ABC News Edited Out Key Parts of Sarah Palin Interview (Showing Her Knowledgeable On Foreign Policy)

[Iceweasel]

everyone knew no Republican ticket was going to win in 2008 after the debacle of the Bush Administration.

Democrats didn't play a role in the economic crash? WTF?

 

[Redfish]

same as Clinton's, Kerry's, Gore's, and every dem who supported and authorized the Iraq fiasco----------bad intel.

Obama didn't support it.

nope, but he continued it and then made sure that we would lose it so all of those americans who died and the billions we spent would be for nothing.

We lost that war the very minute the Abu Ghraib pictures came out.

Right! And YET what group in this country were against the French Mohammad cartoon was "inflammatory"???
OUR own MSM! Published pictures of an event that was fostered by less then 1/10th of 1% of our military! ONE isolated incidence that was blown so out of
proportion by our MSM and this same super sensitive MSM won't support French press freedom!
The MSM caused more deaths by blowing Abu Ghraib WAY out of proportion!

Don't blame the media, our soldiers were abusing prisoners with the full support of their commanders, the truth was going to come out. Like practically everything in Iraq, the mistake was going there in the first place thinking we could occupy and control the place.

yes, and both parties authorized and funded it. They ALL have blood on their hands.

 

[Steve_McGarrett]

...g.

And a black man bent her back and rode her hard.

That must give you the warm fuzzies.

Actually in Obama's case it would go like, a black man bent HIM over and rode HIM hard.

That would be Reggie Love.

nope, but he continued it and then made sure that we would lose it so all of those americans who died and the billions we spent would be for nothing.

We lost that war the very minute the Abu Ghraib pictures came out.

We lost that war the moment Bush successfully lied us into it.

Stay on topic. This thread is about the media deceptively editing Palins comments out of context to make inexperienced Obama look more experienced at governing compared to a actual governor.

Bullshit. If they didn't edit out those parts she'd look more ditsy than she did after the edits. The edits made her look smarter than she is.

Later, based upon information in the SEC's December 2011 securities fraud case against 6 ex-executives of Fannie and Freddie, Peter Wallison and Edward Pinto estimated that, in 2008, Fannie and Freddie held 13 million substandard loans totaling over $2 trillion.

Barney Frank s Fannie and Freddie Muddle - US News

Fresh off the false and politicized attack on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, today we’re hearing the know-nothings blame the subprime crisis on the Community Reinvestment Act — a 30-year-old law that was actually weakened by the Bush administration just as the worst lending wave began. This is even more ridiculous than blaming Freddie and Fannie.

The Community Reinvestment Act, passed in 1977, requires banks to lend in the low-income neighborhoods where they take deposits. Just the idea that a lending crisis created from 2004 to 2007 was caused by a 1977 law is silly. But it’s even more ridiculous when you consider that most subprime loans were made by firms that aren’t subject to the CRA.

Don't understand if you are upset or what.

But another statement made by the above .."most subprime loans were made by firms that aren't subject to the CRA" is confusing.
The banks were forced to make loans as Obama's role in the 1995 ACORN lawsuit in Chicago was settled out of court by Citibank NOT wanting any massive
blown out of proportion marches by ACORN/Sharpton..."NO LOANS, NO HOMES" chants!
BUT at the same time the FDIC says you can't have those poorly qualified loans counted as assets.
So banks sell them off at a discount to subprime loan repackaging agencies like Fannie/Freddie and with quotes like this:
Oct. 23,2008 (Bloomberg) --
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have an ``effective'' federal guarantee, not the "full faith and credit'' of the U.S. government, Federal Housing Finance Agency
Director James Lockhart said after the hearing. That does give them effectively a guarantee of the U.S. government.''
Lockhart s Fannie Freddie Guarantee Remarks Stir Up Confusion - Bloomberg
So it seems that the "full faith and credit" of the US government BACKED the $2 trillion in sub prime loans guaranteed by FANNIE/FREDDIE.
