of Democrats trying to engage social engineering with tax dollars funneled through Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, then pre-empting Republican serial attempts at reform.  BHO has a willing audience with uninformed, emotionally driven people when he plays the blame shift game.

 

>All Republicans (Calling for bipartisan engagement to solve financial crisis, in the same breath, BHO demonizes the opposition.)

 

>Lobbyists (Shall we ask about the lobbying BHO did on behalf of Freddie/Fannie, the lobbying BHO and his associates did on behalf of ACORN, the lobbying the Dems and Freddie and Fannie did for years to strut up a corrupt system of largess and payoffs, waste and fraud?

 

>Oil companies

 

>Big Corporations

 

>The entire Washington D.C. culture

 

>Drug companies who don’t deserve profits

 

>Republicans for promoting increased domestic oil production

 

The ‘unifier’ working hard to bring us together. 

 

Otherwise . . .

 

He promised a tax cut.  Yet, he voted against extending the Bush tax cuts, in the main, middle class tax cuts.  (The poor don’t pay income tax.)  Note:  86% of income tax revenue comes from the upper 25% of income earners already.

 

Obama decries special interest lobbying and campaign contributions, but take a peek at his supporters—Note** below, NY Times story.

 

“Global warming is the great global mission of this generation!”  BHO declares, thus saying unproven science is more important than anything else?

 

Promises every child a world class education all the way through college, plus insisting the federal government commandeer 1/7th of the U.S. economic by promoting universal health care. (Likelihood of economic success with the captains of Freddie and Fannie running the health care industry?)

 

In future days, “Will they say we turned on each other?”

 

BHO encourages class warfare, then decries internal divisiveness.  He is his brother’s keeper?

 

Hypocrite.

 

It is amazing BHO has the temerity to blame Wall Street when his official economic advisors are Wall Street insiders who ran us into the ground by mismanaging Fannie Mae:

FRANKLIN RAINES works for the Obama Campaign as Chief Economic Advisor.

TIM HOWARD is also a Chief Economic Advisor to Obama.

JIM JOHNSON hired as a Senior Obama Finance Advisor and was selected to run Obama’s Vice Presidential Search Committee.

 

DETAIL:

 

Franklin Raines

Chairman and Chief Executive Officer at Fannie Mae

Raines was forced to retire from Fannie Mae when auditing discovered severe irregularities. The Wall Street Journal noted, “Raines, who long defended the company’s accounting despite mounting evidence that it wasn’t proper, issued a statement late Tuesday conceding that ‘mistakes were made’ and he would assume responsibility. News reports indicate the company was under growing pressure from regulators to shake up its management in the wake of findings that the company’s books ran afoul of generally accepted accounting principles for four years.”   Fannie Mae had to reduce its surplus by $9 billion.  Raines left with a “golden parachute valued at $240 Million in benefits. The Government filed suit against Raines when the depth of the accounting scandal became clear. http://housingdoom.com/2006/12/18/fannie-charges/

The Government noted, “The 101 charges reveal how the individuals improperly manipulated earnings to maximize their bonuses, while knowingly neglecting accounting systems and internal controls, misapplying over twenty accounting principles and misleading the regulator and the public. The Notice explains how they submitted six years of misleading and inaccurate accounting statements and inaccurate capital reports that enabled them to grow Fannie Mae in an unsafe and unsound manner.”  These charges were made in 2006.  The Court ordered Raines to return $50 Million Dollars he received in bonuses based on miss-stated Fannie Mae profits.

 

Tim Howard

Chief Financial Officer of Fannie Mae

Howard “was a strong internal proponent of using accounting strategies that would ensure a stable pattern of earnings at Fannie.” In everyday English – he was cooking the books.  The Government Investigation determined that, “Chief Financial Officer, Tim Howard, failed to provide adequate oversight to key control and reporting functions within Fannie Mae.”  On June 16, 2006, Rep. Richard Baker, R-La., asked the Justice Department to investigate his allegations that two former Fannie Mae executives lied to Congress in October 2004 when they denied manipulating the mortgage-finance giant’s income statement to achieve management pay bonuses. Investigations by federal regulators and the company’s board of directors since concluded that management did manipulate 1998 earnings to trigger bonuses. Raines and Howard resigned under pressure in late 2004.

Howard’s Golden Parachute was estimated at $20 Million!

 

Jim Johnson

A former executive at Lehman Brothers and who was later forced from his position as Fannie Mae CEO.   A look at the Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight’s May 2006 report on mismanagement and corruption inside Fannie Mae, and you’ll see some interesting things about Johnson. Investigators found that Fannie Mae had hidden a substantial amount of Johnson ’s 1998 compensation from the public, reporting that it was between $6 million and $7 million when it fact it was $21 million.“   Johnson is currently under investigation for taking illegal loans from Countrywide while serving as CEO of Fannie Mae.  Johnson’s Golden Parachute was estimated at $28 Million.

 

 

 

**OBAMA CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTIONS:

 

“An analysis of campaign finance records shows that about two-thirds of his bundlers are concentrated in four major industries: law, securities and investments, real estate and entertainment. Lawyers make up the largest group, numbering roughly 130, with many of them working for firms that also have lobbying arms. At least 100 Obama bundlers are top executives or brokers from investment businesses: nearly two dozen work for financial titans like Lehman Brothers, Goldman Sachs or Citigroup. About 40 others come from the real estate industry.”

FINANCIAL CRISIS

THE CAUSE IN A NUTSHELL

 

by Don Colony 14 author

 

<http://www.colony14.net> 

 

September 29th, 2008 at 8:09 pm

 

<http://foxforum.blogs.foxnews.com/2008/09/29/atantaros_09292/> 

 

The cause, in a nutshell:

 

1. Congress (under Jimmy Carter) passes a bill making it illegal for

banks to “redline” (that is, they can’t ignore poor neighborhoods

because that would be discrimination).

 

2. In 1992, Clinton can’t get elected by saying “Vote for me and I’ll

give $250,000 in tax dollars to all poor people so they can buy a house”

so he instead says “I feel your pain” to get into office.

 

3. Clinton changes the rules so that banks are faced with $10,000 fines

(or 1% of assets, whichever is less) per-loan-application if they

discriminate against the poor. In other words, the government FORCES

banks to make bad loans.

 

4. To soften the load, Clinton reduces the Fannie Mae “reserve

requirement” to an astoundingly low 2.5%! (They need to keep only $2.50

in cash for every $100 loaned!) Banks, faced with $10,000 fines, respond

by making bad loans and immediately dumping them on Fannie Mae.

 

5. Clinton rule changes also require banks to count WELFARE CHECKS AND

FOOD STAMPS as “income” for loan applications!

 

6. Senate Democrats demand that Fannie Mae buy more bad loans to “help

the poor become homeowners.”

 

7. Radicals Islamists attack the U.S. on 9/11. To keep the economy from

tanking because of the terrorist attack, the Federal Reserve keeps

interest rates artifically low – to stimulate the economy. These low

interest rates make it even easier for people to get mortgages.

 

8. Because Fannie Mae is buying up bad loans like candy, banks keep

making them.

 

9. Conservatives see the handwriting on the wall and start complaining.

 

10. Fannie Mae CEOs James Johnson and Franklin Raines “cook the books”

to give themselves, and other former Clinton buddies at Fannie Mae,

bigger bonuses.

 

11. Raines (like, Johnson, later an Obama advisor) is forced to resign

and pay back millions.

 

12. Because many poor people entered the housing market, there are MORE

buyers chasing the same number of houses available. That makes prices go

up – much faster than the inflation rate. (Duh! If more people want the

same house, the seller can charge more!)

 

13. More conservatives warn Congress of trouble ahead. Barney Frank

(D-MA) and other Dems say “Don’t worry, be happy.” Maxine Waters (D-CA)

says Republicans are racists for wanting to rein in Fannie Mae to

prevent poor blacks from buying houses. Waters praises the crook

Franklin Raines.

 

14. John McCain submits a Fannie Mae reform bill in 2005. Senator Chris

Dodd (D-CN) gets his fellow Dems to promptly vote against it; it never

leaves his banking committee and thus never gets voted on by the full

Senate. Dodd gets a boatload of cash from Fannie Mae for his campaigns,

more than any other Senator (Obama is in second place).

 

15. Everything explodes in 2008.

 

16. Secretary Paulson (a Democrat) persuades a non-functioning President

Bush to go along with a bailout.

 

17. At a White House meeting, Dems feed their talking points to Obama so

he can look good. He screws up, and lambasts the Republicans – angering

them enough so that they have no desire to help.

 

18. Frank, Dodd, Reid, Pelosi blame the Republicans. The media piles on,

ignoring the real cause of the crisis, in an effort to elect their

socialist pal Obama. They all know the Dems caused the problems, but why

burden Americans with the truth?

 

TIME TO RUN THE RATS OUT OF WASHINGTON, AND THE CHIEF RAT IS BHO.

 

Evidence the World Has Gone Mad #3

 

Italians claim Spike Lee’s new movie is full of lies about Italians and WWII.  Spike told the Italians to pound sand, saying there’s “a lot about your history you have yet to come to grips with.” (Yeah, yeah . . . remember that whole Caesar thang too!)  Does Spike have something against Italians? 

 

Not long ago, Spike told Clint Eastwood to pound sand after Eastwood objected to Spike claiming Eastwood misrepresented Blacks in his WWII movies.  As far as Spike is concerned, anyone who contradicts his grip on history is a racist.  

 

Shall we fight WWII all over again, perhaps the Civil War?

 

In economic news, Newt Gingrich suggested a different approach to the financial crisis, an alternative to raping the taxpayers, as proposed.  He suggests cutting capital gains taxes, plus a non-legislative approach, ending “mark-to-market accounting.” Gingrich says that last bit will instantly flow hundreds of billions of dollars into the parched credit landscape.

 

The liberals appear to hate the idea. Conservatives seem to like Gingrich’s remedy.   Consequently, forget it.   It’s a partisan thing.  (Liberals also hated the idea three years ago brought by McCain to fix Fannie/Freddie.  Too bad Barney Frank and Chris Dodd were too busy feeding at the trough to clean up those Democrat Houses of Corruption, the genesis of the mortgage, housing, and credit crises.)

 

On to Hollywood, known for systemic intellectual prowess: This week, Demi Moore and her boy toy Ashton Kutcher (someone’s in the kitchen with Kutcher) stopped by to tell a bunch of Iowa college students they should vote for Obama, and the students said, thanks for coming, we already planned on doing that, can we have an autograph and a no-interest college loan?  Demi said sure, after each of you register 1,000 new Dem voters, and hand out these free condoms, reminding students, “We’re only trying to protect the voters.”

 

Kutcher said McCain is insane, offering an original thought: “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.” 

 

Demi said Republicans are arrogant.  Arrogant.  Arrogant.  Arrogant!

 

Ashton screamed, “Nobody has any money because of the war in Iraq.”  Then, Ashton and Demi flew their private jet to another Iowa college, expecting different results.

 

Lawmaker News: When the House voted down the $700B bailout, Barney Frank, the Lisping Leopard of the House, blamed unethical/immoral Republicans. They instantly thanked him for promoting them in the voters’ eyes. You remember Barney, the gay congressman who admitted he paid gay prostitute/pimp Stephen Gobie for sex while Stephen was running a gay prostitution service out of Barney’s Capitol Hill apartment? Was that a taxpayer-funded social program?  Yes, and today, Barney, now a homosexual dinosaur, lectures us about immorality. 

 

Barney, one of the architects of the Fannie/Freddie screw up, still has the arrogance and shamelessness required to go before the cameras without conscience, demonizing good people.

 

In more fiscal news: Monday, the market dropped like Barney Frank’s pants, and then it was up! One report says the economy is growing, consumer confidence is up, and oil prices are dropping, like Congressional approval ratings. What the . . . ?      Buy bonds!

 

Two days ago, Speaker Pelosi had the opportunity of a lifetime to make progressive history speaking to the nation from the floor of the House, urging passage of the bailout.  Instead, she used the pulpit to vilify the President, Republicans, and Wall Street. She then went on to glorify Barney Frank and other Dem conspirators.  Consequently, Pyromaniac Pelosi saw the bill go down in flames. Afterwards, she denied she threw a Molotov Cocktail, immediately invoking the Ashton Maxim, blaming the President, Republicans, and Wall Street, expecting different results. 

 

(Of course, now, Napalm Nancy is working to raise taxes on Main Street.  That’ll teach those bone heads in fly over country!)

 

Neil Cavuto seems to like the idea of no bailouts: it’s time for us to bite the bullet and right the financial ship.   Former GE CEO Jack Welsh thinks we need the bailout or we will eat it big time.   If the House vote reflects the will of the people, Cavuto is the populist. Perhaps Main Street is smarter than Wall Street.

 

In entertainment news:  Woody Allen says it will be “an embarrassment, humiliating,” if we fail to elect Obama. 

 

Woody is familiar with embarrassing humiliation.  This is the same guy whose moral compass led him to have an affair with the adopted daughter of his lover Mia Farrow.  Allen’s woody was discovered when Mia found nude photos of her daughter in Woody’s apartment.   Woody later married the girl, in Italy. The entire saga is the subject of Spike Lee’s next Italian movie, said to star Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher in role reversals for dramatic effect. Because of the war in Iraq, they are strapped for cash and living with Ashton’s mom in Iowa in a house financed by Freddie Mac.

 

On the foreign policy front: international war horse Joe Biden says his helicopter was “forced down” when he visited Afghanistan, and, when he was in Iraq in 2005, in the Green Zone, shaving, he was “shot at.”  Turns out the helicopter was “forced down” by bad weather, not those nasty terrorists. In the Green Zone, while he and another senator were shaving, “the building shook.” 

 

The other senator later admitted it was gas, you know, morning gas, all that spicy Iraqi food the night before, really gets to a guy!  Biden thought it was a mortar. 

 

Biden on the hunt for Osama bin Laden—”If you want to know where Al Qaeda lives, you want to know where Bin Laden is, come back to Afghanistan with me,” Biden bragged to the National Guard Association. “Come back to the area where my helicopter was forced down, with a three-star general and three senators at 10,500 feet in the middle of those mountains. I can tell you where they are.”

 

Joe knows where Osama is but he won’t lift a finger to get him so Obama can kill him!?   Come on Joe!  To the gates of hell!  (And to the pages of history where Roosevelt is on TV in 1929 telling everyone not to fear the Crash, but to fear only fear! Trouble is: Hoover was President in 1929 and television did not exist at that time.)

 

In other politically correct news: Dan Pfeiffer, Obama’s communications director, says Biden is a “huge ass-et.” Huge.  Let Biden be Biden!  (I voted against the Gulf War, before I voted for the Iraq War, then I read the polls and immediately opposed the Iraq War, and voted against the Surge, and now I want immediate with drawl because McCain is wrong about everything!)   This is the Sen. Biden who recommended we simply partition Iraq.  One wonders how Biden would react if Maliki proposed partitioning the United States.  I guess Joe forgot Iraq belongs to the Iraqis.

 

Obama says he is glad he selected Biden. 

 

Biden is honored Obama selected him. 

 

The wedding is January 20, invitation only, Jeremiah Wright officiating, asking: “Do you take this bribe.”

 

Spike is the videographer.  Woody will blow horn. Ashton is best man, expecting different results.  Demi is humbled by the sacred experience.  Soros is catering.  Barney Frank is THE bride’s maid. Pelosi will sing, “Come On Baby Light My Fire.”  Pfeiffer is the ring bearer. And Mia Farrow will cut the cake (she’ got a knife!), a cake baked by Oprah (beware the leaven), while John Edwards recites vows. 

 

Molotov Cocktails will be served by paid interns with Public Allies, MoveOn dot orgasm, ACORN and the LGBT Alliance. 

 

Hillary expects to catch the bouquet. 

 

Bill will help himself to the interns. 

 

And, Chris Dodd, as always, will be in charge of the gifts, while the poor eat cake.
