Glen Beck is REAAAALLY trying it!

Oh noes! Some animal on the internet called me ignorant. My internet life is shattered.

Loans...as in, home mortgage loans.

Was it really that hard to understand Solitary Brother's point??
I guess so.

Solitary nailed it, IMO. Some of Barack's biggest backers in '08 were Wall Street money, and now that it appears he's not gonna play ball, they're going to insure he doesn't win a 2nd term by tightening lending indirectly through smaller commercial banks.

If banks don't lend, small companies can't expand, less manufacturing and fewer new jobs = one term POTUS.

No no no no no.
Your not getting it.
Barack Obama is doing EVERYTHING the bankers want.
That so called financial reform was totally watered down.
They are doing it not because they dont like Obama......they are doing it because THEY will benefit when these people default on their loans.
Its about money...they want more and more...its not about Obama at all.

You have some of these racists who are REALLY taunting black people...do they want a fucking race war?
One of the main reasons I voted for Obama was because of these racist bastards dogging him and now Beck going after Dr King?
Some of ya'll dont know how violent black people can be but if you continue with the bullshit you are going to find out.

We dont need this bullshit.......especially now.

Well, if shit breaks out, I'll be on your side. Glen Beck is a fuckin' dumb ass douche bag. If you really think it makes sense to turn this into a race deal, don't think for a second that he's our mascot. I fuckin' hate that guy.

Oh right. Banks wanted the bureaucratic nightmare of Obama's healthcare system. Right. Gotcha.

Huh? & just what control does the Federal Government exert over people's daily lives? I hear this constant whine, but I can't find any evidence that it's true. They regulate interstate & international commerce, but day to day life?

Let's see the list.

Let's see, they have laws regulating:

drugs/intrastate & interstate manufacturing/labor/wages/standards/banks/commerce/interstate and intrastate roads/waterways/schools/food/cars/trains/planes/ships/parks/energy production/pensions/social security/mail/hospitals/patents/copyright/immigration/anything that receives federal money, and a ton of other things, but that list is off the top of my head.

I'm not even getting into the debate about what they are and aren't suppose to regulate under the Constitution, but my point that they have a direct and strong influence on day to day life is a valid one.

no, the only beneficiary of your new health care bill are the insurance companies. and if they go up in business, so do the banks.

And i agree with SB on this one, this aint about Obama. Obama is a cool dude but unfortunately has no power, at all, he's a muppet. The CIA is all over his ass, he's nothing more than a marketing machine on a leash.

Fuck the history books! I'm white and for civil rights across the board. BIG FUCKING PERIOD! So don't lump me in with any group of racists or bigots of any kind. You're reading the wrong history books pal. I'm not saying things can't always get better, they can. But you are perpetuating racism from all angles with that type of bullshit comment.

"Im looking in ALL the history books and trying to find where the white people of America were EVER for "civil rights" other than their own.
Im still trying to find it."

WTF indeed.

The damn "community reinvestment act" started this whole thing. Giving loans to people that have bad or no credit. Clinton forced the banks to make the loans. Everyone knows it, why dont you? Read it up before spewing you bullshit! Carter started it and Clinton made it worse. They knew these banks werent getting their money back, and forced them to do it anyway!!!

Its the liberal spin, buddy. Anyone that disagrees with them is racist or dumb. This cant possibly be new to you.
