The Browns are never going to be a great team if they can't do anything with the defence, we have a couple of good guys up front, what happened to Wimbley, I thought he was going to be a problem for the quarterbacks, Wimbley is just an average guy on the line Rogers was a good pick for our team but we are having a problem keeping these guys healthy, we lost Tucker on offence and that leaves Thomas to be double teamed. We also lost Vickers and that hurts Lewis, Vickers is a great lead blocker for Lewis, It doesn't seem like we have any good back ups

Cribbs and Winslow seem to be the biggest threat we have and for me I would still like to get rid of Winslow, and we can't forget about Heiden, he always comes through.

I see us using steptoe alot more next year and Harrison also.

Quinn played one game and he looked good, he can scramble and make guys miss him, it seems he can read the field better then Anderson, but I think Anderson would have played just as good, it wasn't the Offence or the droped passes that lost this game,  it is all on the defence, you can't let them score, and they got beat in the secondary

My time came to vote and it only took 15 min. I came home and watched the news, from what I can see the early voting helped out alot, it didn't seem to be crowded at any polling place.

It is now 3 am and I see we have a new President, I hope President Obama can stand the heat for the next 4 years, It's not going to be an easy task.

Now I call on all that stood against President Obama and stand behind him in these difficult times Americans face this is not a time to be divided, it is time to stand together as one nation and work together.

President Obama has come a long way in his life for himself and others, this is truely a day that will go down in history, and he should have our support no matter how anyone feels.

The only sad part of this election was OHIO Issue 6 not passing, how can people vote against more jobs in Ohio, Do people not understand that it would have created 5000 plus jobs here, MUCH NEEDED JOBS, I will never understand what some people think..

CONGRATULATIONS PRESIDENT OBAMA.

How long will Americans put up with the I didn't knows????

How many times will Obama be able to lie or maybe they arn't lies maybe the problem is the drug use back in college, now we have his aunt in this country and he says he didn't know she was here. His aunt made illegal  donations to him over the years, how many other illegal donations has he received.

It could be possible he didn't know she was here illegal, It's also possible that he didn't know Rev. Wright is a racist, it's also possible he doesn't have ties to Ayers and all his terrorist buddies.

But is it that he didn't know or is it that the drugs he has done in his past damaged his brain it could also be early signs of Alzimeirs.

I can't be sure what it is but surely there is a pattern here with all these lies or forgotten memories, I know there is a get out of jail free card, but I didn't see a get out of a lie free card anywere or does it fall under the race card.

His followers show the same signs and symptoms, they are either stuck on stupid or they have smoked themselves retarded, I'm not sure which one it is but it seems like a crowd of zombies

Tuesday, October 21, 2008 Is Obama Going To Hawaii to Protect His Birth Certificate?

Depending on who you ask Senator Barack Obama is going to Hawaii to visit his ailing grandma or to work the Hawaiian courts to prevent the release of his birth certificate. Purveyors of the second theory point to the fact that when Obama was in Hawaii two months ago he spent so little time with the woman he threw under the bus during his race speech. They also mention that granny just isn't that sick.

Andy Martin recently filed suit in Hawaii demanding that the State turn over Obama's Birth Certificate, His claim is that Obama is really in Hawaii to fight the suit. More Below

Source Israel Insider"Barack H. Obama II has suspended his involvement in his campaign for at least two days to go to Hawaii, purportedly to visit his ailing grandmother.

But the sudden trip to the 50th state coincides with an aggressive campaign by Obama nemesis Andy Martin to legally compel Hawaiian authorities to release birth records that Obama has refused to make public.

And, in a separate Federal Circuit Court case filed by Philip Berg in Pennsylvania to force Obama and the Democratic National Committee to prove that the candidate is in fact a "natural born citizen," Obama and the DNC have failed to respond within a federally-mandated 30 day period, opening the door to a procedural argument that failure to respond represents an admission of the plaintiff's claims that the Democratic nominee is a Kenyan and/or Indonesian citizen, but not a "natural born" citizen of the United States.

The sudden Obama decision to visit Hawaii has triggered broad skepticism, coming as it does in the critical last two week of the close election campaign. Obama's 85-year-old maternal grandmother, Madelyn Dunham, was first brought into the campaign when he sought to show that she, as a "typical white woman", held what the candidate claimed were racist fears of aggressive black men. He brought her up in the context of saying that he could not disown her -- despite her alleged racism -- any more than he could disown his pastor of twenty years, Jeremiah Wright. Obama visited her only very briefly during his summer vacation in Hawaii, and he didn't visit her when she was in a Honolulu hospital last week. There is no indication that her condition is life-threatening.

But Andy Martin, an anti-Obama columnist, says the real reason for Obama's emergency trip is to stop his own pursuit of birth records, including an emergency writ to the Hawaii Supreme Court to request expedited handling after a previous filing to demand that the State's Department of Health release the records. "Obama did not pay any attention to his grandmother until I showed up in Honolulu," he wrote in an email. "Suddenly she is the center of his attention. She is so central to his campaign that he has suspended it! But when Obama was here last summer he only visited his grandmother for an hour. One hour! Now he suspends his campaign for her?"

The Berg-initiated legal action is also pressing the Obama campaign. On September 15, as part of his federal lawsuit contending that the Illinois senator is ineligible, pursuant to the U.S. Constitution, to serve as president of the United States, Philadelphia attorney Philip Berg served Barack Obama and the Democratic National Committee with a request for admission, which, on October 6, Barack Obama and the DNC acknowledged getting but then attempted to persuade the court to stay discovery and to dismiss the suit. However, Federal Rules require that a response to a request for admissions be served within the 30-day time limit, and Barack Obama and the DNC have not done so.

No person would be allowed to accumulate a personal net worth of more than 100 to 300 times the average family fortune, which would limit personal assets to between $1.5 million and $5 million. Income taxes would be levied to ensure this. Annual capital levy taxes would be assessed on all persons with a net worth exceeding $1 million.
Every family was to be furnished with a homestead allowance of not less than one-third the average family wealth of the country. Every family was to be guaranteed an annual family income of at least $2,000 to $2,500, or not less than one-third of the average annual family income in the United States. Yearly income, however, cannot exceed more than 100 to 300 times the size of the average family income.
An old-age pension would be made available for all persons over 60.
To balance agricultural production, the government will preserve/store surplus. This is made so no food is wasted.
Veterans are paid what they are owed
Education and training for all children to be equal in opportunity in all schools, colleges, universities, and other institutions for training in the professions and vocations of life.
The raising of revenue and taxes for the support of this program was to come from the reduction of swollen fortunes from the top, as well as for the support of public works to give employment whenever there may be any slackening necessary in private enterprise.

WOW!!!! I was LMAO when McCain slipped and called Obama Senator Government or maybe it wasn't a slip maybe McCain was right on with that slip.

The first question asked of Obama was never answered, as always he dodged it just like he dodged being buddies with Ayers and in bed with ACORN not to mention Rev. Right.

Now Obama has to explain how this spread the wealth will work, I would like to know how it works!!! does he Tax the rich and give to the poor, does the middleclass get any and if so when can I expect to get my share, or do I have to be on welfare.

I was wondering if I can avoid the Government on this spread the wealth thing, I'm going to ask my boss if he can spread some of his wealth with me this way we both can avoid the government, I really like the system we have at work, It's kinda like the pay as you go method, I go to work and they pay me, and the spread the wealth works for us also, I get a raise every year and every Christmas I get a huge bonus, I consider that spreading the wealth, people that believe in this spread the wealth have smoked themself stupid, how many more Companies have to leave the USA to understand raising taxes is not the answer.

In June 2008 Conde Nast Portfolio reported that numerous Washington, DC politicians over recent years had received mortgage financing at noncompetitive rates because the corporation considered the officeholders "FOA's"--"Friends of Angelo". The politicians extended such favorable financing included the chairman of the Senate Banking Committee, Democrat Christopher Dodd, and the chairman of the Senate Budget Committee, Democrat Kent Conrad. The article also noted Countrywide's political action committee had made large donations to Dodd's campaign. Democrat Senator Dodd proposed that the federal government buy up to $400 Billion in defaulted mortgages. Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) has called for House and Senate to investigate Senators Conrad and Dodd. It was reported that James Johnson, former CEO of Fannie Mae and an adviser to Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama, had received loans under the "Friends of Angelo".  Johnson announced he would step down from the vice-presidential vetting position on June 11, 2008 in order to avoid being a distraction to Obama's campaign.

In June 2008 The Wall Street Journal reported that Franklin Raines, a former CEO of Fannie Mae, received below market rates loans at Countrywide Financial because the corporation considered the officeholders "FOA's"--"Friends of Angelo" (Countrywide Chief Executive Angelo Mozilo). He received loans for over $3 million while CEO of Fannie Mae.  On July 16, 2008, The Washington Post reported that Franklin Raines had "taken calls from Barack Obama's presidential campaign seeking his advice on mortgage and housing policy matters."Subsequent attempts to connect Obama's campaign with Franklin Raines were characterized by The Washington Post as "a stretch".

How much money will it cost the democratic party to register voters and have them vote on the same day, I find this strange!!! when I registered they told me I had to wait to vote now you can vote the same day.

I can see this happening all over Ohio, the Obama supporters telling the homeless I'll give you 20 dollars if you vote for Obama and that person says who's Obama??/? and they reply back that he will be the President that put money in your pocket.

If you are homeless how would you argue that, you already recieved 20 dollars so you could say Obama put money in their pocket.

After the election these people will be foregotten and it won't bother them because they will still be dumpster diving looking for food, trying to find a warm place to stay.

These are not informed people they are bought people how many of these truely know who is running for President, how many of these people watch the debates, how many are drunk or druged up and have no clue what they are doing.

I hope the people that are doing this are willing to give these people a place to stay and a hot meal for life because this is what you promessed them...

Why I believe McCain should be the next President:

It is clear to me that we need a strong leader in office, one that is clear in what he stands for whether it be on abortion, education, or the economy , If you want any of your policies to pass you must get the Government to agree with you, I have noticed that McCain has the respect of most if not all of the Senators even Biden and Obama agree on alot of Issues he stands for.

Mommiegrandma is a strong supporter of Obama and she makes good points for him and she is strong in her beliefs and believes Obama is the right choice, he may be the right choice for her and the people that believe in him.

dprin believes McCain is the right choice and she is very strong in her beliefs and believes McCain can make the changes he speaks of.

These are two good people I speak of and  I have alot of respect for and believe they are both honest people, but we shouldn't make no mistakes on the next President I think both Obama and McCain are on the same page they just think we should get to the end in different ways, one way is more Government control and the other is less government control, I feel we need a little of both, Oversight from the Government is key to keeping the people honest, I think both should work together for the American people I think both policies will be good for our nation.

On the other hand we have to think about foreign policies and who we think would be a stronger President, a stronger leader on the war on terror, we can't have someone that thinks that talking to our enemy is the right way to go. I'm not saying we should go to war or we shouldn't talk. Terrorist supporters should know where we stand and know we will not tolerate what they want to do.

I watched Obessions and these extremist want to kill Americans, Russians, british, and anyone that don't believe in islam, they talk about overthrowing governments and killing anyone who doesn't believe, there are about 100 milliom Muslims in the world and they say that 10% are extremist some call this a small handful I call it a huge amout of people just look around the world and see what damage they have caused they kill innocent people not military people they kill anyone, they don't even check to make sure they don't believe in their  ways they just kill anyone.

they have waged war on us and some think we should just leave them alone.

In my opinion McCain would be the strongest leader because he wouldn't give in and he proved himself being a POW he stood his ground he could have left but chose to stay, he knew if he left it would make it worse on the other POW's

TransCanada Gets Alaska Governor Palin's Approval for Pipeline

By Eduard Gismatullin

Aug. 29 (Bloomberg) -- TransCanada Corp., the nation's largest pipeline company, won approval from Alaska Governor Sarah Palin to build a $27 billion pipeline to carry natural gas from the Arctic to U.S. markets.

Palin on Aug. 27 signed a bill authorizing the state to award Calgary-based TransCanada a license to build the 1,715- mile (2,744-kilometer) link from Prudhoe Bay to the Alberta Hub in Canada, according to a statement. The license will be granted in 90 days.

``Our company has started field work on the project in order to meet our target date for completing the initial open season within two years,'' TransCanada Vice President Tony Palmer said in the statement.

Alaskan authorities plan to develop gas deposits on Alaska's North Slope that were discovered decades ago and left untouched by the inability to get the fuel to users. Palin solicited pipeline proposals last year and chose TransCanada's proposal after rival plans by BP Plc and ConocoPhillips didn't meet the state's requirements.

Tapping the North Slope fields, which Alaska estimates to hold 35 trillion cubic feet of gas, would help make up for lower state revenue arising from declining oil production. Alaskan crude output has dropped by more than half since 1998.

Alaska owns the gas; BP, ConocoPhillips and Exxon Mobil Corp. hold most of the leases to develop it. The two partners have invited Exxon to join their pipeline venture known as Denali to compete with TransCanada.

State Subsidy

Under its license agreement with the state, TransCanada will get a $500 million subsidy in return for seeking federal regulatory approval for the project and finding customers for the pipeline. The license doesn't guarantee construction of the project.

The link will ship 4.5 billion cubic feet of gas a day through Canada to U.S. markets. TransCanada expects to hold an auction for capacity to help determine the size of the line in July 2010, the company said Aug. 1. The project could be operating by September 2018.

London-based BP is Europe's second-largest oil company behind Royal Dutch Shell Plc. ConocoPhillips, based in Houston, is the third-largest U.S. oil company, ranking behind Exxon and Chevron Corp.

Interesting!!!!! 

I saw some agreements on both sides however Obama won on the economy and McCain won on foreign affairs and the fight on terror, it went just as I suspected it .

I don't think either one stood out but Obama did start losing poise at the end calling McCain Tom once and then Jim.  I think McCain was a bit stronger but again he should  be, he does have more experience.

Both had to be pushed into debating neither one wanted to start it off, I got a laugh out of it, when they did start Jim couldn't shut either one up.

I'm sure I will hear Obama won and I will hear McCain won but in my opinion neither one was a winner because neither one  really answered the Questions asked, they both did ring around the question.

I do think Obama got the tax break wrong, I have paid less in taxes with Republicans in office I have made more on my 401 k, when my company gets tax breaks I get more raises and bigger bonuses, If Obama is elected we will all lose, companies need tax breaks to compete in a world market if they lose the tax breaks we will lose the compaines.

In 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 stock holders to maintain its phenomenal growth in profits.

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.

''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 18 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 tentatively, 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 savings 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 Peter Wallison 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, consumers who qualify can secure a mortgage with an interest rate one percentage point 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 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 87.2 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 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 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.

Do you think McCain and Obama should suspend the race and go back to the senate to hammer the problem????

I read that some may think Obama would look like a follower "I wouldn't " This would prove to me that he would be willing to work with both sides, I feel the debate could wait a week, put differeances aside and come together.

But I don't think Obama will do this because as I said before he is self centered.

I went to the store the other day and I overheard a young lady speaking about Obama's choice for V P she was saying how he was a great choice because of his policies, she said he was great on foreign affairs and could help out our economy, she went on and on how he would be good for us.

she also said something about McCain that there is some old guy that is 75 and a P O W .

I didn't have a chance to correct her on his age or that he isn't a P O W anymore.

But what really got my attention is the comment she made about Obama " He has the face to lead this country" and that was all she said about him except that if we didn't vote for him it was because we were racist, why is it that the only reason they say we won't vote for him has to do with  race.

I'm sure there are some that are like that still, I also believe it is a two way street, there are some that will vote for Obama just because he looks black I'm submitting a new line on the list for what are you "Blacasian" he is neither Black or White and I have my own reasons why I will not vote for Obama and they have nothing to do with race and all of you already know what that is.

Maybe I'm  out of touch with the youth of today but what does that mean "he has the face to lead this Country", it does take more than just a face you have to know what you are doing, it sounds to me she has more faith in the VP then the President, does she get the role of the VP.

I'm not sure how Obama/Biden or McCain/Palin are going to be but one thing is certain The next President will be McCain or Obama, and Biden or Palin will be riding shot gun.

Now for one more issue I feel if both Obama and McCain are running and both are saying they are going to CHANGE Washington then they should start by offering a Cabnet position to each other. just my opinion.
