They Do Well when America Does Not

-Posted by D. Worth (US) | for- M. Barbay (France)

McCain came to the table in a clear nonpartisan effort to engage all parties, in addressing the economy. Whatever that decision would be, and whatever the people and parties would decide; with unity, America would do well...

Many are asking, "Would she actually catalyze an economical ruin, simply to win the election?"

The proposal to completely change the entire US financial structure of the economy, in order to address a 6.5% broken mortgage/bank turn-crisis; finds over 89% Americans completely opposed, and 95 Democrats given the nod to vote against the bill...more.

The roll call vote meets a Media who aids in eliminating the campaign competition; after months of stifling confidence in the US economy.

The Bill:
AYES- Democrats: 140 ; Republicans: 65
NOES- Democrats 95 ; Republicans: 133

This resembles Pelosi on Iraq: Remembering April 26th (07)
Pelosi's Media Assisted, "Surge Against the Surge" was met by the desperate plea from Iraq's foreign minister Hoshyar Zebari; who accused US Democrat legislators of "politicking." read.


FM Hoshyar Zebari said:

"Attempts by US Democrats to hasten the withdrawal of US troops from Iraq are "damaging to security" in the country."read.

The violence came as the Democratic-controlled U.S. Senate adopted House-passed legislation calling for U.S. troops to begin leaving Iraq by Oct. 1. President Bush pledged to veto the measure, and neither body passed the measure with enough votes to override a veto.

Iraqi government spokesman Ali al-Dabbagh said Oct. 1 was too soon for a withdrawal to start and criticized the Senate vote, saying it "sends wrong signals" to armed militants. Full Story.

"This plan is fraught with unintended consequences, would force generations of taxpayers to pick up the tab for Wall Street losses, and could permanently and fundamentally change the role of government in the American free enterprise system. Once the government socializes losses, it will soon socialize profits. If we lose our ability to fail, we will soon lose our ability to succeed. If we bail out risky behavior, we will soon see even riskier behavior. Transcript.


A distinguished Republican House member (video above) speaks to find solution; but met with disdain by "partisan Pelosi"... She sets her fatal grudge, on a collision course with ruin...

Remember: 95 Democrats voted NAY; yet Pelosi and the US Media say that Republican killed the bill...

Insulting cartoon at the Telegraph: View
I guess Pelosi & Reid forgot to inform the entire Int'l community that 95 Democrats, also voted No... The following is absolutely untrue:

Excerpt:
"Rebel Republicans - who see Paulson’s proposals as socialism by the back door - were warned they will be responsible for causing an “amazing catastrophe” if they continue to oppose the plans, which would see taxpayers buy up the bad debts of failing banks. Instead they want an insurance scheme for banks, which would spread the cost to private enterprise."

Five Warships Monitor Somali Pirated Faina: Time to Call Sarko

-Posted by D. Worth (US) | for- M. Barbay (France)

Five nations have been sharing information... to try to secure the swift release of the ship and its crew. Ukraine's foreign ministry said the ship had 21 crew members.

— Ukraine, Somalia, Russia, the United States and Britain... story.

The U.S. Navy said Sunday that a destroyer is tracking the Ukrainian ship, the MV Faina, in the Gulf of Aden. The nationalities of the other warships are not known.



The ship's cargo of 33 Russian-made 72T battle tanks made it a particularly worrying situation, that they might end up in the wrong hands... such as terrorists or violence extremists. The 2nd hand shipment was on its way to the Kenyan government, when Hijacked... Kenyan government spokesman Alfred Mutua, however, insisted his country will not negotiate with pirates or terrorists. more.

Speaking by satellite telephone, Ali said the pirates are demanding a $20-million ransom for the release of the vessel. Reports on Saturday said the rebels wanted $35 million. story.

Time to call Sarkozy....
Remembering: Pirates Captured by French After Hostage Release



As the battleships monitor, unsure what to do... One thing is clear, the weaponry and equipment, on this Ukraine ship, MUST NOT reach Somali shores...
Actually, using five or six warships, is like using a sword to get a fly...

I recommend (in the future) "Sea Marshalls" aboard ships; and a down-scaled upgrade combining all Nations; to create a new and improved small fleet force:

Like some of the bravest: The US Coast Guard... :#


They stayed behind during hurricanes (cat, 3 & 4) ... And saved thousands of lives. A few gangly pirates, would be rather simple stakes, in my view...

Scraped this off of a Military site: Some are saying that there is a safe internationally patrolled corridor for sea traffic in the region, in this case it was either ineffective or the ship in question was outside this corridor...

And there is always someone who will say, "I told you so."

Media Silences Obama's 20 Flips; Including National Security

So far Mr. Obama's Domestic Posture has been to engage and agree with one part of a group; and then later reverse position with the other. Everybody is happy... & completely confused!

"The housing bill now before Congress would set up a slush fund for community organizations such as Acorn. But Acorn has gone quiet in its lobbying for the bill this week with the news that one of its employees -- the brother of Acorn founder Wade Rathke -- had stolen nearly $1 million from the group.

Mr. Rathke decided not to alert law enforcement or the organization's board, and kept his brother employed at Acorn until last month. "Is this the kind of group we want getting taxpayer money?" asks Rep. Ed Royce (R., Calif.) more.

Today, even many historians sympathetic to FDR and his policies concede that they failed to end the Depression (unemployment remained in double digits until World War II) and that some of them worsened the lot of the poor and unemployed more than they helped. Econometric studies show that much of the increased government spending generated by the New Deal was transferred to politically powerful interest groups who could help FDR and his allies win reelection rather than to the poor and needy.

Debate: Round 1 Belongs to the Maverick

-Posted by D. Worth (US) | for- M. Barbay (France)

I was a guest over at ABC, which incidentally, was the best run debate, ever... The host remarked that if ever one said, "Well I'm looking for the heavy-weight boxer." ...McCain was the one.

IMAGES: Charles Dharapak


McCain's wife (also a pilot) flew him in from earlier challenges of the day (D.C. economy) and after the debate, returned... This following question most resonated with my choice of McCain:

When asked what sacrifices they would make in lieu of the economy; if elected President... The bulk of Obama's response wandered to the need for programs for education, adding programs for health care, adding new infrastructure, etc.. etc.. etc.

McCain responded by promising to do what he is famous for.

McCain will immediately audit those in the hundreds of levels of government, to determine the usefulness; and eliminate those who abuse the system, and drain taxpayers' funds...

This crucial issue addresses what nearly brought our Nation to an end.

And I suspect, in light of the track records of the two; that unless McCain is elected, those who still chair these mortgage programs, and still sit on the boards; will find themselves still in the loop...

And HUGE spending i.e: the same players spell a mismanaged green-bubble...

ps: The media has a lot of explaining to do, particulary with how they see themselves in the future... And as with all of America; I am sure they too must change... I can honestly decide for myself, in this election.

From Marc Ambinder ATLANTIC.COM: full.

Article Excerpt:
Though Sen. Chris Dodd implied that Sen. McCain sandbagged the rest of the negotiators by bringing up alternative proposals, McCain himself did not bring up those proposals, according to four independent sources briefed by four different principals inside the meeting, including two Republicans and two Democrats.

"McCain has not attacked the Paulson deal," said a third Republican who was briefed by McCain directly. "Unlike the [Democrats] in the [White House] meeting, he didn't raise his voice or cause a ruckus. He is urging all sides to come together."

The fact is that Boehner doesn't have 100 votes from his conference -- 100 votes that Nancy Pelosi really wants. And that's not McCain's fault.

Both Palin and Colombia's President, Alvaro Uribe hold 80% approval ratings!

The 80% approval is accurate, unless one interviews FARC, election losers, or politicians called out of office for criminal activity... (As Palin's opponents have.) Also tragic, but important to note... President Uribe's father was assassinated by the FARC Rebels... which later brought the Colombian President forward to the aid of his country...

The consensus of the Palin meeting...
Our allies really like her! They've found her to be very empowering, knowledgeable, and dedicated to both the US, and sincere interest in their causes!
Gateway notes: democrats dodge of President Uribe this week in Washington; further displays the Democrat's misunderstanding of peace; as the strengthening of important treaties; rather than phasing them out.

Fannie also bought off activist groups such as the corrupt Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN), which has been indicted, multiple times across the country, for vote fraud (Obama worked closely with ACORN as a street organizer in Chicago). Fannie’s lobbying efforts paid off as liberal politicians such as Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) and Rep. William Clay (D-Mo.) worked to kill any real reform of Freddie and Fannie... The Washington Post reports: “In an internal memo in 2004, Fannie Mae executive Daniel H. Mudd affirmed what the company’s critics had long contended: In the political arena, ‘we always won’ and ‘we took no prisoners.’”

What they ended was any credit-checking at all, as subprime mortgage providers simply stopped verifying self-reported claims of income and in fact ended even the most basic prudential element of a mortgage -- the down payment. Obama Economics Adviser Austan Goolsbee continued defending and lobbying on behalf of the mortgage industry's no-money-down-no-credit-check policies at least until September of 2007.

This is especially true of the Community Development Block Grant funds that have long been a goal of partisan housing activist groups like ACORN. There is an opportunity here to use the recapitalization the White House is now proposing to re-organize housing finance by breaking up Fannie and Freddie and creating several smaller truly private entities that can compete.

Many of you didn't ask the proper questions, and I see this, again... But you must weigh the effect of electing Pelosi affiliates who want a "controlled inquiry... But thrust me... This crisis WILL be cleaned up. People, this it is your country, your money, and your vote... Keep your eyes open to the recent felonies handed down (past and present) And start asking questions!

PS: I leave (Italy) until Saturday...Ciao!

"Superior's failure could still cost the federal deposit insurance fund tens of millions of dollars or more. And hundreds of people whose deposits exceeded federal insurance limits, such as Ms. Sweet, are still out millions of dollars, which will be reduced some by future Pritzker settlement payments." #

Note: One reason Pritzker may have been enamored with Obama was his willingness to press legislation that loosened state regulatory policies for land developers and multi-family property owners. #
