This is really something indeed. Here you have people struggling to keep their home due to the subprime mess. Which in part, was caused by the same money folks who knew the risk associated with lending people with no credit or poor credit history. In order to pay back what they were loan only to have that same loan to be pay back at an higher interest rate. Can somebody tell me you sign off on this idea. What gave them the idea that this would work? GREED IS THE POWER OF ALL EVIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Maybe the 5m came from Bill Clinton dealing with Dubai. Well, before he gave up dealing with Dubai Bill was a paid agent of the crown prince of Dubai. That in addition to the roughly million dollars they gave his library, in addition to the probably $600,000 in speaking fees he got, and in addition to the scholarships for Dubai children they endowed through his library and loan to Hillary. Therefore, show your TAX RETURN.

Maggie Williams has alot of nerves to refer to people who support Obama has a cult. I would like to think that people are supporting him for the change he plans to bring for the country. Also the burden that this war has cause on families and the nation. Therefore, Hillary offers no sense of change if she has to recycle Ms Williams from the past.

Wow, Hillary complaint about Obama's words are a trip indeed. Rather than sticking with the issues that are affecting people lives. This is the best she can come up with.

This is shameful a voice for our troops. Ok then with the amount of reports comming out about the lead up and the outright lies of this war. You voted for this war without any conviction as to say no to it. I guess after this is all over we shall see you at Walter Reed Hospital every weekend.

This must be really sad to the parents,family members, and friends who have lost love ones because of lies. The news that keeps pouring out now about the lies of this war is so shameful. "No lie can live forever"

Ah, the Keating Five! Some voters are too young to remember that caper. Charles Keating, a Big Man in Phoenix, owned a savings and loan that allegedly was part of the so-called "Daisy Chain" of S&Ls of which Michael Milken of Drexel, Burnham was in the center (see "The Predator's Ball" by WSJ reporter Connie Bruck). The members of the chain would trade junk bonds back and forth with each other, marking up a gain on each transaction to make their financial statements look good. Keating went further: he had his employees sell "certificates of deposit" to the account holders of his bank, most of whom were elderly, ill, ignorant and living on pensions, wirhout disclosing that unlike federal deposits, they weren't insured...Keating also sent appraisers out into the desert to overvalue vacant land which he then obtained by writing up a phony loan, booking phantom interest income on each loan to make his books look good and fool the feds. The Federal Home Loan Bank Board (popularly known as FLUBB), was stymied in trying to enforce its powers by a bloc of 5 senators of which John McCain (and Alan Cranston of California, who, as I recall, resigned from the Senate rather than undergo an Ethics Committee investigation), were members. OK. In either the 2000 or 2004 campaign, McCain was asked about the Keating Five, and replied, "I did a dumb thing." As Howard Duff used to say at the end of the Sam Spade radio program, "Period, end of report." McCain's lack of grasp of economic facts and realities rivals even George Bush's, whose "faith based" economics has driven us into a severe and growing deficit. Disastrous as it was, Bush at least had some business experience in oil. Finally, to wrap it up, Keating got off scott free. Judge Lance Ito (remember Ito and OJ's Dream Team?) erroneously instructed the Keating criminal jury that the prosecution did not have to prove actual involvement by Keating in the fraud committed by his employees...so the court of appeals reversed. A bit of history for our time. It shall come back.
