obama's "Bitter Half"

She seems to be setting a new precedent in how a candidate's wife wrangles with the media. Of course, if she's catering to the disenfranchised, she may very well be on to something.

Traditionally, the candidates don't spend much time whining. However, this seems to be the big thing she has to offer. Does she envision singing a verse of America the Bitterful the next time she has a camera in her face?

The interesting thing to me is how many people surrounding obama are capitalizing on the negatives. Historically, a campaign defined consisting of "our country sucks" would not get a lot of momentum. However, for some reason, directly reaching the disenfranchised is working well for votes.

Unfortunately, obama is a politician. As such, he knows that he will never have the power to achieve any of the change he promises. At the same time, he is smart enough to know that he can use the lies to get votes. Of course, he would also be able to blame the lack of change on somebody else when it didn't work out.
In the end, the disenfranchised say disenfranchised. If they buy into the hype before and after, then they become indignantly disenfranchised to a level that matches that of Rev Wright and obamas bitter half

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?
