According to Those Who Know Better (like CNN’s Jack Cafferty) the closeness of the race means that race is the biggest issue in the election: Race is arguably the biggest issue in this election, and it’s one that nobody’s talking about. The differences between Barack Obama and John McCain couldn’t be more well-defined. Obama wants…

I guess we can tell who some of the crooks are. Obama gets a prominent mention. Also see Cash Cows and Pigs for links explaining in some detail the mortgage meltdown.

And just in case you can’t figure out who the party of the elite is, have a look at ∅bama Gets Up Close And Personal With Regular Folks. H/T Gateway Pundit

Isn’t that a wonderful shot at the beginning of ∅bama warming up the crowd? If I had to guess, I’d say that Michelle has cut him off for the duration. Obama raised $9 million at $28K+ a head. That would be over 300 people. I wonder what you had to pay for the good seats?…

I saw a car parked near the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, and I couldn’t resist a shot. (License number altered to protect what I guess is “privacy.”) “Whatever can that mean?” I thought. Cannibals for Obama? Some things I find hard to swallow. I understand that people are into all kinds of lifestyles…

If you want to learn more about Obama and the Democrat’s connection to the mortgage meltdown may I suggest the following to start: The Best Congress Fannie Could Buy McCain ties mess to Obama – video Fannie – A Time Line The government giveth standards, the government taketh them away H/T Hot Air which describes…

…if Freddie and Fannie had stuck to low-risk lending they would today not be needing any government bailout. So said Arnold Kling (who bases his view partly on personal experience), and while I’m not an economist, I’m inclined to agree. It strikes me as logical that “low risk lending” is impossible without the presence of…

It seems like Senator ∅ has taken a crash course in order to gain foreign policy expertise. One minor problem. The course is crashing. The Obama campaign spent more than five hours on Monday attempting to figure out the best refutation of the explosive New York Post report that quoted Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari…

According to leading economist Greg Mankiw, this situation looks serious: And there’s the usual scary headline to go with it: Economists Warn Anti-Bush Merchandise Market Close To Collapse Not to be a nay-saying pooh-pooher (and yes I do realize that people will be losing businesses and jobs) but just for once, can’t we please just…

Dick Polman is on the left, and while I don’t agree with him politically, he’s a shrewd political analyst. Yesterday, in a column calling the current economic problems a “mojo opportunity” for Obama he expressed obvious irritation at his party, saying that if Obama couldn’t exploit this economic opportunity properly, they didn’t deserve to win:…

John McCain has opened up a new front in the vote fraud wars. ARLINGTON, VA — The McCain-Palin 2008 campaign today announced the formation of the Honest and Open Election Committee, with a mission to ensure that every qualified citizen has the opportunity to vote in a fair and transparent manner. The committee will work…

It seems like the Democrats are fighting over money. Earlier this month, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid made a personal appeal to Barack Obama: Help me grow the Democrats’ Senate majority by sharing some of the $77 million you’ve got in the bank. Obama’s campaign said no. Although Democratic insiders say a better deal could…

If you want to get deeper into the history of the mortgage meltdown, The Wall Street Journal has a page of links to its past articles. Here are a few titles and dates to give you an idea. • Inside Fannie 03/19/02 – Fan and Fred don’t function like other companies. They’re allowed to pile…

McCain echos what I said in The Best Congress Fannie Could Buy. Obama’s cronies and advisers are the thieves. H/T Instapundit

The days are getting shorter here in my new town. (Ann Arbor.) If experience is any guide, they’ll continue to get shorter until December 21. The problem is, Michigan is further north than Pennsylvania, and as far as I’m concerned, the days were too short there in the winter. Quite frankly, I was suffering from…

Yay! A criticism of Barack Obama that cannot be called “racist”: Barack Obama is truly a phenomenon of our time– a presidential candidate who cannot cite a single serious accomplishment in his entire career, besides advancing his own career with rhetoric. He has a rhetorical answer for everything. Those of us who talk about the…

Michele Catalano takes a close look at the Jill Greenberg affair in a piece titled “Unrepentant Photographer Turns McCain Into a Monster“: What has become of journalistic integrity? As if it wasn’t already on its way to a slow death, its demise has been shoved forward a few steps thanks to the Atlantic and photographer…

This is a long and complicated story about how Obama backers were behind the mortgage industry meltdown. It hast to start some where, so lets start with a well known Chicago name Penny Pritzker. It starts with a bank failure. Unfortunately, this wasn’t the case for the 1,406 people who lost much of their life…

The New York Post has some surprising news. Johnny Mac and Sarah Palin have picked up 5 points in New York State. Boosted by the selection of Sarah Palin as his running mate, Republican John McCain has experienced a surge of support among women in heavily Democratic New York state – where he has closed…
