Rodger, The American Spectator nails the Freddie and Fannie problem:
"You look at Obama's economic advisers, the guys he has counted on from day one and who have raised him a ton -- and I mean a ton -- of money: Franklin Raines and Jim Johnson, both of them are waist to neck deep in the mortgage debacle."
Both Raines and Johnson have served as CEO of Fannie Mae, with Raines taking over from Johnson. Both are key political and economic advisers to Obama.
"How can Obama go out with a straight face and saw it was Republicans who made this mess, when it is his key advisers who ran the agencies that made the big mess what it is?" says a Democrat House member who supported Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton. "It's his people who are responsible for what may well be the single largest government bailout in history. And every single one of them made millions off the collapse that are lining Obama's campaign coffers."
But wait! There's more:
Another close political adviser, in fact the one man responsible for rallying support for Obama early on among Congressional Democrats, is Rep. Rahm Emanuel, who served on the Board of Directors for Freddie Mac after leaving the Clinton White House. According to Freddie Mac insiders, Emanuel during his time on the board opposed every reform proposed by the Bush Administration that would have impacted Freddie and Fannie Mae.

There ya have it Rodger... the collapse of Fannie and Freddie illustrates the point that the democrats are just not good for America. But even more so, it brings into question the ability of Barack Obama to produce any economic gains in this country, after all, it is Obama's economic advisors who are directly responsible for the collapse of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
So. Now the question is, do you think McCain is smart enough to play this up?
No. I'm hoping Sarah is.
Hey now, we may have misunderestimated this McCain fellow. He has been making all the right moves for the past three months. A certain amount of obfuscation before then would just be good tactics. My guess is that these are knockout blows he's saving for the debates when the subject is sure to come up, followed up by a nice media package.

The real issue here is government, whether it's called regulation or whatever. If we do not get a handle on spending and "entitlements," this country goes broke in less than 20 years. To me that's a national security issue big time.
