Obama v. Huckabee, Let the Race Wars Begin

Although the primaries and caucuses don't add up to a specific number of votes which define the party choice, they do give us something fun to play with at this point.

Lets assume from those outcomes so far, that the Democrats pick Obama and the Republicans pick Huckabee (not because of votes, but because his competition are basically Democrats).

Race has been an increasingly noticeable aspect of these campaigns. If these two were to become the final choices of each respective party, Imagine the smackdown we'd be setup for. On one side of the ticket, you have a black man. On the other side of the ticket, you have "the man", the white symbol of the "old boys club", the oppressor. A politician of a southern state, the states that supposedly fought the Civil War with no purpose other than keeping slavery (according to liberals).

Now we have the makings of a good old fashioned race war. You know, the kind that Farrakhan and X and Sharpton have been looking forward to since the dawn of their peoples freedom in this country. If these were the names on the ticket, and Obama were not elected, imagine how "jilted" and hard done by blacks would be. Imagine the outrage among activists. Of course the average person would probably say "i shoulda known better", but the activists would be outraged and screaming for TV time to complain about yet another injustice imparted up on their people, the victims, by a white racist machine.

If a politically unexperienced person such as Obama were to receive the nomination and subsequent presidency, imagine the turmoil that would follow. Eventualy the office of presiden would come to a stop, similar to placing a 2nd grader in junior high and forcing the rest of the class to follow his learning curve. Either way, America looses with that particular ticket.

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?
