Just breaking on MSNBC and Politico, Oliver, the questioner that asked the question regarding the details of the bailout had a rebuke on McCain's response. Turns out, he has actually heard of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. He has posted his response on Facebook. Albeit he is leaning towards to Obama, it seems that McCain did himself a great disservice by being condescending.

The McCain's new meme is the undying question "Who is Barack Obama". Since they evidently never got any of the memos during the primaries, or never paid much attention to the Clinton Opposition Research findings, they are raising this question to again try to present Obama as a "mystery. This is of course on of the most cynical and may I add, stupid, lines of attack I have seen. Did they forget that we have had now over 21 months to evaluate the man? Did they forget that we have seen over 20 debates and have yet to see the "terrorist" come out? Do they think we are really that stupid? Are they counting on us to be that stupid? Yes...they are.

I had an opportunity in California to vote early today! I am so excited and it seems as though early voting is well on its way. Woo Hoo! Besides my obvious jubilation at having cast a vote in what I believe to be a huge moment in American History, I also just found out by watching Keith Olbermann on Countdown, that McCain actually voted for the Bear DNA earmark. Remember that one? Remember McCain discussing the abuse of earmarks and pork in bills? Remember him specifically using the Bear DNA earmark as an example regarding wasteful spending? Remember?...well, I guess McCain seemed to have forgotten about one leeeetle detail...

I have just been been freeping John McCain's blogsight, and I've noticed another smear along its way. Recently, as of September 21st, a poster on You tube put together a video trying to tie in Obama with Raila Odinga. I am not going to post the video (just the link) since it is a fabrication and based on already dis-proven claims by Paula Abeles - a PUMA

Also, just read that the Press in Florida were discouraged to speak to Palin supporters? WTF?

Can I just say that since Rachel Maddow has gotten her own show, I have been waiting for her to have the opportunity to question a representative of John McCain's campaign. I have been waiting for her to grab them by their lying necks and ask them the questions that we can only all dream to ask. And oh boy, did she do that tonight. The normally very slick Nancy Pfotenhauer ventured on the Rachel Maddow show tonight, and tried to get across all of John McCain's talking points in her usual rambling style. Rachel was not having any of it. GO RACHEL!

Just now there is an article on William Black, "-- a deputy director of the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation during the "Keating Five" scandal that nearly ended McCain's political career". He is warning that upon reviewing not only McCain's record on deregulation, but also the advisers he is surrounding himself with, he has not learned the lessons of the Keating 5 Era. He is on the track in his proposed presidency to repeat the very errors that he had already imposed during this shameful period in his life. Is the really the guy that we want within such close proximity to the 3AM phone call?

By now, unless you have been living in a cave, you are probably very aware of the economic crisis that we have now impacting Wall Street (Main Street of course had been impacted for awhile). Whether you agree with the "bailout" or "rescue plan" or "pile of cow patties", we can all agree, that this is a crisis at some level. For those of us who are not economic experts (and even they are split) make we do need a " Economy for dummies" manual. However, in lieu of this, please refer to the ABC Cartoon explanation of the Credit Crunch we are facing and what we may see further down the road if the government doesn't act appropriately.

Recently with all the news regarding our flailing economy, the off shore drilling bill that our Democratic Congress put forth was muted in coverage. I saw Rachel Maddow cover it on her show, and researched a bit more. Turns out, our dear Democratic representatives may be much more crafty than we think. Turns out, the Off shore drilling bill was pig with lipstick. It was an attempt to stonewall Off shore drilling. Notice, no republicans actually bit on this.
Read to the end, I have what is my humble read on what the Democrats are doing with this bailout plan. Some call it a "Trap", but I argue that the trap could easily be set for the Republicans on this as well. I argue that the Dems are actually setting the trap for the Republicans. It's all about who controls the narrative. Check out the example on the "Oil Drilling Energy bill" below.

We have now heard the latest charges and counter-charges regarding McCain and his forever fluid positions regarding social security. Especially with this weeks events regarding our economic market, this is a message that the Obama campaign is driving to one of McCain's 7-12 doorsteps. McCain, thy name is flip-flop.

The Obama campaign is going full force on Women's Rights issues. They have just released an ad with Lilly Ledbetter as their spokesperson on what McCain's HAS NOT done to promote EQUAL PAY FOR EQUAL WORK. McCain came out with a lame response, one that I've seen on other blogs regarding Obama's senate staff average pay for women being less than his. Once again, McCain's campaign forgot one very important element. It's "Equal Pay for equal Work".

Oh god, I haven't cried out of laughter in a long time. I know that we all by now have seen clips on T.V of Lady Lynn Forester Hilton Poo de la Poo de Rothschild try in all her might to explain her decision to back McCain. We all know that she has bucked common sense for a "feeling" that Obama is Elitist. I saw Cambell Brown on CNN rip her a new one for not being able to actually name one specific thing that Obama has done that has been elitist. And then I read this article and just about peed my pants in laughter. The comments are hilarious as well!

Just a few minutes ago, I watched the entire video of NOW and their endorsement of the Obama/Biden campaign. Their sentiments were echoed by another article by Sean Penn on the Huffington Post. This is very good reading as i think it reflects the shifting mood from the Palin phenomenon to the Palin reality. As more of the public is being exposed to not only the crisis of our economy and the traffic of information on her background, the topic is now turning to McCain, and his decision making abilities and lack of real understanding towards the "fundamentals" we face.
