Pro-Bama?

Why is the media so quick to publish personal attacks on Sarah Palin & allow the democrats to blame the current financial crisis squarely on the republicans when they have been in control of the congress for the last two years?
The only explanation is media bias.

Here is 10 underexploited scandals regarding Obama, that rarely get mainstream press:

1. Obama-Rezko
2. Obama's Red Mentor
3. Obama-Fannie Mae Money
4. Fannie Mae Thanks Obama
5. Obama-Fannie Mae Executives
6. Obama ACORN Connection
7. Obama's Pastor
8. Obama on Redistricting
9. Obama Farrakhan Connection
10. Obama's Buddy Ayres

Obama should just suspend his campaign and let the media take over. John McCain should also grow a pair and start hitting harder. His handlers are playing hopscotch while Obama is playing hardball.

The WAMU is Consumed...Whoo Hoo?

Yes, I am a Washington Mutual customer, have been for years. I used to think it was the best bank, they had a small office blocks from my office, they had ATM's and bank branches everywhere I traveled. They had a great checking plan with free money orders, and at the time, one of the best online banking sites. All was good. Then things just slid sideways, no real improvements, no real incentives to stay. I started direct deposit, so I never needed the branch. I rarely used an ATM, if I needed cash I just took cash back at the store with my debit card. The online account was good when it came out, but more often it was problematic, and slow. While other banks were offering special savings programs that tied to your checking or overdraft protection tied to savings, WAMU stayed behind. The blame will be on the mortgage securites crisis, but I think it is more than that.

If you too are a WAMU customer, the Consumerist posts an interesting account of what to expect now that CHASE has CAUGHT them.

Watch Obama Spin

Unfortunately, the Republican party does a poor job of communicating their messages, and an even worse job of balancing the platform of smaller government while not looking like it is in favor of an unregulated and out of control wall street.



On the other side, Obama is going to have to continue to spin into dizzy circles to avoid the facts that surround the current securities debacle that is stemming from the failure of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Now he is really going to have to raise our taxes to pay for that mess!

The Bloomberg.com news site has published a direct connection with the current crisis and the Democratic block on congressional reforms. As if the fact that his campaign contacted Franklin Raines seeking housing and economic advise for his campaign wasn't telling enough, it is now shown that Obama is in the top 3 recipients of campaign money from the mortgage companies.

Lies and the Lying Liars

A book by the same title of this post makes an attempt to debunk the growing feeling of an existing left leaning media bias. Unfortunately, current trends are pointing those fingers right back at the author.

I was eating lunch and grabbed the local paper, that I rarely read because of a cover story regarding Gov. Sarah Palin's speech to the troops leaving for duty (including her son) What was surprising was the tone of the write up, and the claim she was connecting 9/11 to Iraq. She clearly was speaking of Al-Qaeda. It is popular knowlege that Al-Qaeda has flooded to Iraq to engage us, and thankfully so. As was your mission to engage the enemy abroad and prevent attacks on our soil.

Several examples of media spin have recently escalated and in the blogosphere, several outright lies have been propagated. To my amazement the liberals are going from fantasy to complete fiction!

ABC Blows it!

Blogs Accuse Track Palin as a vandal!

Washington Post Blows it!

Thanks to Michelle Malkin for digging for the truth.

Never Forget

Some will be critical of the imagery of September 11th, some will say it is being put in the public eye to instill fear, and for political purpose. I say good, because on September 12th 2001, I was both afraid, and empowered. Empowered to become patriotic again, inspired to protect my country, and my freedom, from those who would see us wiped from the earth in honer of there religion, ours be damned.

Never forget, they have been fighting a Jihad with us for years, yet only on September 11th did they inflict a blow heavy enough to wake the sleeping giant. Fortunately this giant stands for freedom and liberty, and she will live in isolation no longer.

Never forget, for when we do, the virus of liberalism and pacifism can take hold. With the false hope of understanding and diplomacy, they will take with them bargaining chips in a delegation to those who's beliefs will drag us along to the grave. For our enemy glory is found through martyrdom, not peace.

Thousands of lives were lost, buildings destroyed, and our world changed forever.

Never Forget.

Remember

Sacrifice

Sacrifice is something I understand yet I cannot compare to the level of sacrifice that our proud men and women who serve our nation in her defense give each day. Please support John McCain for president, the majority of those who protect your freedom do, don't let them down. This is my viewpoint, feel free to comment.



This video was introduced to me by Meghan McCain's McCainBlogette, I recommend it for a great insight to life on the campaign trail with a real American hero.

Government Transparency In Action!

The following expert from BetaNews again reinforces the position that the McCain-Palin ticket is ready to lead.

"Sen. Barack Obama has made government transparency part of his platform. Gov. Palin has indeed taken that a step further by actually taking action in Alaska government. Currently, any check written by the state government over $1,000 is posted to the Division of Finance Web site."

With the national debt at record highs, and the democratically controlled congressional approval at all time lows, the smart choice is in an administration that will control spending while protecting our nation. While Obama plans to cut spending on our national security, McCain & Palin have actual experience in confronting government waste and earmark pet projects, something Obama has no defense.
