  I don't think anyone is saying that the republicians are not partly guilty also....but why is Obama hiding the facts from us? He is up to his neck, indeed the mud is over his head in the sub prime mess with the banks. AND we the people of the USA are suffering for it. Obama is a cold hearted man and has no conscience. Obama is not cool, he is COLD.

  'Arrogant and unethical': Fannie Mae to pay $400 million penalty. Byline: Robert Manor May 24--Federal regulators on Tuesday described an epic culture of corruption within the former top leadership of Fannie Mae, one of the nation's largest financial institutions, as they announced that the company would pay a $400 million penalty. The Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight said an "arrogant and unethical corporate culture" led Fannie Mae's management to employ deceptive accounting to create the illusion of steady increases in profits. The company is believed to have overstated results by nearly $11 billion during the late 1990s and early part of this decade. Fannie Mae, created by the government during the 1930s, is a private, shareholder-based company that helps make mortgages available by pooling and selling them to investors. Its involvement in a corporate scandal tars a Washington, D.C.-based institution whose mandate and lineage are linked closely to the government's promotion of the American dream of homeownership....

  FBI: Child Prostitution Rings --- in the USA

  by Rabbit in

  we hear about this kind of abasement in other '3rd world' countries...where rich american (and others) can abuse foreign children on so-called 'sex vacations'.

  apparently, us 'sex tourists' don't have to go that far anymore, there are plenty of home grown victims that are our own citizens.

  i knew that this occured here -- i was just shocked at the scale.. i applaude the fbi and others in their efforts to find and save these children.. *sigh*.

  US Presidential - race of minnows in pursuit of power

  first - yes - i am in uk and have no vote and possibly no right to overly criticise.

  be that as it may i must comment that the candidates available for the us voters do not stand out as world leaders, neither are kennedys, eisenhowers, or even nixons.

  is this choice the best that the us has to offer itself ?

  I beg to differ...Sarah Palin is about the most sane candidate of the bunch.

  9 And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others: 10 Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican. 11 The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican. 12 I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess. 13 And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner. 14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.

  I always liked this scripture.

  What is the old saying? Never discuss religion with your friends? I can't remember the rest.
