John McCain, today, finally starts talking about Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, the irresponsible leadership at both, and the Democrats’ efforts to prevent serious oversight:Our current economic crisis is a good case in point. What was his actual record in the years before the great economic crisis of our lifetimes?
This crisis started in our housing market in the form of subprime loans that were pushed on people who could not afford them. Bad mortgages were being backed by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and it was only a matter of time before a contagion of unsustainable debt began to spread. This corruption was encouraged by Democrats in Congress, and abetted by Senator Obama.
Senator Obama has accused me of opposing regulation to avert this crisis. I guess he believes if a lie is big enough and repeated often enough it will be believed. But the truth is I was the one who called at the time for tighter restrictions on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac that could have helped prevent this crisis from happening in the first place.
Senator Obama was silent on the regulation of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and his Democratic allies in Congress opposed every effort to rein them in. As recently as September of last year he said that subprime loans had been, quote, “a good idea.†Well, Senator Obama, that “good idea†has now plunged this country into the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression.
To hear him talk now, you’d think he’d always opposed the dangerous practices at these institutions. But there is absolutely nothing in his record to suggest he did. He was surely familiar with the people who were creating this problem. The executives of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have advised him, and he has taken their money for his campaign. He has received more money from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac than any other senator in history, with the exception of the chairman of the committee overseeing them. Did he ever talk to the executives at Fannie and Freddie about these reckless loans? Did he ever discuss with them the stronger oversight I proposed? If Senator Obama is such a champion of financial regulation, why didn’t he support these regulations that could have prevented this crisis in the first place? He won’t tell you, but you deserve an answer.
Amen. Finally. Keep doing it  don’t let this be a one-speech wonder. This has to be a huge part of the message for the coming days.
Never mind for the presidential election  if the country is to avoid a similar run of reckless bets in the future, we have to be clear-eyed about what got us into this mess in the first place.
Notes Moe Lane at Red State:
Looks like we’re going to have one whale of a debate tomorrow, assuming of course that we can get past the junior Senator from Illinois whining for twenty minutes about how mean we’re being to him. And racist! Mustn’t forget the racism; God knows that his supporters never do. So let’s rock and roll. It’ll be a thing.
I’ll add only what I’ve added on several other occasions here this past week, namely, that McCain and Palin should embrace the chance to take on the race-baiters and the establishment feminists — both constituencies against which I think ordinary Americans will happily rebel, given the impetus and the political cover to do so.
Earlier, USNews and World Reports noted that McCain was avoiding the Fannie Freddie mess because he feared being labeled an enemy of the poor and “racist” by Democrats; he also believed an explanation for the mortgage meltdown was beyond the comprehension of ordinary voters.
Thankfully, someone in his campaign convinced him to listen to the conservative base (and even those like me who viewed his unwillingness to make a tough case as a sign of his weakness), who have been pleading with him to take the case to the American people, and to confront Senator Obama on his ties to the crisis (and his campaign’s ties, on the advisory level, to those principally responsible).
– Or maybe it finally occurred to Senator McCain that those most unlikely to either understand the crisis or care about what brought it about were already voting for Senator Obama, anyway.. So what’s the harm in aiming above the low-information voters who are going to pull the lever for the younger charismat even were he to show up at the next debate dressed in a big sable hat and answering every question with quotes from the Huey Newton Reader.*

Bonus: Palin zeroes in on Obama/Wright connection.
Looks like ANWR is not the only thing on which Palin and McCain disagree.
Comment by dicentra on 10/6 @ 1:03 pm #
Hey, about two hours ago, I faxed a message to McCain’s senate office, saying “Cowboy up, Senator. Kick ass and take names. You promised to make them famous.” I also included these quotes:
“McCain cannot be willing to sell out the market for votes  even if he’s concerned that mention of Democratic ties to certain legislation that precipitated the current crisis could be construed (incorrectly) by the American people as somehow racist.
After all, it is his job as candidate for President to make the case firmly and cogently, and to use any attempts by Democrats to race bait to segue into that candid “dialogue on race†Obama was supposed to be leading us through in the first place.
Time to step up, McCain. Using big business as a convenient arch criminal for every crisis is why most conservatives mistrust you. Earn your support. Otherwise know that even if you do manage to become President, you will have done so on the strength of the Anybody But Obama vote.”
So. You know. Cause and effect.
You’re welcome. :D

McCain was holding off because his funds are more limited, and he had to concentrate his fire.
McCain was holding off so as not to jinx the bailout, crappy though it was. Now the bailout has been signed.
McCain was holding off for strategic reasons: in this election, with no incumbent, and (thanks to assiduous work by McCain) no-one strongly linked to the incumbent, a lot of people will vote based upon what comes out in the last month.
It puts me in mind of the climactic fight scene in “V for Vendetta”: “My turn.”

Everybody including the bigots knew Jackie Robinson was an outstanding player. That made the opposition to his entry clear to the bigots, who got soreheaded about it. I heard a lot of that in my youth. And it would all have fallen down if Robinson had been a .100 hitter who ducked when the ball came his way.

YOur ex-pal , John Cole said it very well:
When the Republicans took over the White House in 2000, the DOW was at around 10,600. Currently, the DOW is 9824. In 2000, when Bush and the Republicans took office, we had a budget surplus of about 230 billion. This year, we are expected to run approximately a half-trillion dollar deficit, and that was before the trillion we have tossed on to the national debt in the last few weeks. But here is the most startling statistic- all previous forty-two presidents, in the history of this nation, had a combined national debt of approximately 5.5 trillion. George W. Bush and the Republican administration have almost doubled the debt of his 42 predecessors, as our national debt is over ten trillion (and that does not count all the chicanery with social security obligations and the like). George Bush and Republican rule have been a DISASTER. There is no other term for it. John McCain may think he is being unfairly tarnished with this, but it is important to remember that he has been with Bush all the way on things, and intends to continue the Bush policies that helped to get us where we are. We are on the edge of a cliff, and John McCain wants to keep walking forward (no doubt his running mate things jumping would be a good leap of faith). So whinge about Bill Ayers. Whine about Rezko. Babble to your heart’s content about Fannie Mae. Scream Freddie Mac and Barney “Fag†all you want. These are silly, last minute desperate distractions, and the American people know who is responsible for this mess.
Good conservatives should be welcoming the electoral tsunami that is about to wipe Republicans off the map- after all, they are the ones always preaching about personal responsibility, right? The only thing I do not understand is how there are still some reasonably intelligent people out the who would vote for Johnny Drama and Bible Spice. It makes absolutely no sense to me, other than raw tribalism.

No, as a matter of fact he wasn’t. There were other players as good or better, but that was never the point. The point was that he was clearly good enough to play major league ball, better in fact than many if not most of the white players who’d gotten in ahead of him, and therefore excluding him was clearly unfair not just to Robinson, but to the ball club, who needed good players.
And none of it would ever have happened anyway if it hadn’t been for people like my father, who was a racist of the “it’s too bad the Negroes can’t make it” variety, but was impressed by the performance of the “colored” in doing the gruntwork of logistics in WWII, often enough under fire. If there had been no Red Ball Express, Jackie Robinson would have played out his career in the Negro Leagues.

Does anyone remember the first black man to be allowed in the ALL WHITE Major League? Jackie Robinson was selected because everyone knew that to be successful in integrating a BLACK MAN into the white man’s game, he would have to be slow to anger because he would have to suffer a lot of insults. The insults came from his own teammates, the fans and other citizens. He kept smiling and that was what was needed.
Stuff it, Cleo — I grew up in Brooklyn, 10 minutes from Ebbet’s Field. We — little white kids of blue collar immigrants — loved that guy. When you saw him play, the rickety old stands filled with half black and half white, there was no thought of integration or anger or any other damn thing — just the cry “Jackie Robinson, hit that ball!” You want to call him something? Call him a uniter, for us, in Brooklyn.
Don’t dishonor his memory by comparing him to the privileged, corrupt divisive charlatan now running for the highest office of the land.

“Obama Doesn’t Pass the Mainstream Smell Test [Peter Kirsanow]
As Mark Levin notes below, Obama presents himself as mainstream. I suspect that almost every Cornerite could make each of the following statements:
* My career was not launched with the assistance of an unrepentant terrorist.
* My pastor has never said “God damn America.”
* I don’t think our troops are “just air-raiding villages and killing civilians.”
* My spouse doesn’t think America is a “downright mean country.”
* I’ve never sat on a board with an unrepentant terrorist.
* I’ve never directed millions of dollars to radical organizations.
* I’ve never opposed requiring medical care for babies who are born alive.
* I bought my home without assistance from a convicted felon.
* I’ve never taken my kids to a church whose pastor thinks AIDS was created by the government.
If Obama’s mainstream, most Americans are extremists.”

In related news, the Dow closed below 10 grand and should drop another 4%-5% during the next day or two. (which means that it is 28% - or bit - down from a year ago.)This afternoon’s ‘rally’ from -700 down was based on a rumored international rate cut that just ain’t gonna happen.
Of course, trying to fix a busted economy by using the very Keynesian theories which got us here - is a bit like asking your local pyromaniac to put out the house fire that he started. The rampant corruption in D.C. was just a bonus, kinda like asking the pyro’s buddies to help put out the fire …by throwing gasoline on it.

I’ve said several times over the past two weeks, in part to gird myself, that Mav was simply keeping his powder dry until the the bailout deal was struck; so he couldn’t be legitimately blamed for queering the deal by any but the most hyper-partisan/criminally culpable Democrats of the sycophantic MSM…
He’s been letting O! essentially call him a liar for the same time in order to provide the opening for an appropriate response; like the ones he and his campaign are using to unload on him with now…
Also, he didn’t want to go with it too soon and allow the fifth column an opportunity to bury the assertions without a debate in the offing; an opportunity for him to talk past the MSM and directly to the American people…
I mean, he’s old, and remembers the advice of William Prescott at Bunker hill…

Upthread you noted:
Were you trying to say Obama is a zero? That’s a rather disrespectful thing to say about a Presidential nominee.
Or, were you trying to say that Obama lives in a binary world, a Manichean world without nuance. A world of black and white, if you will?
BRD
Comment by Jeff G. on 10/6 @ 4:33 pm #
Hoot –
If you have the time to post in this thread, you have the time to answer me in the last, I suspect.
Just to remind you, that was your response to my request that you back up your assertions and engage the arguments made by either Mr Hardy or me.
And even this is a bit ridiculous: I can point to a number of posts over the last several months that deal with just about every issue on the table. I put this to another troll the other day, and now I’ll put it to you: what besides economic policy, tax policy, animating political philosophy and ideology, judicial philosophy, position on the war(s), taxation, health care, military readiness, use of diplomacy, relationship with allies, NATO, relationship to Israel and the Palestinian territory, attitude toward free speech — and I’m sure there are other topics I’ve written on wrt Obama — would you like to discuss?
As to whether or not discussing the Democrats’ role in the current mortgage crisis is appropriate — you seem to think I should be talking about something else, given that this is not a “winner” in your estimation — well, why don’t you drop a note in the suggestion box, and if I like what I find, maybe I’ll write on that, instead.
Mean time, I think I’ll stick to what’s topical — even as I’m able, thanks to the nature of this site, to cover a number of topics a day.

Sashal,
Given your pronounced allergy to the “neocons”, I would imagine that you would be relatively guarded about some of the sweeping assertions and promises made by the Obama campaign. Among the many things Obama is doing, campaigning as a realist doesn’t seem to be one of them.

This is good, from Patterico:
“Now that the McCain campaign has launched its attack, the response today by Obama further establishes that they have genuine fear over how it might play out.
First, they drag out the Keating Five scandal. Not only is it ancient, not only was McCain exonerated by an independent investigation, and not only did the Senate Ethics Committee find he had done nothing wrong, McCain has worn his error in judgment in acting on behalf of a constituent as a “Red Badge of Courageâ€Â, citing it as the foundation for his career-long effort to combat the influence of special interests in the legislative process. Even Andrea Mitchell was voicing skepticism this morning when interviewing an Obama campaign official about whether this pushback had any real substance behind it.”

I think we are looking at this the wrong way, guys .
Seven years after 9/11, the Democrats have nominated a black guy whose dad was from Kenya, whose middle name is Hussein, whose pastor said “God damn America,” who apparently “launched his political career” in the living room of a guy who was in a terrorist group.
The result? They’re going to easily win the Presidency and have commanding majorities in both the Senate and the House.
That’s how out of touch the Republicans are right now. And Sarah Palin can wink at Joe Sixpack all she wants, it’s not going to change that.
I just love the demise of anti-American GOP.

here, brainwashed ones. Read this. And remember FOX brainwashed you thoroughly, you idiots lost any ability for an independent thinking.
Calling the Anti-Defamation League, Bill Kristol, Charles Krauthammer, David Brooks, and other defenders of Jewish people against slime artists of all political persuasions:
Sean Hannity’s Fox News Sunday night kitchen-sink sewer job on Barack Obama, complete with a sound-track cribbed from C- porn flicks, features prominently, as witness of Obama’s iniquity, one Andy Martin, “author and journalist,” and, though not identified as such on Fox News, perennial political candidate in four states.
Among Martin’s contributions to fairness and balance, this nifty aphorism: “I think a community organizer is someone who was in training to overthrow the government of the United States of America.”
Martin previously crawled out from under a rock, according to Matthew Mosk in the WP, to “take credit for posting the first article to assert that the Illinois senator was a Muslim.” More recently, he claimed, contrary to fact, that Obama, whom he called a “media witch doctor,” has “locked his granny away and refused to allow her to be seen” in order to “pretend he has no white relatives.”
Martin has been crawling beneath the rocks for quite some time.
According to no less a source than the Unification Church’s impeccably right-wing Washington Times of December 22, 1999:
In 1986, when Mr. Martin ran as a Democrat for Connecticut’s 3rd Congressional District seat under the name “Anthony R. Martin-Trigona,” his campaign committee filed papers saying its purpose was to “exterminate Jew power in America and impeach U.S. District Court of Appeals judges in New York City.”
The Washington Times’ reporter, Ralph Z. Hallow, went on to say: “a Connecticut federal judge finally barred him from filing any more federal lawsuits without permission. The judge said Mr. Martin has pursued legal actions with ‘persistence, viciousness, and general disregard for decency and logic.’”
Hallow went on:
In a New York bankruptcy case, he referred to a judge as a “crooked, slimy Jew.” During the bankruptcy dispute, he filed a civil-rights lawsuit claiming Jewish bankruptcy judges and lawyers were conspiring to steal his property. He asked a court to bar “any Jew from having anything to do with plaintiff’s property.”
In another motion in the case, he wrote: “I am able to understand how the Holocaust took place, and with every passing day feel less and less sorry that it did, when Jew survivors are operating as a wolf pack to steal my property.”
According to Hallow, he “ran for the Republican nomination for governor of Florida against the incumbent, Bob Martinez, in 1990. The Florida Republican Party disavowed him because he previously ran for office as a Democrat and because of his anti-Semitic statements.”
This is Sean Hannity’s idea of a source.
Does Bill Kristol care? David Brooks? Abe Foxman?
John McCain? Sarah Palin?
TPM
Comment by ThomasD on 10/6 @ 7:28 pm #
They are terrified. Obama has been knocked off message and they are scrambling to come up with a response. I’m sure there’s a lot of expensive planned advertising that will now go unused. So sad.
But really these are just symptoms of a deeper problem, a problem his campaign knows they cannot defeat, because to confront it, even to mention it, is to confirm it.
I don’t think Obama thinks he is hiding anything from the people.
No seriously. He thinks Ayers et.al. are merely a problem for the ultr-right. It’s his handlers who know better. His handlers have a working knowledge of the American electorate. They know that Ayers, Wright, etc. all go down as smooth as a crushed glass cocktail.
Obama, due to his upbringing, years spent out of the US, and his sheltered existence of ivory tower and Chicago politics simply has no clue what the American people are like. He truly does not know what he needs to say or do, all he know is that his advisers have told him about topics he needs to avoid, and he has attempted to do so.
The left loves to talk about politicians who are dangerously out of touch. Well, that’s Obama, they know it, and they fear that too many people stand to recognize it in the near future. That’s what the Obama camp fears, that the collective effects of Wright, Dohrn, Ayers, and even Michelle, will betray his fundamental disconnect with American values and distinction is what will crush him.

Well, Sash, from your posting I gleaned a few things:
* He ran as a Democrat and a lunatic anti-semite in 1986. It’s not apparent the Democrats had a problem with him.
* He ran as a Republican in 1990, also anti-semitic, and the Republicans had a big problem with him.
* No idea if he’s still an anti-semite or, if he is, that Hannity is aware of the fact.
* What this has to do with McCain is anyone’s guess.
It doesn’t strike me as bad as Obama’s former top foreign policy advisor wanting to invade Israel to save Hamas’ bacon.

Sashal,
Please stop the talking point recitital; especially the part about the budget surplus when the eeeeeeevil Chimpy BusHitlerBurton took office. It’s just insulting for anyone who actually pays attention to budget wonkery.
Anyone paying attention to all of the Peace Dividend bull being shoveled by former President Clinton, knows that around the same time he deftly had the Social Security Trust fund, a seperate trust that Reagan and Tip O’neil did the political heavy lifying on to get set aside from the general fund, merged back into the general revenues. Indeed, that is one of the reasons that it will start bankrupting us as a nation in less than 20 years-because we’ve been spending the money instead of letting it grow as it should have…
Any Questions? Go to I.O.U.S.A.com and you see a presentation on it…
And as for the Dow? Puh-Leeeez! Anyone who wasn’t spending their time skate-boarding at that time knows that the dot-come bubble had just burst as well as the collapse of Enron; and the market, and the overall economy, were already sliding downhill headfirst…
So please, spare us the whole Democrats run the economy better meme; those who lived it know that argument is simply smoke and mirrors…
Or does pointing that out make me a RAAAAAAAAACIST!!11!1eleventy!111!!

Spies, I dismiss out of hand your attempt to toss this shitpile into Obama’s lap. I can’t recall how many times I entreated my congresspeople since 2004 to shut the easy money faucet. Never worked; we’re screwed now.
Comment by Darleen on 10/6 @ 9:01 pm #
Capitalistic economic systems go through periods of expansion and contraction. A wise government only interfers as much as it is needed to keep the swings shallow. There was a housing bubble in the early-mid 90’s, the dot com run up and bust was a feature of the Clinton admin.
The contemporary housing bubble, fueled greatly by the market interference by GSE’s was bound to burst … but the unrealistic leveraging, fraud, gaming, etc … made this down swing more severe. The subprime meltdown has dragged down other parts of the ecomony because so much liquidity was tied up in bundles of good/bad risk.
So what to do when the lack of credit threatens solid businesses and individuals? Make liquidity a priority or shut down the flow of capital?
Hmmmm…. think about it? /snark
Obama’s proposals - restriction of trade, confiscatory taxes - will shut down the flow of capital. Wrong moves at the wrong time … by ignorance or design (in order to force society away from capitalism and into socialism) … Barry’s SPECIFIC PROPOSALS will worsen the economy and WILL turn a recession into a Depression.

Those are facts.

I don’t have a link but I just read that Anderson Cooper just did a investigation into Zeros and Ayers connections, even had Stanley Kurtz on.
They determined that Zero has been lying about the extent of their relation.
Strange world we live in, maybe all the booing and heckling at the Republican rallies is having a effect. Na no way!
Comment by cynn on 10/6 @ 9:12 pm #
Spies, so what? So what if McCain, Obama, and the Vienna Boys Choir supported the fucking thing? Is that not an inkling of how blinkered and/or ignorant politicians were and are? They have been politically shepherded and rushed through a process not of their own making or design.

Floating an idea:
I’m a Bush guy. You know - last 300 and all that.
But McCain has to separate himself from GW, so it’s not Obama vs. BushIII, but Obama vs. Obama.
I’d like to see McCain start with something along the lines of:
“A lot has been made about how the McCain Administration will be a continuation of the Bush Administration and I’d like to demonstrate why that is not true. George W. Bush is committed to preserving the dignity of the office of president to his own detriment. George Bush is a great man of faith and a compassionate man, slow to point out others’ faults, let alone their lies.
But in times like these, in this dangerous world, decorum must be shelved when considering electing a man with no experience, no record of reform, and no answers to questions like “Why did you launch your political career at the house of a known domestic terrorist?” or “Why did you stand silent when I predicted the collapse of our economy due to the reckless business practices of Fannie/Freddie?”
The McCain Ticket will not stand silent while Americans get only one side of the story from a liberal press bent on trading American Exceptionalism for socialism. Let’s not let NYC, Hollywood, or Chicago lead us down this dangerous destructive path.
I’m John McCain, and I’m going to beat Obama’s ass.
Comment by royf on 10/7 @ 7:31 am #
Hey alppuccino I think you have a good idea and I agree McCain needs to do his best to point out these extraordinary circumstances.
I also agree with your points about GWB putting the office and country above his personal reputation. You can also count me among that 300 you referred to.

I keep telling them- I’ll be happy to debate McCain’s plans vs. O’s plans but nobody really knows what O’s plans are. So I have to resort to “attacks” on his character.

Same with Palin. He got that hillbilly stuff out right away to toughen people up. And now Palin is saying “Fuck that “racist” bullshit. I’m telling like it is! Who’s with me? Maverick?” And then Mav says, “You’re fuckin’ aye right Cuda! I’m gonna put Obama Mocha Latte ass in a Fannie Mae figure-four tonight and I’m not letting him up!”

I have rather taken a liking to that little turn of a phrase. May I use it, please?
Actually it reminds me of the Iranian backed terror-tards I saw around Basrah. Endless rounds of rocket fire at the Airport, where some Brits were, and all the while a division and a half of the Iraqi Army were carving them up like an Eid mutton platter… not much deep thought going on there, but they really did have the redundant part down.

You mean like the Chimpanzees at the Circus? I hear they can be trained to do most anything, including behaving like racist pigs.
And we are the racists?

Well I have a fantasy that the trolls on this site started speaking English and actually posting things other than talking points or easily refuted lies.

Does he have punch? He’s no Kimbo.

Well Cleo would you give me a reason why you hate him then?
And yes Al I was high. They gave me these dam tylenol 3 with codeine while I wait for my crown to come in.

Obviously Cleo, you didn’t see the 14 second fight(Kimbo didn’t throw a punch, but he did hit the floor), and therefore, have no idea what you’re talking about. SHOCKA!

They make those breast cancery M&Ms where they all come in shades of pink. They freak me out cause they all look like little tumors. I really don’t think these were focus-grouped at all.

Nah I had a shitty dentist who jacked up my fillings. A new dentist and 1600 dollars worth of dental work later I have half a tooth drilled out and 5 new fillings. I have a temporary crown in right now and I am waiting till they get one made at a lab or something and can permanently set it in my mouth. My last dentist was a freakin sadist jackass. He basically left a cavity under one of my fillings so it sat there rotting out my tooth from the inside where no amount of brushing would reach it.

Oh I know this one. It’s a metaphor for datadave.
Just kidding Pink. Hope you’re on the solid food again real soon.
….little tumors. That’s genius. I’m hungry.

Well, no, I don’t mean anything of the sort. But I can certainly see where your mind goes. Which, really, is an odd place.
I see a man, Obama, who can appear to be a “distinguished” legislator without having legislated anything remotely distinguished. Then I think of the con-artist Frank Abagnale Jr. as portrayed by Leonardo DiCaprio, dressing up as an airline pilot and fooling gullible people.
You, on the other hand, immediately leap to a chimp in a suit and pretend a chimp can be taught to act like you do. Wow. Brilliant.
