BILL CLINTON BLAMES DEMS FOR FINANCIAL COLLAPSE

While Obama, largest recipient of millions of dollars from the financial and securities lobbyists (and second largest recipient of lobby bucks from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac) is running around the country  taking all credit for the new American socialism  and putting all blame on the Republicans.

This from the empty suit who could not formulate a policy statement when the crisis broke. He said he wanted to "wait". Yeah for McCain's policy statement so that he could crib it and then accuse McCain of stealing it from him.

Hard to keep up with three card Omonty. Gotta love Clinton on this. The only time the black curtain is lifted on the leftist forces of darkness, is when there is a power grab. Fascinating in a sun tzu kinda way.

FORMER PRESIDENT BILL CLINTON BLAMES CORRUPT DEMOCRATS FOR FANNIE MAE MELTDOWN ABC news (hat tip JM)

President Clinton told ABC News That the blame for the Fannie Mae Meltdown Lies squarely at the feet of Corrupt DEMOCRATS who blocked efforts to regulate and investigate Fannie Mae. You have to admire his honesty, candor, and political courage-

Hear Barney Frank On Video "There Is No Crisis At Fannie Mae"

The New York Post here --

There are former CEOs of Fannie Mae, Interim and assistant CEOs, Four US Senators and at least two members of the US House of Representatives who should GO TO JAIL for BRIBING members of Congress to block investigations of Fannie Mae Abuses.

UPDATE: "They'll call me if they need me"

I guess they didn't need him. Another set of reps! (Obama working hard, at the gym)

Unbelievably, I'm starting to like Bill Clinton a bit. His very deviousness and slickness is the very thing that may save us. While pretending to support Obama, he seems to be actually undermining him whenever he gets the chance.

I would ask you, Pamela, to reconsider your own decision not to attack Obama, for fear of, as you put it, "shilling for Hillary." I think it is imperative that we prevent any risk of Obama getting elected. Millions of fraudulent dollars are being devoted to that very task. He just might pull it off. The prospect of Hillary being President is not so frightening.

While Clinton is correct about corrupt Democrats, his speech is basically an ass-covering exercise. Many of those corrupt Democrats worked for, and reported to him.

Well, of course, Slick Willy knows that whoever is elected will be a one-termer due to the current mess. And if Mac wins then that will place Hilary in the best position to win POTUS in 2012.

Un-freakin' believable.

Here we have Bill Clinton publicly taking a position that John McCain should be and hasn't said a freakin' word about it!

McCain should have POUNCED on Obama in the debate about the root cause of this financial mess.

This bailout is a result of Affirmative Action in banking and trying to make home ownership the constitutional right of even the most unqualified mortgage applicants.

Where is McCain on this? He should be screaming from the roof tops that it was DEMOCRATS like Obama who resisted attempts to restrict the irresponsible lending practices of Freddie and Fannie.

Bill Clinton, the Republican candidates best friend. Is it too late to ask Sarah to take a rain check and see if Bill is available to step in? (jus' jokin')

McCain can't say it, because Obama will come back with McCain's alleged involvement in the 1989 Keating Five Savings and Loan scandal. And even if McCain didn't have this albatross, it's not his style to alienate his friends, the Democrats. AND McCain wants to avoid the appearance of being a hypocrite on the passage
of the bailout which is more of the same kind of intervention that started the whole mess to begin with.

Elvis, you are right, but it seems clear that the public ignores fine details and the net effect of McCain's hammering home the Democrats' guilt in this matter in the very exposed medium of the debates would be good for him and educational for everyone.

It is the debates that have the attention of people who follow the MSM and swallow everything as gospel. And these people form broad narratives through which they interpret every fact and determine its weight. That is why they, so far, discount the negatives they hear about Obama and take notice of negatives about McCain. The job is to help them see their "narrative" is wrong by an undeniable, logical, and dramatic fact.

Thank G*d for the new CEO of Citizens for McCain Bill Clinton.

I presume we can get him a nice intern and the job at Fannie Mae. Why not?!?

And then put Chelsea in charge of Freddie Mac?!? Why not?!?

Just watching and hearing the Daily Koscream will be worth it.

2T3MzooK, you said, "The job is to help them see their "narrative" is wrong by an undeniable, logical, and dramatic fact."

This, citing Bill Clinton, could be the ammunition in the next debate that Mac can use without alienating Obama leaners who discount his negatives.

BUT, McCain is on board with the bailout and I think they will both avoid the subject as much as possible, which they hope will have been put to rest. And I think this is the real reason for the rush to complete the bailout.

In a nutshell neither of the candidates have the best interests of Main Street at heart.
