Brutal
I just saw this ad on MSNBC a few minutes ago. It is absolutely brutal.
I had a feeling when I wrote my last post that this was coming. I don't know who these people are but they really hit this one out of the park.

Jason,
Does it give you any pause at all that Obama is number 2 on the payments list from the FM's, despite only being in office a short time? Does it make you wonder at all that Chris Dodd is chairman of the committee and is neck deep in relations with the people largely responsible for the economic crisis? Is there anything in that video you feel is incorrect or unfair?

What about Phil Gramm Jason? ;-)
You have to be able to give a cogent defense of your guy if you expect to win people over and repeating Phil Gramm over and over again is NOT a cogent argument.

Jason, I agree. Phil Gramm seems to have done more harm than good. He needs to go. However, does that erase the catastrophic problem that the Dems have? Haven't they been caught with their hands in the cookie jar? Obama, himself, is not being honest with the American people unless he acknowledges his role in being paid off to deny and prolong the Fannie Mae deception. No amount of blame shifting can get the Dems out of the cross-hair. They could have reformed Fannie and Freddy, but they chose to play politics and now they have made us pay for their mistake. THEY MUST EAT THE BLAME FOR THIS CRISIS!

An interesting column arguing that deregulation is not to blame.

Pointing out the errors in the ... um... logic here is like kicking a puppy. Almost too easy.
Ok, shall we? Newsweek, over a week ago:
"Unsevered Ties?
Regulatory filings indicate that McCain campaign chief Rick Davis remains an officer with his lobbying firm.
Rick Davis, John McCain's campaign manager, has remained the treasurer and a corporate director of his lobbying firm this year, despite repeated statements by campaign officials that he had ended his relationship with the firm in 2006, according to corporate records.
The McCain campaign this week criticized news stories disclosing that, since 2006, Davis's firm has been paid a $15,000-a-month consulting fee from Freddie Mac, the troubled mortgage giant recently put under federal conservatorship."
This is hypocrisy akin to some candidate for high office calling someone else "Un American" when she herself made a video welcoming and praising the work of a political party of secessionists who want nothing more than to break off from America.

Jason - while you are decrying Gramm-Leech- Bliley, you might want to check out what your guy - President Bill Clinton had to say about Phil Gramm's role in this "crisis"...
" Maria Bartiromo asked former President Bill Clinton about the now-vilified Gramm-Leach-Bliley bill, which he signed in 1999 and Clinton said, “I don’t see that signing that bill had anything to do with the current crisis. Indeed, one of the things that has helped stabilize the current situation as much as it has is the purchase of Merrill Lynch by Bank of America, which was much smoother than it would have been if I hadn’t signed that bill.”
Ooops.
