Don't go muddying up the water with facts... wild accusations are so much more fun


It's sad that you think it's funny and worthy of mocking.

Now now, don't fib...


One of McCain's team worked for a lobbyist that had Fannie as a client after he left.


Obama on the other hand, had the disgraced former CEO of Fannie as part of his VP selection team.

I know that this may be disregarded by some because it's Fox news, but I thought this report was very enlightening.

Well jeeez, settle. I didn't ask you anything about that.


Preferably why I like to have an actual source, not just a friend or family member (aka gossip), telling me the facts about the government and the President's intentions.


I told you they were family members and then you asked who my sources were - so yes, you did ask me about that.

My response was more a tongue in cheek response because you are not taking all the facts available into your responses here. Just this morning, I was listening to Bill Clinton on the Today Show and he was responding to a question about how the DEREGULATION he signed in had played a part in this situation. He responded that yes, it HAD played a part, but that at the time he signed the bill into law it was not perceived to be as risky as it turned out to be in the end (that is a point I agree with him on, he shouldn't be completely criticized for enacting legislation that AT THE TIME would help lower income people get home loans). Also, the Republicans tried to get MORE regulation into effect in 2006, with the endorsement of Pres. Bush, so your characterization that the Republicans are the only ones with a part of the blame in the present situation is disingenuous and ignores facts in evidence- hence my response.

Yes, that is my house in my signature. Several years ago, my husband got a job offer to return to Alaska (we had lived here before when hubby was in the military and we loved it). It wasn't an easy decision as we gave up almost $15,000 in salary, and our lifestyle is quite a bit more humble here than it was in Texas, but we don't regret it at all. The pace of life is quite a bit more laid back and we have way more time to enjoy family.

Right...


I can't tell you because it would put my family in jeopardy, to post here anonymously...


But, you should believe it, because I say it's true.


And by the way, would you be interested in this bridge?

I agree that politicians on all sides had a hand in the current mess - but to paint it to be the sole fault of Democrats is totally absurd and irresponsible. I was responding the fact there are so many here only wishing to place blame in one direction. What's funny is that there are probably a ton of ppl here on the board that irresponsibly took on mortgages/homes they can't afford thereby also creating this financial mess.
