Night and Day, “Obama’s commissions” edition

The One in April:

Among the presidential campaigners, Sen. Barack Obama, speaking at New York’s Cooper Union late last month, blamed corporate lobbyists for carrying deregulation too far and he pledged regulatory reform, but nothing more specific than the creation of a financial oversight commission.

The One yesterday:

Today, Senator Obama said: “Senator McCain offered up the oldest Washington stunt in the book: you pass the buck to a commission to study the problem. But here’s the thing: this isn’t 9-11. We know how we got into this mess. What we need now is leadership that gets us out.” 

That Wall Street Commission was such a good idea that even John McCain decided to embrace the idea…at which point, the idea stopped being a good one.  But hey, this Obama guy is gonna be the “uniter” and “reach across the aisle” for “bipartisan” efforts to find real solutions, right?

As Beckwith notes:

Perhaps the person who ghost writes his teleprompter can first do a Google search on the senator’s behalf to see whether he had opined on prior occasions on the matter of commissions. It took me about 40 minutes to track all these down.

For a campaign that seems to get awfully giddy at McCain’s lack of Internet experience, they sure do have a way of getting their tails kicked by Google searches, huh?

More on Obama’s Fannie Mae corruption

Story and video clip at Gateway Pundit:

In 2005– Senator John McCain partnered with three other Senate Republicans to reform the government’s involvement in lending, after an attempt by the Bush administration died in Congress two years earlier.
Democrats blocked the reform.

In 2005– Barack Obama and the Congressional Black Caucus met with Fannie Mae for a “family” event. In 2005 Democrats also blocked reform of Fannie Mae:

[video clip here]

This was before Fannie Mae started filling the pockets of Barack Obama with political donations.
The junior Illinois senator collected more money from Fannie Mae than any other Washington politician except Senator Dodd in the last decade.
Obama was able to accomplish this feat in just 3 years.

This video shows Fannie Mae CEO talking to members of the Congressional Black Caucus:

The Democrats have been taking PAYOFFS from Fannie and Freddie and have looked the other way FOR DECADES!
They’ve blocked reform.

Now there’s NEW VIDEO of the CEO of Fannie Mae in 2005 explaining the “FAMILY” connection with Democrats and specifically Barack Obama and the Congressional Black Caucus. It looks like Michelle Obama was at the event, too.

This was before Barack Obama started collecting tens of thousands from the failed lender.

Team Mac needs to run with this full speed and pronto!

AP: Palin’s hacked e-mail accounts raise questions…about Palin?

Oh. My. (insert politically correct deity here).  I may have just seen the epitome of Obamania in the MSM!  From Robert S. McCain (no relation):

How much farther into the tank for Obama can the Associated Press possibly get?

The disclosure Wednesday raises new questions about the propriety of the Palin administration’s use of nongovernment e-mail accounts . . .

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot? These hackers commit a federal felony and the AP says it “raises questions” about Palin?

Nope…no liberal media bias!

By the way, notice how the left gets madder than Barney Frank at a Walgreens store that ran out of KY jelly when they think Bu$hitler McRummyburton may be eavesdropping on Al Qaeda’s phone calls…but this stunt doesn’t bother them in the slightest bit?

Reid admits the obvious: I’m an economic illiterate

When Harry Reid isn’t suffering from fits of hypochondria about coal and oil “making us sick”, he spends his time screwing up the U.S. Senate and admitting his economic illiteracy to the world.  From ABC News blog:

ABC News’ Z. Byron Wolf reports from Capitol Hill: Don’t look for any legislation in the near future to address the financial crisis.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, asked today what new regulatory actions Congress can take, said, bluntly, “No one knows what to do. We are in new territory here. This is a different game. We’re not here playing soccer, basketball or football, this is a new game and we’re going to have to figure out how to do it.”

…

And he seemed to forget how he voted on a now-controversial bill that largely de-regulated the financial services industry in 1999. It was written by Sen. Phil Gramm of Texas, who has since retired and is a McCain economic adviser. And Democrats, including Reid, opposed the bill when it first passed the Senate with 54 votes.

But they voted for an updated version of the bill in December of 1999 and President Clinton signed it. Reid and all but 7 Democrats in office at the time voted for the version of the bill that ultimately became law even though he said he opposed the bill when he spoke on the Senate floor today.  Regardless, Reid said the de-regulation is less important than the current administration not enforcing remaining law.

He opposed the bill that, um, he voted for?  Man, that’s a neat trick!

Reid says “no one knows what to do”, yet McCain is the economic ignoramus?

Shameless Franken attack ad totally whiffs

A swing…and a miss.  Allah has the details and the video clips, but in a nutshell, this new attack ad in MN has a couple who lost their son in Iraq wanting to know why Norm Coleman sent their son off to die?

Does it even matter to these sickos (who, by the way, supposedly don’t like to use the dead as political props) that the authorization for war in Iraq was passed in 2002…before Norm Coleman entered the friggin’ Senate?  Does it even matter to these shameless liberals that Chuck the Schmuck Schumer, who helped fund and assemble this ad, did vote for the authorization for war?

Coleman has quite the retort himself, though.  Keep up the pressure, Norm.

“Objectivist” moonbat: Trig Palin should have been aborted

Notice how so-called “pro-choicers” claim to be for a woman’s right to choose whether or not she has an abortion, yet when the woman chooses not to abort, she gets criticized by these sick freaks?  Add this schmuck to the mix (from Newsbusters):

In stunningly self-centered, cruel fashion, Nicholas Provenzo, writer for the Center for the Advancement of Capitalism suggests that Sarah Palin’s decision to give birth to a child with Down Syndrome, is a financial burden that others are forced to suffer with.

…

The full first paragraph of the piece which is circulating amidst the blogosphere reads (emphasis mine):

Like many, I am troubled by the implications of Alaska governor and Republican Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin’s decision to knowingly give birth to a child disabled with Down syndrome. Given that Palin’s decision is being celebrated in some quarters, it is crucial to reaffirm the morality of aborting a fetus diagnosed with Down syndrome (or by extension, any unborn fetus)—a freedom that anti-abortion advocates seek to deny.

I’ll wait for you to pick your jaw up off the floor.

Aborting a child with a disability is not only, according to Dr. Mengele here, a “moral” choice, but a “moral” imperative!  For you parents out there with special needs kids, you apparently missed the boat on this one.  As Rusty Weiss puts it:

Morally justifiable reasons for killing a baby?  There is no justifiable reason for taking any child’s life, and to call it a moral obligation to society is undeniably one of the more disgusting things to be written by a human being, about another human being.

In fact, advocating the abortion of a child based on the potential of that child having a disease or imperfection of some kind raises echoes of Nazi Germany’s quest for an Aryan race.

Wow.  The existence of such a despicable, vile cretin makes me question my opposition to abortion in at least one case!

Google backtracks on anti-abortion ads

Want to have scrape out that parasite in your womb known in some crazy circles as a “child”?  Want to advertise a service to that end?  We here at Google are more than happy to accommodate you!

Want to rebut the abortion lobby?  Drop dead…no pun intended.

That’s been the attitude by the “do no evil” company…until yesterday.  From the Times Online:

Christian and other religious groups opposed to abortion were allowed to advertise on Google for the first time from today, after the search engine capitulated in the face of a legal challenge.

Google had banned pro-life religious groups from buying adverts against search terms such as “abortion” and “abortion help” but was forced to abandon its policy after it was accused of breaching equalities legislation.

The challenge was brought by the Christian Institute, a cross-denominational pressure group, who said that Google’s change of heart was an acknowledgement of the rights of everybody to hold an opinion on the subject.

Mike Judge from the Christian Institute said: “Google were taking adverts from pro-abortion groups, and our view is that was a free speech issue. What we want to do is set out the acts in a pretty factual and pretty sensible way”.

Google had been taken to court by the Christian Institute earlier in the year, arguing that its policy was in breach of the Equalities Act of 2006. Initially, Google said it would fight in the courts, but changed its mind over the summer. Its new policy applies globally. …

We’ll see just how serious Google is about this.  Until then, feel free to use Goodsearch, where every time you search for something, your selected charity gets money.
