This article was written by Bill Wilson, about the 'bailout' and who really benefits from it........it's not us!!

It will likely cost every man woman and child in America over $3,000 to bail out Wall Street from its self-inflicted financial disaster. Yet certain politicians and, most certainly, a group of executives are going to continue to benefit from political contributions and salaries that would put the average American citizen on Easy Street for the rest of his life.
 
This entire financial crisis is the largest power grab and redistribution of property and wealth from hardworking Americans by the federal government in the history of the United States. And it's brought to you by a Democratic-controlled Congress implicit in the crime and a Republican Administration whose cronies will benefit from the bailout at your expense.
 
According to a well-documented story by FOX News' John Gibson, the Lehman Brothers bankruptcy can be traced back to the mortgage debacle of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Gibson says these two companies used "a huge lobbying budget and political contributions" to keep regulators from doing their job.
 
Number 2 on the list after just four years in the Senate is B. Hussein Obama, raking in over $126,000. Rival John McCain is found at No. 62, receiving a little over $21,500.
Gibson reports that Fannie and Freddie, creations of Congressional Democrats and the Clinton White House, have been places for "big Washington Democrats to go to work in the semi-private sector and pocket millions."
 
Gibson cites as examples Clinton White House Budget Director Franklin Raines, an Obama advisor, who received $50 million from Fannie Mae; and Jim Johnson, the Fannie Mae CEO who raked in millions. Johnson is also a close Obama associate who was on Obama's vice presidential search committee.
 
In May 2006, John McCain spoke in favor of a bill to tighten regulations on Fannie and Freddie. McCain quoted the Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight report that fingered Raines for "deliberately and intentionally manipulating financial reports to hit earnings targets in order to trigger bonuses for senior executives." The report said that over half of Raines' compensation was tied to the falsified earnings targets.
 
Your property and finances are soon to be controlled by the federal government. The change that Obama and his party promises appears to be found in the Marxist philosophies that have culminated in what will be the largest wealth redistribution in our nation’s history — a coup d'état that puts Democratic and Republican one-world-order bosses in control of life, liberty and property and dismantles the Constitution of the United States.
 
If you want more information, this guy has it, he keeps a close eye on DC.  www.watch.org

Its been said for a long time that 0bama was one of the top 5 to get the big money from them. The only problem now is when all the 0bama lovers see this just what kind of spin will they put on the truth to make it allright in there eyes.

To hear Obama tell it in his campaign speeches, he solved and averted a financial crisis all by himself and he did this while on the campain trail. What a liar!

He has been taking lessons from that dirtbag, Joe Biden. He is even beginning to ham it up, just like Biden!

bijou it is really unbelievable that the American citizen was left out of the bailout!

Over 700 billion and nothing for the homeowners who lost their homes or for the ones who are in foreclosure.

Most of the citizen, most of the Republican and many Democrats, aren't for this ridiculous, socialist bail out. If government would keep their controlling fingers out of private business, this wouldn't have happened to begin with.
Government can't make it better - they simply want to "do something" believing they'll keep their individual, easy money jobs.

What's next? Total takeover by government? Are we to become Venezuela? Cuba?

This is gonna hurt, but if you are going to point out Obama's association, I have to do the same for McCain. Oh, and keep in mind, McCain has been attached to these guys for DECADES longer, before Obama graduated high school.

"Senator John McCain’s campaign manager was paid more than $30,000 a month for five years as president of an advocacy group set up by the mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to defend them against stricter regulations, current and former officials say."

"Incensed by the advertisements, several current and former executives of the companies came forward to discuss the role that Rick Davis, Mr. McCain’s campaign manager and longtime adviser, played in helping Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac beat back regulatory challenges when he served as president of their advocacy group, the Homeownership Alliance, formed in the summer of 2000. Some who came forward were Democrats, but Republicans, speaking on the condition of anonymity, confirmed their descriptions."

Not all of this stuff falls into the lap of one person!! It took a long time for things to get this bad. Clinton, Bush and McCain have been around longer than Obama. They could have stopped this!!

Worse now, the group ACORN will reap a huge windfall from this bailout. They are in courts across the country for filing false voter registrations, its up to the state's to police their own voter programs but they are overwhelmed with illegal actions on the part of ACORN.

ACORN needs to be investigated by the FBI. They are about as crooked an organization as there is and they have NO business receiving taxpayer money. They register nothing by Democrats, illegals and dead people.

Bush and conservative Republicans TRIED to stop this and were voted down by the Democrats! Barney Frank, Chris Dodd need to be impeached. And you nay says should listen to what those 2 said a couple of years ago! They're on record in 2007 as saying there was "no problem" with FM/FM!

My grandparents were born in Arizona in 1888 so I feel like a native but we moved here from Nevada 11 years ago. Lived in Calif for 12 years--that was a lesson, couldn't get out of there soon enough. Love the west and the desert, or what's left of it. Did some gold prospecting, love to target shoot and my husband shoots 'cowboy action'. Conservative and like to read what others are thinking. Glad to know we aren't the only ones out there that are saddened by what's happening to our beloved America.
