capitalistic markets?</p> <p>According to EVRI, the FBI has investigated IndyMac, but I doubt that the FBI is investigating IndyMac that intensively - see <a href="http://www.evri.com/organization/federal-bureau-of-investigation-0x31196.html">http://www.evri.com/...</a> for a list of companies / entities that links to articles about what the FBI is investigating / scrutinizing currently.</p> <p>more after the jump...</p> rss@dailykos.com (seattlegirl) Bailout financialdebacle Fraud GreatWallStreetSwindle Mortgages Subprime WilliamBlack _664840 Sat, 22 Nov 2008 00:27:08 +0000 https://www.dailykos.com/story/2008/10/30/609134/-Why-Obama-is-the-real-fiscal-conservative-in-the-Presidential-race <p>As a strong fiscal conservative who believes that individually and collectively people should spend less than they make, I have become very disillusioned by the Republican Party of the 21st Century.</p> <p>more after the jump &nbsp;</p> rss@dailykos.com (seattlegirl) Barack Obama BarackObama financialplan fiscalconservatism JohmMcCain Taxes _609134 Thu, 30 Oct 2008 21:20:51 +0000 https://www.dailykos.com/story/2008/9/30/615913/-Dick-Morris-assessment-of-electoral-vote-Obama-355-McCain-133-Yeah <p>So, I know a lot has been written about the electoral predictions, but I had to write a diary on this because this is just too funny and really, really good news for Obama!</p> <p>Dick Morris (you know, the <del>guy</del> blithering idiot on Fox who hates Obama but hated Hillary more), well for all his faults (and boy are there a lot of them), he also at times apparently can <del>call a spade a spade</del> see the handwriting on the wall that Obama is going to win this election.</p> <p>More after the jump...</p> rss@dailykos.com (seattlegirl) DickMorris ElectoralCollege LandSlide ObamaVictory Vote _615913 Tue, 30 Sep 2008 22:30:25 +0000 https://www.dailykos.com/story/2008/9/24/609052/-Lehman-is-actively-recruiting-huh-w-poll <p>So, by using a new semantic content discovery tool just unveiled today - Evri - I found that Lehman Brothers, which is bankrupt, is on a hiring spree to recruit new employees. &nbsp;How can a company that filed for bankruptcy protection, has their hand out for some of the $700 Billion gravy train payout, and is being investigated by the FBI for fraud be <strong>actively hiring</strong>. &nbsp;Please see <a href="http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/Bankrupt_Lehman_Brothers_on_hiring_spree/rssarticleshow/3508893.cms">http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/...</a> and <a href="http://www.evri.com/organization/lehman-brothers-0x4c788.html">http://www.evri.com/...</a> (the 3rd story listed under Top Articles) for more information on this.</p> rss@dailykos.com (seattlegirl) Bailout Evri GreatWallStreetSwindle LehmanBrothers paulson Wall Street WallStreet _609052 Wed, 24 Sep 2008 21:10:44 +0000 https://www.dailykos.com/story/2008/9/18/603122/-McCain-gaffe-shows-ignorance-of-what-SEC-does <p>Well, McCain is having a pretty bad week...he seems to be losing his "base" (aka &nbsp;the media), and as we have all probably heard by now, many of his fellow Republicans are either saying not so great things about him and Palin and / or endorsing Obama. &nbsp;So, in light of that, it may not come as too much of a surprise that yet another Republican is saying that they are a little surprised about a comment from Mr. "I don't know much about the economy" McCain...but here goes another diary about this...</p> rss@dailykos.com (seattlegirl) FederalReserve Financial Crisis financialcrisis SEC _603122 Thu, 18 Sep 2008 23:34:16 +0000 https://www.dailykos.com/story/2008/9/13/597765/-Some-Talking-Points-From-An-Obamacan <p>As A Moderate Republican Until This Election, Here Are Some Talking Points To Convince Other Moderate Republicans or Independents to Vote for Obama</p> rss@dailykos.com (seattlegirl) CultureWar moderaterepublican Obamacan Republican Script _597765 Sat, 13 Sep 2008 22:49:20 +0000 https://www.dailykos.com/story/2008/5/14/504923/-Funny-Hillary-s-Freudian-Slip <p>Please be gentle. &nbsp;This is my first DailyKos diary, and I am just learning how to do this. &nbsp;I thought this video with Wolf tonight was really funny, as it might provide some insight into why Hillary is staying in the race and how much she will really campaign for Obama. &nbsp;I <strong>hope</strong> that Hillary will indeed campaign really hard for Obama, but I definitely have my doubts about that and interviews with faux pas like this certainly don't help me feel more confident. &nbsp;</p> <p>See Hillary's Freudian Slip "Misspeak" at <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/05/14/clinton/index.html#cnnSTCVideo">http://www.cnn.com/...</a></p> rss@dailykos.com (seattlegirl) Barack Obama BarackObama Freudianslip Hillary Clinton HillaryClinton _504923 Thu, 15 May 2008 06:30:15 +0000
