What a laugh! The “Sell-Out Express” rolls on toward the “Bridge to Nowhere”! He forgets to mention Obama FIRED that VP-selector after he found conflicts of interest. Has McSame fired any of his WALL STREET ADVISORS? Answer: NO!!!
Trying to blame everything on Freedy & Fannie: what incredible distortion! He is for the “Bail-out” scam too! LIES, LIES, and MORE LIES! -and this BEFORE the election! WARS? Never heard of it (“Let’s have MORE”).
