Maybe the US Government Could Learn Something from Prostitutes with Credit Crisis … Oldest Profession is not Suffering

Hey Congress, White House and Feds it looks like you guys and gals could learn a thing or two from the oldest profession. They seem to be doing something right. As the Dow Jones plummets followed by the world markets, the business of prostitution is still strong. After all many have said there really is not much of a difference between the two professions these days. Of course these days prostitutes have a higher approval rating than Congress and pretty much do the will of the people, or at least their “Johns”. I bet prostitutes would never extend 100 to 1 debt to asset ratio loans to their customer.

Isn’t this special, according to The Daily News even though the stock market has tanked and investors have lost their collective shirts … the world’s oldest profession keeps chugging along as business is still brisk. Some people have cut back on their services; however, it appears that many need the get away from their 9–5 jobs. I guess it pays to be in a cash business.

The long-haired, long-legged hooker then explained why the red-light district remains a blue-chip commodity: “If men are horny, they’re going to come in here.”

Take that, Ben Bernanke.

Barack Obama Smelly Plane … Seeing How The Other Half Lives … “everything that goes around comes around”

Who knew that Phoebe from “Friends” should be the house band on the Barack Obama plane singing her never ending rendition of Smelly Cat? Seems that Dean Reynolds of CBS News has changed candidate coverage from Obama to McCain and as he states, The differences between the two are striking. Reynolds also makes a rather glaring comment in regards to the Obama campaign, “But in politics, everything that goes around comes around”

Smelly Plane, Smelly Plane,
What are they feeding you?
Smelly Plane, Smelly Plane
It’s not your fault

They won’t take you to the vet
You’re obviously not their favorite pet
Smelly Plane, Smelly Plane,
It’s not your fault

You may not be a bed of roses
You’re not friend to those with noses
I’ll miss you before we’re done
Or the world will smell as one

Reynolds also makes a rather glaring comment in regards to the Obama campaign, “But in politics, everything that goes around comes around” It would appear that the press is treated better aboard McCain One vs. Air Obama. It would also seem that the McCain camp is more organized.

Full Contact TV: Bill O’Reilly Blasts Rep. Barney Frank, Chairman of the House Services Committee, For His Roll in Failed Fannie Mae-Freddie Mac

LET’S GET READY TO RUMBLE … Welcome to FCT, Full Contact TV

Tonight on The Factor, Bill O’Reilly ripped Barny Frank, House Representative and Chairman of the House Services Committee, for his roll in the failed Fannie Mae-Freddie Mac scandal. WOW, this is must see You Tube!!! Watch what happens when Barney Frank tries to lie his way out of what he actually said. Make no mistake who was to blame for these financial disasters and who looked the other way and ran cover while Fannie and Freddie sank deeper into total failure.

O’Reilly calls Frank a coward for not being man enough to own up for his part in the Fannie Mae-Freddie Mac scandal. Just another example of a gutless politician who maintains his power while screwing “We the People”.  Grab a drink and some chips and enjoy this beat down.

Starting five years ago, when Frank rejected Bush administration efforts to clamp down on Fannie and Freddie, claiming they were – quote – “not facing a financial crisis,” dismissing fears as exaggerations that would “pressure” the lenders to cut back on housing loans to those in need.

Barely 15 months later, with Fannie and Freddie engulfed in scandal over the same “terrible mistakes” Frank so abhors in the private sector, he was conceding they might need to be “better regulated,” but “not at the expense of housing” loans.

Fast forward another year, and Frank was still fighting off efforts to curb Fannie and Freddie’s borrowing, rejecting a regulator’s bid for greater authority, and clearing the way for larger and more lucrative loans, all by way of resisting Republican “extremism,” Frank said.

August of 2007, another push by regulators for more oversight is dismissed by Frank, now Chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, as “inane.”

So, is Barney Frank blameless for the Fannie-Freddie fiasco?

Sorry, congressman, the Spin-o-Meter knows a whopper when it tastes one.

 Barney Frank on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac in 2003 discussing oversight. As the Gateway Pundits states, Frank’s comments concerning Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac might actually be considered funny, it it didn’t wind up costing “We the People” $700 billion.

That is, in my view, the two government sponsored enterprises we are talking about here, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, are not in a crisis. We have recently had an accounting problem with Freddie Mac that has led to people being dismissed, as appears to be appropriate. I do not think at this point there is a problem with a threat to the Treasury.

 

I must say we have an interesting example of self-fulfilling prophecy. Some of the critics of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac say that the problem is that the Federal Government is obligated to bail out people who might lose money in connection with them. I do not believe that we have any such obligation. And as I said, it is a self-fulfilling prophecy by some people.

 

So let me make it clear, I am a strong supporter of the role that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac play in housing, but nobody who invests in them should come looking to me for a nickel–nor anybody else in the Federal Government.

Biden’s Comment on Obama’s Email Ad Against McCain, “I thought it was Terrible” … Joe Biden … I was against the Obama email ad, before I was for it.

Joe Biden … I was against the Obama email ad, before I was forced to say I was for it.

The Obama camp knew when they picked Joe Biden to be their VP candidate that he was a loose cannon and prone to off the wall ad lib comments. Biden is a sound bite waiting to happen. First Joe told Barack Obama, “hands off my guns.” Now it appears that Biden during an interview with Katie Couric has commented on Obama’s smear ad against McCain and the fact that he does not use email; “I thought it was terrible”.

Asked about the negative tone of the campaign, and this ad in particular, during an interview broadcast Monday by the “CBS Evening News,” Obama’s running mate, Sen. Joe Biden, said he disapproved of it.

“I thought that was terrible, by the way,” Biden said.

Asked why it was done, he said: “I didn’t know we did it and if I had anything to do with it, we’d have never done it.”

VIDEO (go to 4:10 where he says he thought the McCain E-mail ad about his good friend John McCain was “terrible)

What is comical is the fact that SNL performed a skit this past weekend that portrayed John McCain approving political ads whether they were factually correct or not. That skit was supposed to be satire, see VIDEO here. Granted, the skit is funny but check out Obama’s actual campaign and what Biden said during his interview. The reality in the Obama campaign is Biden does not know who was approving their ads. When Couric asks whether Barack Obama did, Biden does not answer. SNL may offer you satire … Obama ads offer a glimpse of reality as to who approves ads. (4:35 point of the interview). It would appear that SNL got the candidates mixed up in their skit, shocker.

Was this a gaffe by Biden or just an honest personal answer to a wrong he saw done to a friend? As Red State discusses, exactly how is a candidate not aware of the political ads that are being released? Whatever the case may be, the Obama camp later that day released a statement as they could not trust  Biden to comment and back tracked on Biden’s words toward The Chosen One.

Late Monday, Obama campaign spokesman Bill Burton issued a statement from Biden. In it, Biden said he “was asked about an ad I’d never seen” and was “reacting merely to press reports.”

Biden said that, as he said in the interview, there was nothing “intentionally personal” in the criticism of McCain’s views.

“Having now reviewed the ad, it is even more clear to me that given the disgraceful tenor of Sen. McCain’s ads and their persistent falsehoods, his campaign is in no position to criticize, especially when they continue to distort Barack’s votes on an issue as personal as keeping kids safe from sexual predators,” Biden said.

Biden Calls Obama Attack Ad “Terrible”

SNL, Tina Fey & Amy Poehler Take Jabs at Sarah Palin & Hillary Clinton … Obama Barbs No Where to be Found

Tina Fey and Amy Poehler take their pokes at Sarah Palin and Hillary Clinton

Of course it was funny, but how far in the tank is SNL for Obama? SNL and the lack of pretense of an actor poking fun at Obama show America one of the very reasons why people cannot vote for Obama. Just as in the case with John Kerry, the candidate is stiff, rigid and not real. If one cannot laugh at themselves, who can they laugh at? What it does show is the continued media bias.

What a shocker, Saturday Night Live makes Sarah Palin fair game and to some extent Hillary Clinton; however, the Chosen One Barack Obama manages to escape the roast and ridicule.

During the skit Amy Poehler, aka Hillary Clinton, tell the press “to grow a pair and if you can’t I will lend you mine” in an obvious cry for the liberal MSM to go after Palin and question her. Hey Amy and the rest of the libs at SNL, have you been watching? What do you think the MSM has been doing in an all out vicious and unprecedented manner. I guess Amy Poehler, in her liberal bias missed these media articles:

• Palin Disclosures Raise Questions on Vetting
• Can Sarah Palin survive NY Times ‘attack’ piece?
• ABC’s Gibson grilled Palin hard, but it may backfire
• Bristol Palin’s pregnancy raises issues of privacy, judgment

The attack dogs have been out in force since Sarah Palin was announced in an attempt to destroy her. Barack Obama has even made an obvious dig at Palin with his lipsticking a pig comment.

So the question to SNL is why can’t they seem to find it in themselves to poke fun at Barack Obama? It is not as if SNL did not do skits that were not flattering to Democratic Presidential hopefuls like Al Gore and John Kerry. SNL has certainly had their fun with Bill and Hillary Clinton. Darrell Hammond and the late Phil Hartman were and still are the best depictions of Bill Clinton. Also, Hammond’s “lock box” skit of Al Gore is legendary.

So why no Obama? Do not tell us that Obama has not provided the SNL writers with material. Of course he has. Why is it that The Chosen One appears live vs. having someone imitate him? SNL had no problem nailing Hillary Clinton last Halloween.

If SNL can spoof McCain for his age, why can’t they pike fun at Obama in the same manner wearing a diaper and a baby rattle? If SNL can attack Palin for her inexperience at being a VP, at the very least one would think that they could do the same for Obama’s lack of experience to be President. Isn’t that the fairness doctrine that the Democrats have been railing about? Of course Sarah Palin should be asked questions; however, Obama should be asked the very same ones in the very same manner and tone.

UPDATE I: As The Corner states the best line of the SNL skit was Hillary saying, “I didn’t want a woman to be president. I wanted to be president.” It was actually a toss up as to who SNL was slamming more … in many respects it seemed as if it was Hillary.

UPDATE II: Sure Palin may have laghed at the skit; however, the Washington Monthly misspoke when it said the following: It’s a sketch comedy show. It mocks everyone, exaggerating shortcomings and creating caricatures. That’s the point. Ph contraire, SNL does not mock everyone. It does not mock The Chosen One, Barack Obama.
