Obama vs McCain, “The Blame Wars” Our Economy!

The Newspapers and the Rags pick sides with no evidence.

After reading several prominent national newspapers I am shocked at the level of partisanship, not that it is there, but at the incessant lobbying by these venerable literary giants.

While I am not so naïve to believe that each newspaper will remain completely unbiased, I thought they would at least check the facts before writing or printing their opinions as truth.

I am of course talking about the recent attack on McCain’s Campaign Manager Rick Davis. The International Tribune (the global edition of the New York Times) accused Rick Davis of continuing to receive payments of $15,000 per month indirectly from Freddie Mac (The Times Article) They further go on to suggest that McCain knew full well of this and that he benefited from such under-the-table-dealings. This claim is woefully unsupported by any empirical evidence, and amounts to a statement of fiction and opinion, not fact.

These Global Literary Tycoons view the American Public as chumps, chimps, and sheep! They do not believe we are capable of independent thought, they assume we will believe anything that is written in such a venerable Rag. Well we are not!

If anyone chose to access the Congressional Library, or many other places that it is posted the person would have access to historical evidence to the contrary. In a statement of fact given from the McCain Camp (McCain Rebuttal Article) they clearly show that Rick Davis has not been associated with his former consulting firm since 2006. The McCain Camp went on to site his stance against Freddie Mac, and Fannie Mae on May 25th or 2006.

These are FACTS people, they can be independently researched and verified, any argument to the contrary is pure laziness.

A fact that can also be independently verified is the campaign contributions to Senator Obama, during his time as a Senator, and his rise to the Senate.

The top recipients of Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac campaign contributions between 1989-2008 include Senator Obama as # 3 receiving $105,849. Right below Senator Obama is Senator Hillary Clinton #4 receiving $75,550. (Top Twenty List of Recipeints)

Now receiving campaign contributions is not a guilty verdict, but that coupled with the lack of action to enforce more strict laws and rules on Freddie Mac, and Fannie Mae do suggest an ulterior motive, a motive that does not bode well for the American Public, The Tax Payer, or our Economy.

Just because they are a Democrat does not mean they can fix the economy! Find someone who can!

Also remember who one of Obama's chief economic advisors is, Howard Raines. Google that name and see what comes up.

I googled that

Howard Raines is considered to be a "neo-con" (neo-conservative). He is an editor for the New York Times.

Interesting, so The New York Times is just another Commie Pinko Rag.

Elect Obama and it's four years of Socialist Agenda.
