Hillary's Day of Hope

Today is the day that Hillary hopes to defeat Obama. This is her day of "yes we can". Last night she was on letterman and watching her was like watching the lady that already knew she was going to win. Of course, watching Tom Brady before the superbowl left you with a similar feeling.

We saw how the Giants literally smashed his hopes into the field during that game. Today, we watch and see if that happens to Hillary. Considering that the Republicans don't really have a candidate in the ring that can beat Hillary or Obama with any certainty, this is probably going to be the most "interesting" political race of the season.

Yes, i still think that the elections are handled behind the scenes. Yes, i still think that Hillary has already been promised the 2008 Presidential Election. Yes, i've been wrong before. I'm not a ranking member of some secret society and I don't make those decisions. However, it looks pretty likely that Hillary is going to take this Nomination and then it's subsequent election.

I would much rather be wrong about that as i'm not a Clinton supporter nor have I ever been one. So don't start thinking that this is a post of celebration. Welcome to Super Tuesday everyone.

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?
