I have long wondered about our leaders and also the citizens of this Nation. We never look past our own noses, and if we do, we become wet diaper wearers. Demo-Rats are far worse, but our leaders are giving away our Country. So, what does cost more than the IRAQI WAR? I have long wondered about this question and what we balance our Freedom with.
THE
DEMOCRATS AND THE REPUBLICANS GO HIDE WHEN THESE QUESTIONS ARE ASKED, WHY?
WHAT COSTS MORE PER YEAR THANTHE IRAQ WAR?

Barack Obama claims he was poor and worked hard to get to this point in his Life. I have some questions I would love to ask him, but I know that is impossible! Why does Fox News and the MSM ignore very Basic Questions? Why did they travel to Alaska to Investigate a Woman, who is that states Gov.? I know some on here have all of the answers about the "CHOSEN MUSLIM", yes, MUSLIM straight from HIS mouth! Here are some questions that have got to be answered TRUTHFULLY, and NOW.
Around 1979 Obama started college at Occidental in California . He is very open about his two years at Occidental, he tried all kinds of drugs and was wasting his time but, even though he had a brilliant mind, did not apply himself to his studies. 'Barry' (that was the name he used all his life) during this time had two roommates, Muhammad Hasan Chandoo and Wahid Hamid, both from Pakistan . During the summer of 1981, after his second year in college, he made a 'round the world' trip. Stopping to see his mother in Indonesia , next Hyderabad in India , three weeks in Karachi , Pakistan where he stayed with his roommate's family, then off to Africa to visit his father's family. My question - Where did he get the money for this trip? Nether I, nor any one of my children would have had money for a trip like this when they where in college. When he came back he started school at Columbia University in New York . It is at this time he wants everyone to call him Barack - not Barry. Do you know what the tuition is at Columbia ? It's not cheap to say the least! Where did he get money for tuition? Student Loans? Maybe. After Columbia , he went to Chicago to work as a Community Organizer for $12,000 a year. Why Chicago ? Why not New York ? He was already living in New York
By 'chance' he met Antoin 'Tony' Rezko, born in Aleppo Syria , and a real estate developer in Chicago . Rezko has been convicted of fraud and bribery this year. Rezko, was named 'Entrepreneur of the Decade' by the Arab-American Business and Professional Association'. About two years later, Obama entered Harvard Law School . Do you have any idea what tuition is for Harvard Law School ? Where did he get the money for Law School ? More student loans? After Law school, he went back to Chicago . Rezko offered him a job, which he turned down. But, he did take a job with Davis, Miner, Barnhill & Galland. Guess what? They represented 'Rezar' which is Rezko's firm. Rezko was one of Obama's first major financial contributors when he ran for office in Chicago . In 2003, Rezko threw an early fundraiser for Obama which Chicago Tribune reporter David Mendelland claims was instrumental in providing Obama with 'seed money' for his U.S. Senate race. In 2005, Obama purchased a new home in Kenwoood District of Chicago for $1.65 million (less than asking price). With ALL 20 of those Student Loans - Where did he get the money for the property? On the same day Rezko's wife, Rita, purchased the adjoining empty lot for full price. The London Times reported that Nadhmi Auchi, an Iraqi-born Billionaire loaned Rezko $3.5 million three weeks before Obama's new home was purchased. Obama met Nadhmi Auchi many times with Rezko.
Now, we have Obama running for President. Valerie Jarrett, was Michele Obama's boss. She is now Obama's chief advisor and he does not make any major decisions without talking to her first. Where was Jarrett born? Ready for this? Shiraz , Iran ! Do we see a pattern here? Or am I going crazy?
On May 10, 2008 The Times reported, Robert Malley, advisor to Obama, was 'sacked' after the press found out he was having regular contacts with 'Hamas', which controls Gaza and is connected with Iran . This past week, buried in the back part of the papers, Iraqi newspapers reported that during Obama's visit to Iraq, he asked their leaders to do nothing about the war until after he is elected, and he will 'Take care of things'.
Oh, and by the way, remember the college roommates that where born in Pakistan ? They are in charge of all those 'small' Internet campaign contributions for Obama. Where is that money coming from? The poor and middle class in this country? Or could it be from the Middle East ?
And the final bit of news. On September 7, 2008, The Washington Times posted a verbal slip that was made on 'This Week' with George Stephanapoulos. Obama on talking about his religion said, 'My Muslim faith'. When questioned, 'he made a mistake'. Some mistake!
All of the above information I got on-line. If you would like to check it - Wikipedia, encyclopedia, Barack Obama; Tony Rezko; Valerie Jarrett: Daily Times - Obama visited Pakistan in 1981; The Washington Times - September 7, 2008; The Times May 10, 2008.
Now the BIG question - If I found out all this information on my own, Why haven't all of our 'intelligent' members of the press been reporting this?
A phrase that keeps ringing in my ear - 'Beware of the enemy from within'!!!
Change we can't afford for America!!

This is an issue that is on everyones mind of late. Everyone is pointing at everyone else in this Bale-Out Robbery of We the People. Here is something all of us should be interested in.

Fannie Mae Eases Credit To Aid Mortgage Lending
By STEVENA , HOLMES
ln a move that could help increase home ownership rates among minorities and low-income consumers, the Fannie Mae Corporation is easing the credit requirements on loans that it will purchase from banks and other lenders.The action, which will begin as a pilot program involving 24 banks in 15 markets -- including the New York metropolitan region -- will encourage those banks to extend home mortgages to individuals whose credit is generally not good enough to qualify for conventional loans. Fannie Mae officials say they hope to make it a nationwide program by next spring
Fannie Mae, the nation's biggest underwriter of home mortgages, has been under increasing pressure from the Clinton Administration to expand mortgage loans among low and moderate income people and felt pressure from stockholders to maintain it's phenominal growth in profits.
"Fannie Mae has expanded home ownership for millions of families in the 1990's by reducing down payment requirements," said Franklin D. Raines, Fannie Mae's chairman and chief executive officer. "Yet there remain too many borrowers whose credit is just a notch below what our underwriting has required who have been relegated to paying significantly higher mortgage rates in the so-called subprime market."Demographic information on these borrowers is sketchy. But at least one study indicates that l8 percent of the loans in the subprime market went to black borrowers, compared to 5 per cent of loans in the conventional loan market.In moving. even tentativelv. into this new area of lending. Fannie Mae is taking on significantly more risk. which may not pose any difficulties during flush economic times, but the Government-Subsidized Corporation may run into trouble in an economic downturn, prompting a government rescue similar to that of the saving and loan industry in the 1980's. From the perspective of many people, including me, this is another thrift industry growing up around us," said PeterWallison a resident fellow at the American Enterprise Institute. "If they fail. the government will have to step up and bail them out the way it stepped up and bailed out the thrift industry."
Under Fannie Mae's pilot program, consurners who qualify can secure a mortgage with an interest rate one percentagepoint above that of a conventional, 30-year fixed rate mortgage of less than $240,000 -- a rate that currently averages about 7 .76 per cent. If the borrower makes his or her monthly payments on time for two years, the one percentage point premium is dropped.
Fannie Mae, the nation's biggest underwriter of home mortgages, does not lend money directly to consumers. Instead, it purchases loans that banks make on what is called the secondary market. By expanding the type of loans that it will buy,Fannie Mae is hoping to spur banks to make more loans to people with less-than-stellar credit ratings.Fannie Mae officials stress that the new mortgages will be extended to all potential borrowers who can qualify, for a mortgage. But they add that the move is intended in part to increase the number of minority and low income home owners who tend to have worse credit ratings than non-Hispanic and whites.
Home ownership has, in fact, exploded among minorities during the economic boom of the 1990's. The number of mortgages extended to Hispanic applicants jumped by 57.2 per cent from 1993 to 1998, according to Harvard University's Joint Center for Housing Studies. During that same period the number of African Americans who got mortgages to buy a home increased by 71.9 per cent and the number of Asian Americans by 46.3 per cent. In contrast, the number of non-Hispanic and whites who received loans for homes increased by 31.2 per cent. Despite these gains, home ownership rates for minorities continue to lag behind non-Hispanic and whites, in part because blacks and Hispanics in particular tend to have on average worse credit ratings.
In July, the Department of Housing and Urban Development proposed that by the year 2001,50 percent of Fannie Mae's and Freddie Mac's portfolio be made up of loans to low and moderate-income borrowers. Last year, 44 percent of the loans Fannie Mae purchased were from these groups.
The change in policy also comes at the same time that HUD is investigating allegations of racial discrimination in the automated underwriting systems used by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to determine the credit-worthiness of credit applicants.
Now we all KNOW!!
In addition, banks, thrift institutions and mortgage companies have been pressing Fannie Mae to help them make more loans to so-called subprime borrowers. These borrowers whose incomes, credit ratings and savings are not good enough to qualify for conventional loans, can only get loans from finance companies that charge much higher interest rates anywhere from three to four percentage points higher than conventional loans.

We have all watched in Horror as the Muslim terrorist use cartoon characters and singing as a way to Indoctrinate young children to Hate the West (US) and the Jewish People. The Cartoon Characters and Songs are all of HATE, KILLING, and BOMBINGS to make one's self a MARTYR! This is done in nearly every Country and Religion that hates us and Freedom.
The Presidential Candidate; Barack Obama has informed everyone, in no uncertain terms that HIS WIFE and Children are OFF-LIMITS and to be left out of this political process. I agree with him one hundred percent. The Clinton's used their Daughter, an adult on the Campaign Stops, which meant she was fair game, and I agree with that.
Why does OBAMA put His kids off limits, yet use very young children of ours in his Commercials or Political process? This wreaks of the same thing as All of them must learn Spanish, or that this FREE NATION (RIGHT NOW) MUST have a VOLUNTEER PROGRAM!! If I choose to volunteer, that is one thing, being forced to do so is what they do in CHINA. Of course Barack wants us to live that way. I have a suggestion for this guy, use your KIDS and leave our young ones alone. You took yours to a Hate Filled Church and we can only wonder what they learned in those Brain Washing sermons. Leave us and ours out of what ever you intend to bring to the Political process. We are Free and intend to stay that way! What has your kids learned from AYERS about bombing buildings and killing policemen? What about getting great deals on Home Properties or a free education even though you and your Wife make millions??
Lately, I have been calling and emailing our Leaders on ALL levels of Government. I am sick of pre- written responses, and being told, " I have to do what "I" think is good for the people I represent", not what you fools think is right! Here is an email I received from Senator Brown of OHIO.
Thank you for expressing your views on S.2433, the Global Poverty Act.
I am a cosponsor of S.2433, which would direct the President to implement a foreign policy strategy that promotes the achievement of the United Nations Millennium goals. These goals focus of the reducing global poverty. The Administration has agreed to pursue the United Nations Millennium goals, and I believe that we must reduce global poverty and assist developing nations in their efforts to alleviate disease and become self-sufficient. Doing so promotes global stability, which is on our nation’s long-term interest from both an economic and strategic perspective.
While you and I may disagree on this issue, I value your input and hope you will continue to share your views with me.
Thank you again for contacting me.
Sincerely,
Sherrod Brown
I did not make this article up. With what has been going on in OUR own Nation, can we afford the TRILLIONS this will cost over the next twenty to Fifty years? When was the Last Time any of you took any interest in OUR Government? Do you want a new Nation? Do you like looking around you're Yard, You're Neighborhood, State and Nation and REALLY like what is being done for WE THE PEOPLE? Lost Jobs, Lost Homes, Bridges Collapsing, Roads that ruin our cars, schools falling down with no ability to teach our Kids? Now we are asked, oops, being TOLD to "BAIL out Mega-Trillion" businesses that you and I have never gotten one thing from. The Leaders of these Billionaires Giants will be paid MILLIONS for screwing up, just like the People we elected to REPRESENT US! Did you get surveyed about this Bale Out? Did we elect the Financial guy who now gives away our LIFE SAVINGS along with our Failing SS system. Bernanke is a FOOL, unelected and Unconstitutionally installed in an Agency that is ILLEGAL to begin with. Who Voted for the Federal Reserve Board or the IRS? Now, now OUR money will go to those who acted stupidly, and we must pay the price. How much can you AFFORD? Lastly, keep voting in people like Brown, Voinovich and the rest of those who are there for themselves. Try calling a Senator of the US who is in another STATE. You will be told that he DOES NOT Represent YOU, only his Constituents. We should change the Name of the US SENATE to the MY PEOPLE ONLY SENATE !! Frankly, I HATE the UN and don't care what they want. I want our MONEY for the American People for a "CHANGE"! Hussein wants CHANGE and this is HIS BILL and HIS CHANGE for all of us!!
We, those of us in this country should be asking ourselves if the two running for our top leadership position, are the BEST America has to offer. Just recently, the Congress gave themselves a Pay Raise, for doing nothing, and having a Rating of Nine Percent. That is far less than Bush's', or for that matter, it is the LOWEST in our History. While we don't deserve or get a raise, they are doing nothing to help ease our pains at the pump, grocery store or as many say, just that the Demorats and Repugliants don't care. We pay for all of their perks! We now have a Black Candidate, and yes, if he were WHITE I would be writing this, who Hates us and America. BY us, I mean all Races, Religions and ethnic Groups. Here is some of his diatribe. I hope you understand this, I Don't.
Obama Explains His National Anthem Stance
Is this guy crazy or what!
Hot on the heels of his explanation for why he no longer wears a flag pin, presidential candidate Senator Barack Obama was forced to explain why he doesn't follow protocol when the National Anthem is played.
According to the United States Code, Title 36, Chapter 10, Sec. 171...... During rendition of the national anthem when the flag is displayed, all present except those in uniform are expected to stand at attention facing the flag with the right hand over the heart.
'As I've said about the flag pin, I don't want to be perceived as taking sides,' Obama said.
'There are a lot of people in the world to whom the
American flag is a symbol of oppression. And the anthem itself conveys a war like message. You know, with the bombs bursting in air and all. It should be swapped for something less parochial and less bellicose. I like the song 'I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing.'
If that were our anthem, then I might salute it.'
WHAAAAAAAT!!!!!!!!!! Yes, ladies and gentlemen, this could possibly be our next president. I, for one, am speechless . .
He wants to be our President, but he doesn't want to take our side? '...people in the world...symbol of oppression...?' He's not running for President of the world. He's running for President of the United States. Is he with us or against us?
I bet that while he is on his trip, he will Salute the Flags of those who are Hell Bent on our Destruction, and will Stand for their National Anthem, especially those in Muslim Nations. We cannot let this thing near our White house or anywhere near ruling ALL of America.
Pass It On Before It's too Late. Let's Teach The World About This Idiot.

I know that a lot of you think you owe a certain political party you're support and loyalty. Both are commendable. Do you owe them more than the true allegiance you owe to America? I also know that by writing this, I will get the customary- yawn, who cares, or stuff it crackhead! I am doing it anyway. I don't really care about comments from Commies or Hacks. The next article was not written by me, but was written by a true American!
TAKE A FEW MOMENTS AND READ THIS LETTER. THESE ARE STRONG, POWERFUL AND COURAGEOUS WORDS COMING FROM A RETIRED COLONEL

Your vote against an amendment to the immigration Bill 1348......to make English America's official language is astounding.

I don't much care where you come from. What your religion is. Whether you're black, white, or some other color...male or female......Democrat, Republican or Independent....... But I do care when you are a United States Senator representing Citizens of America ...and Vote against English as the official language of the United States .
Your vote reflects Betrayal.
Political Surrender. Violates Your Pledge of Allegiance. Dishonors historical principle. Rejects Patriotism. Borders on traitorous action and, in my opinion, makes you unfit to serve as a United States Senator...impeachment... Recall........Or other appropriate action is warranted or worse.
Four of you voting against English as America 's Official Language are Presidential Candidates: Senator Biden, Senator Clinton, Senator Dodd and Senator Obama.
Four Senators vying to lead America, but won't or
Don't have the courage to cast a vote in favor of "English" as America 's Official Language when 91% of American Citizens want English officially designated as our language.
This is the second time in the last several months this list of Senators have disgraced themselves as "policital Hacks"..... Unworthy as Senators and certainly unqualified to serve as President of the United States .
If America is as angry as I am, you will realize a backlash so stunning it will literally "rock you out of your panties"......... And preferably totally out of the United States Senate.
The entire immigration bill is a farce... Your action only confirms this really isn't about America .....it is about self-serving politics......despicable at best. It has been said:
"Never Argue with an Idiot....They'll drag you down to their level!"

As I get older and maybe less thrilled with the direction this Nation is headed, I learn new things constantly about politics. Maybe in the past I was not paying attention, or we just didn't have the Blogs of today. Anyway, how many of you have been wondering about the "SUPER DELEGATES" in Ohio and whether our choices even matter? This is something I found and thought someone may be interested. We have twenty Super Delegates in Ohio, with more planned for. Here are eighteen of them. Does anyone recognise any of them? What the HELL-o is Conflict of Interest?
16 of Ohio's 20 super delegates. (Click to enlarge) Top row, from left: Sen. Sherrod Brown, Avon; Gov. Ted Strickland, Columbus; Rep. Stephanie Tubbs Jones, Cleveland; Rep. Tim Ryan, Niles; Rep.

What is it that makes the United States a Great Nation? It is our Constitution and the Bill Of Rights. They are as Sacred as the Flag that all of us Salute and Defend. Why am I asking questions that all of you know? I need someone to explain how our Elected Officials, Judges, and most of the Media change what we see and hear to fit an agenda to strip us of the very Rights guaranteed by the Laws of this Nation!
I watched and read the articles about the Illegal Invaders demands in Hazelton Pennsylvania and what that town tried to do for every American in this Nation! With the help of the ACLU, La Raza and a Judge, Hazelton lost their Rights to pass a Law. The Judge ruled that a State or City could not pass any Laws concerning Immigration as they were in defiance of OUR Constitution.
Now for my question: If the State or City cannot pass Laws on Immigration, as they are against the Constitution, how can any of the Gun Laws that are passed in the States and Cities be CONSTITUTIONAL? We must demand that these Laws be REPEALED as soon as possible. Congress isr eady to take all of the GUNS away from us. Where are the Rights of the AMERICAN CITIZENS ?
