and McCain, the Maverick voted yes.

Hi,
What's your point? Are you referring to the latest bailout attempt? If so, why aren't you pointing out that Obama supports it as well.

I guess my real question is why did you post that? Do you honestly think someone will change their vote based on your one-liner? Or do you just want to keep ripping on the candidate you oppose. If so, have at it. Whatever works for you.

I like to aggravate you.

I oppose both candidates.

I'm a conservative republican and very disappointed in the republican party. They have lost their moral compass. The "lesser of 2 evils" is no better.

I would expect Obama to vote for every social program possible...that's a given. There is no point in even bothering in discussing his views..they are liberal and socialist.

McCain should've nailed Obama on this package and he refused. Straight talk? Right.

I will vote for the candidate nominated by Constitution party.

Hi,

Do you have a job or other source of entertainment? Just curious. Can't imagine posting stuff like that just to "aggravate" someone I don't even know.

Weird. But like I said, whatever works.

Nope, unemployed.

I was hoping you might help me out with my $39,346 real estate tax bill.

Please?

Nice find Gus. Though it is edited for effect, would be helpful to know if it is all the same hearing, dates, etc., but truth is there between it all isn't it?

Way to go, G-man. Never a good idea to piss off the Administrator.

Geeze... you send email in all caps, too?

I don't think James and Gregory are related, but Colbert had fun with G. Meeks last year, funny stuff.

Whatever.

There's blame to go all around for the sub-prime mess.

Why does this video include shots of a number of Wikipedia Web pages that can literally be edited by anyone (including the producers of this YouTube video) at any time?

Also, why is the video chock full of quick cuts that prevent a person from digesting the text on the Web pages -- all while the video gets helped along by numerous text interjections of five words or fewer? Most viewers are not going to bother clicking the Pause button 20-plus times, and the producers of the video know it.

Plus, it is riddled with misspellings. "To Few"?

Sorry Gus, that “Show” should have been titled Kevin Baconisms inspired by Michael Moore.

Either the Obama staff thought no one would ever notice or weren't using their heads when putting together it's team

You want to go there, really? Okay,let’s talk about putting together a team, shall we?

Mark Buse, McCain’s chief of staff for his Senate office, is a Freddie Mac ex. He and his former lobbying dig, ML Strategies, registered to lobby for Freddie in July 2003 and received $460,000 until 2004.

Aquiles Suarez, McCain campaign economic adviser in a July 2007 McCain press release, was formerly the director of government and industry relations for Fannie Mae. Suarez oversaw the Fannie's $47 million lobbying campaign from 2003 to 2006.

Lobbying firm of Charlie Black, one of McCain's top aides, made at least $820,000 working for Freddie Mac from 1999 to 2004.

The lobbying firm selected to begin planning a McCain presidential transition earned $260,000 this year representing Freddie Mac. Timmons & Co., whose founder William Timmons Sr., was registered to lobby for Freddie Mac from 2000 through Sept. 2008. Timmons is listed as a lobbyist for Freddie on the company's midyear financial-disclosure form.

Wayne Berman, the McCain campaign's vice-chair and its congressional liaison, John Green, made $1.14 million working on behalf of Fannie Mae for lobbying firm Ogilvy Government Relations. Green made an additional $180,000 from Freddie Mac.

Arther B. Culvahouse Jr., the VP vetter who helped John McCain select Sarah Palin, earned $80,000 from Fannie Mae in 2003 and 2004, while working for lobbying and law firm O'Melveny & Myers LLP.

Rick Davis, McCain campaign manager was head of the Homeownership Alliance, a lobbying association that included Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, real estate agents, homebuilders, and non-profits, which opposed congressional attempts at regulation of Fannie and Freddie. As president of the Homeownership Alliance, Mr. Davis received nearly $2 million from 2000 to the end of 2005. After the Homeownership Alliance was dissolved, Mr. Davis’ firm was paid a retainer of $15,000 a month from the end of 2005 until August 2008. Mr. Davis took a leave from Davis & Manafort for the presidential campaign, but as a partner and equity-holder continues to benefit from its income.

In addition, at least 20 McCain fundraisers have lobbied for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, pocketing at least $12.3 million over the last nine years.

I guess that is a Maverick approach, right?
