The Obama Advantage (as posted on DailyKos)

The elections are always directed behind the scenes. The largest proof of that in recent years would be the 2000 and 2004 Presidential Elections. That being said there is an advantage to Obama being in the race even though he will not win the Democratic nomination or the subsequent presidency.

Money. The amount of money spent during his campaign will help the various regional economies it touches. That is never bad for a city.

Marketing. The Democrats are currently highlighting TWO minority candidates, both from demographics we've all been taught have never and will never "on our lifetimes" become president of the United States. This gives the whole party a great marketing opportunity and gets people talking about more than the issues which have plagued an will continue to plague the party.

It's always better to keep people from being focused on things like rampant illegal immigration, government programs that help everybody but the citizens, and random social policies which are designed to weaken any sort of national pride that was groomed back in "old days".

Instead, we're looking at a "bright future" and "change" w/o any substantive basis.

The fun part, is that we've known Hillary was going to get the Presidency since 2000, so this particular "show" is just great entertainment. My only question is if Obama knows this, and is just playing along. If so, it's easy not to feel bad for him knowing he's not going to be the next President. If he's not aware of the decisions of te Power Brokers, then you do have to feel kinda bad cause that means he's actualy trying to win a losing race.

The Mortgage Crisis

The mortgage crisis could not have been an accident. The people that "approved" the mortgages KNEW that:

  1. Were going to have prohibitive payments in 12 to 24 months
  2. Were going to be on property worth far less than what they sold for within 12 to 24 months
  3. Would be forclosed on because they couldn't sell for the amount of the mortgage

Bankers blame it on homeowners making bad decisions or not having foresight. However, those bankers get very uncomfortable when you point out that these mortgage were all approved by bankers that get PAID to know the market and it's trends.

When you point out that regular people like you and I saw this coming back in 2004/2005, they start to tap their fingers and look around nervously.

The short answer is that they set us up and we don't know "why".

Mortgages traditionally require people prove they can make the payments even when the market is not headed down. The banks knew exactly what they were doing...

The Media On It's Knees

Why is it that the mainstream media is clamoring on their knees in front of Obama as if their unwarranted affection will somehow lower his zipper and give them what they so desperately seem to want?
