Who Really Done it?

Barack Obama has been barnstorming the country trying to prevent the onrushing electoral tsunami due to swamp his party on November 2nd when an angry electorate exacts their revenge against a president and Democratic party they believe betrayed them.

Incredibly, despite clear evidence to the contrary, he insists on blaming the Bush administration for the full responsibility for the current economic turndown. That’s an outright deception and he knows it.

Given the real facts about just who got the recession ball rolling that takes a hell of a lot of chutzpah – Obama knows full well who bears the real responsibility - most of the real blame falls upon the shoulders of two of Obama’s top Democratic allies on the Hill – Sen. Christopher Dodd (D-Conn) and Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass).

It was these two far left members of the Congress who lit the fuse that set off the recession bomb that all but leveled the economy, and them alone.

Along with Obama, they have done everything to conceal their roles in the political disaster, making it clear that their top priority is to hide the truth of their roles in the politically-driven management and corrupt oversight of giant mortgage lenders, the Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae) and the Federal Home Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac).

Says Judicial Watch’s president Thomas Fitton: “The failed Washington oversight, political corruption and personal greed at ‘Fanny Mae’ and ‘Freddy Mac’ helped cause the financial crisis that’s creating so much distress for American families today.â€

Aided by groups like ACORN and La Raza.

Among the top four recipients of money from Fannie Mae in order of cash magnitude were, surprise! Sen. Christopher Dodd (D-CT), the Chairman of the Senate Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs Committee;

"Resolved, that it is the judgment of the Senate that the Senator from Connecticut, Thomas J. Dodd...deserves the censure of the Senate; and he is so censured for his conduct, which is contrary to accepted morals, derogates from the public trust expected of a senator, and tends to bring the Senate into dishonor and disrepute." - as read by the Senate clerk June 23, 1967


Seems as though the old adage 'the nut falls not far from the tree' may have some merit. 'Like father, like son?'
