Obviously it ignores several key legislative pushes by the GOP and its argument for the Community Reinvestment Act is a bit shaky.

How valid is this video? It's obvious that the Democrats screwed up in a number of places but this video makes it out like the GOP is without blame.

Anytime you make another group out to be the enemy, you then absolve yourself of any blame. Why do you think many right wingers like talk radio so much?

Be that as it may, how valid is that video?

Someone tried to tell me that YouTube was trying to hide this video.

There's certainly blame to go around. The Republicans are not blameless.

That said Obama and Pelosi, Barney Franks, Maxine Waters, etc look like complete and utter asswipes each time they open their mouths to bark about how this economic crisis is the result of failed policies of the Bush administration.

The audacity it takes to spew such disingenuous claims in the face of so much evidence of their own culpability points to a disgusting nature, a character completely void of honor and integrity.

They pulled the first one. Warner complained of copyright infringement due to the background music.

Oh and the Calvin Roberson stuff....man I can't wait for the media to start investigating that crap. If Obama really did play a role in suing a bank, citicorp, in order to REQUIRE them to grant loans to African Americans who were unqualified then he's an even bigger douchebag than I ever could have imagined.

Well being that only about 30% of sub-prime loans at risk for foreclosure or in foreclosure were under CRA, its a load of bunk.

You know how even now you have some on the far right still claiming that Iraq had huge stockpiles of Chemical and Biological weapons, and that they were some how smuggled into Syria in the days before the war. Well, that is an example of zealots refusing to accept reality.

Similarly, we have the cult of the absolute unregulated free market doing what ever the can, no manner how absurd, to blame this crisis on anything but deregulation. Basically, their religion is under assault, so they are not going to accept reality.

Welcome to the world of Popular Right Wing Mythology. Where there are no transitional fossils, increased greenhouse gas concentrations do not warm the climate, tax cuts always result in more revenue than would have otherwise been raised, homosexuality is a choice, Peer Reviewed Science has a Liberal Bias, Iraq had massive stockpiles of WMD right before we went in, and now where liberals are supposedly completely to blame for the current financial crisis.

This is one of the most blatantly ignorant posts I've seen in awhile.

What are you going to say if it's shown to be absolutely true that Obama sued a bank in order to force them to grant loans to unqualified people???

I can't wait to watch you all defend that ****.

SouthernDemocrat

Well I am sorry, but I don't trust rumors on the Free Republican and Right Wing Talk Radio. The people that called Clinton a rapist and a murderer do not have a solid track record of honesty. It very well could be that Obama was involved in a Civil Rights lawsuit because there was evidence that minorities were actually being discriminated against. You know that does actually happen.
