[2008Central.net] Obama Press Release: Obama Statement on the State of the Economy: There have been few Administrations so out of touch with the concerns and the struggles of working Americans and so beholden to the lobbyists and special interests who blocked any kind of regulatory oversight of the financial sector. Whether it was subprime lending, credit cards, or bankruptcy laws, Washington has allowed these special interests to prevent sensible policy that could have prevented the most serious effects of the current predicament.
[Redstate - Conservative News and Community] The Sunday Morning Talk Shows: The Review: Senator Chuck Schumer of New York shilled for Hillary while Senator Chris Dodd of Connecticut ran the swindle for Obama for host Chris Wallace on FOX News Sunday this AM. Of course, Wallace played that clip of the Minister Jeremiah Wright mouthing off in boisterous terms about how the United States has treated people of color how the "chickens is come home to roost" for our arrogant foreign policy on September 11, 2001.
[The Strata-Sphere] Chris Dodd Indicates Sinking Obama: Dodd could not answer why Obama has stayed around Wright for years, and answer why the words of this minister were not denounced much early much stronger. Clearly Obama lied to America the other day when he said he was not aware of comments as Chris Wallace dug up an earlier, much weaker rebuttal by referring to Wright as the crazy old uncle who says crazy things.

[Kautzman's AP GO PO Blog] CE Week #8: “Wall Street Crisis Forces Candidates to Shift Their ...: The housing crisis has been the subject of a simmering dispute between Clinton and Obama for weeks. Obama has criticized Clinton’s proposal to freeze foreclosures for 90 days and subprime mortgage rates for five years, saying her plan would send interest rates for new and refinanced mortgages skyrocketing.
[Illinois Channel] Obama Statement on the State of the Economy: "Nowhere has the failure been more pronounced than the President’s refusal to address the plight of homeowners and Main Street businesses that lie at the heart of the turmoil right now. After months of inaction and half-measures, the President traveled to New York last week to say that there is a danger in doing too much and implied that doing nothing would be preferable. His principle policy to address the financial crunch that now threatens millions of Americans with foreclosure and thousands of business with bankruptcy is to extend his tax cuts for the wealthiest few. It’s a policy so divorced from the reality facing the American people and the American economy that it would be laughable if it weren’t so frightening.
[NDN Blog - NDN Blog] Obama's Economic Plan: Most notable about the speech following a tour of a GM assembly plant in Janesville--a venue loaded with meaning given the huge losses just announced by GM--was Obama's support for a $60 billion National Infrastructure Bank to rebuild America's infrastructure and his support for a $150 billion energy and technology investment plan to create five million jobs in the new green economy.
[Illinois Channel] Obama Announces Support for Plan to Address Housing Crisis: Instead, the Dodd-Obama bill is a responsible and fair way to help bring an end to the foreclosure crisis facing the country.
[Lottaelb's Weblog] 7/18: Obama vs. Dean: Blogging that “every additional day we stay-the-course in Iraq more American lives are lost, our standing in the world is further eroded, and our country becomes more vulnerable” Chris Dodd makes the case to Huffington Post readers for his own amendment to the DoD authorization bill that would end “the financing of combat operations, mandate a phased redeployment of combat forces from Iraq, and ensure that the administration actually carries out that redeployment.”

[Patrick J. Buchanan - Official Website - Latest activity in forum “Open Discussion”] New topic: “A Vice President, Or, A Fake Consultant Advises Obama ...: An effective strategy in the past has been to choose from the community of sitting Senators, and many of the names being considered for Vice Presidential contention today are, in fact, of that group–Jim Webb, Chris Dodd, and Hillary Clinton being three quick examples.
[Kautzman's AP GO PO Blog] CE WK #17: “Obama Takes Iowa in a Big Turnout as Clinton Falters ...: My favorite thing about this article is how it addresses the fact that the voting turnout was a record breaker and how the republican turnout was half as much as the democratic turnout. Like the article says, democrats are very against Bush and don’t want to see another eight years of presidential horror, and apparently they all realized they could do something about it.
[Bogartyag's Weblog] Americans thinking half thoughts about Iraq: He went to Motown, called for much tougher fuel economy standards and bluntly told automakers and autoworkers the truth: “For years, while foreign competitors were investing in more fuel-efficient technology for their vehicles, American automakers were spending their time investing in bigger, faster cars. Whenever an attempt was made to raise our fuel efficiency standards, the auto companies would lobby furiously against it, spending millions to prevent the very reform that could’ve saved their industry.”
