- WASHINGTON - In July of 2004, the day after his speech at the Democratic convention catapulted him into the national spotlight, Barack Obama told a group of reporters in Boston that the United States had an "absolute obligation" to remain in Iraq long enough to make it a success.
"The failure of the Iraqi state would be a disaster," he said at a lunch sponsored by the Christian Science Monitor, according to an audiotape of the session. "It would dishonor the 900-plus men and women who have already died. . . . It would be a betrayal of the promise that we made to the Iraqi people, and it would be hugely destabilizing from a national security perspective."

- And yet your National Socialist Controlled Congress does nothing. No Inditements, No Impeachments, No Hearings, Nothing.
They have had over a year now and still nothing. Not a word. Perhaps these so called perpetrators have done nothing wrong? Perhaps this is all hype to scare up votes? As we speek the Clintonistas are going to steal the election and still not a word.

- Carlyle Capital had leveraged $670 million in equity 32 times to finance a $21.7 billion portfolio of highly rated mortgage-backed securities issued by U.S. housing agencies Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae.
The company, to establish financing for the deals, entered into repurchase agreements with banks in which it would post the mortgage securities as collateral in exchange for cash.
If the value of the security held as collateral falls, the lender has the right to ask for more collateral -- a "margin call" -- to secure the loan.
If the borrower does not meet the margin call by putting up more collateral, the lender may sell the security.
so all the banks used the inflated houseing prices to get large sums of cash, our mortages that they lied in the first place saying a home is valued at 400000 or 500000 and it was really worth 200000, then go to investers and say look we have so much equity that if they go bad we still make billions..OOPS THE VALUES HAVE COME DOWN TO WHAT THE HOMES ARE REALLY WORTH, OOPS, WHAT DO WE DO?????? LETS JUST RIGHT IT OFF...NO MATTER THE GOVERNEMNT WONT LET US GO DOWN..
GREAT JOB..CONGRESS HOW ABOUT SAVEING US AMERICANS INSTEAD OF THE ONES THAT LIED AND CHEATED US... - Reply to this comment
