New Obama Logo Has Star and Crescent

I took a chance with posting this…
I’m hoping the MiSSouri goon squad does not come drag me away in the night.

Here’s the latest Obama logo complete with the Islamic star and crescent:

That’s unfortunate.
Obama was just getting over his Muslim faith gaffe. Now this.
Bummer.

“Let This Be a First.” -Denver Post

by Jon Caldara | 11:46 am, September 30, 2008

Word is, there are a number of pigs flying into an icy dome that has formed on the outskirts of hell. The Denver Post came out in favor of Amendment 49 in an editorial yesterday and I couldn’t be happier. And much like the Rocky endorsement, the Post identified the opponents’ misleading arguments [...]

Quote of the Day – Rudy Giuliani

by Mr. Bob | 10:47 am, September 30, 2008

From HughHewitt.com

Barack Obama has done what he’s done throughout his entire career, which is vote present, not offer any leadership. We don’t even know what part of the plan he supports or doesn’t support. John McCain delivered sixty Republican votes. When he went to Washington last week, only four Republicans in the House were in favor of this. They ended up with 64. There were enough Republican votes for the Democrats to get this done, but a third of the Democrats abandoned Nancy Pelosi. I have a feeling that if Barack Obama were at the table rolling up his sleeves, taking the same risk that John McCain took, they could have gotten that other twenty or thirty Democratic votes. It might have helped get a few more Republican votes if they saw that kind of commitment on the Democratic side.

HH: Should Obama be out there right now demanding that this pass on Thursday, Mayor?

RG: Of course. He should be working the phones. That’s what a president…this is what our great presidents do. They work the phones. It just doesn’t all happen because you make a speech and say change. It just doesn’t happen because you have a catch phrase or you happen to be able to have sort of a rock star effect on people. Politicians don’t care about rock star effects on people. They care about are you negotiating with me, what you are going to do for me, how are you going to get it done. I passed a lot of legislation as Mayor of New York City. It didn’t happen because I’m a rock star. It happened because I could negotiate with people, and I could work with them to get it done. John McCain can do that. Remember, when he went to Washington, with all the Democrats attacking him, he took the Republicans from four to 64. When Barack Obama went to Washington, it looks like the Democrats disappeared.

Do the Democrats WANT the Economy to fail to score political points?

by Mr. Bob | 9:48 am, September 30, 2008

I would not put it past them, they have accused our troops of mass murder and terrorism in the past just to garner support, why would they not tank the economy so they could swoop in and fix it after the election? Until they prove to me otherwise, that is the way I am leaning.
From Founding Bloggers

There is plenty of evidence that Democrats wanted the bailout vote to fail today.
During this national crisis, the vicious speech by Speaker Pelosi was not designed to bring the parties together or to gain any Republican votes.

Apparently, according to Rove, Democrats were already talking about how they were going to use the vote to attack Republicans before the votes were even counted.

More… Even Obama Campaign co-chair Jesse Jackson Jr. voted against the bill.

It was just another chance for the Speaker to play politics…..read the rest and watch Karl Rove’s evisceration of Pelosi‘s inability to lead.

Economist Tells us Why He Urged Congress to Vote Against the Bailout

by Mr. Bob | 8:46 am, September 30, 2008

The current mess would never have occurred in the absence of ill-conceived federal policies. The federal government chartered Fannie Mae in 1938 and Freddie Mac in 1970; these two mortgage lending institutions are at the center of the crisis. The government implicitly promised these institutions that it would make good on their debts, so Fannie and Freddie took on huge amounts of excessive risk.

Worse, beginning in 1977 and even more in the 1990s and the early part of this century, Congress pushed mortgage lenders and Fannie/Freddie to expand subprime lending. The industry was happy to oblige, given the implicit promise of federal backing, and subprime lending soared.

This subprime lending was more than a minor relaxation of existing credit guidelines. This lending was a wholesale abandonment of reasonable lending practices in which borrowers with poor credit characteristics got mortgages they were ill-equipped to handle.

The fact that government bears such a huge responsibility for the current mess means any response should eliminate the conditions that created this situation in the first place, not attempt to fix bad government with more government.

The obvious alternative to a bailout is letting troubled financial institutions declare bankruptcy. Bankruptcy means that shareholders typically get wiped out and the creditors own the company.

Bankruptcy does not mean the company disappears; it is just owned by someone new……
