Don’t Dare Question Barney Frank
By AmericanElephant on October 6, 2008
Don’t you dare question Barney Frank or his connection to Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and the Community Reinvestment Act or how that all caused the current economic crisis. Don’t question Barack Obama who received over $126,000 from Fannie and Freddie over three years, or Chris Dodd who got even more. Those are not valid questions [...]

Obama Abetted Wall Street Corruption
By AmericanElephant on October 6, 2008
Obama could have tried to lead, but he didn’t. He does what he always does… nothing. And he was paid for his silence. As were Chris Dodd and others.

Serious, Serious Times
By AmericanElephant on September 27, 2008
In order to understand how to get out of this mess, we have to understand how we got here. The Democrats are still trying to funnel money into bogus partisan programs (ACORN) instead of trying to fix the problem and protect the American taxpayer. This is not George Bush’s fault. This is not John McCain fault. Both of them tried to fix this mess before it blew up. But the Democrats were too busy being paid off by Fannie and Freddie, supporting their liberal friends, and refusing to be accountable for their disastrous approach.

What Caused Our Economic Crisis?
By AmericanElephant on September 26, 2008
This is the BEST video I have seen about the crisis. The most accurate, the most detailed, and backed up by facts. Its a little shy of 10 minutes, but is worth watching in its entirety. Watch it, pass it on to your friends. Link to it. Embed it. Do whatever you want. The media won’t tell you the whole truth. But here it is.

Fox does the media’s work for them.
By AmericanElephant on September 25, 2008
Brit Hume’s program had a good summary of how we got into this mess and the voices who tried to avoid it. President Bush, John McCain, Secretary Snow, Greenspan all tried to get Fannie and Freddie under control and warmed that failing to do so could lead to a broad economic crisis. Sound familiar?

Change, or more of the same?
By AmericanElephant on September 25, 2008
Jim Johnson, failed CEO of Fannie Mae, whose very policies and “leadership” helped create the current mortgage crisis, and got his own sweetheart deal from CountryWide, is STILL advising Barack Obama.

Putting Country First.
By AmericanElephant on September 24, 2008
So the John McCain is suspending campaign activities for the moment so he can do his job as United States Senator and work on the current financial crisis and bailout vote. I saw this on Drudge and didn’t really believe it… then I saw it at Michelle Malkin’s site and the AP, and it kind of sunk in. McCain is also asking the debate commission to postpone Friday’s debate so they can focus on the bailout bill and have a “leadership” meeting (including President Bush and Barack Obama) to try and work out the details and a path forward.

Racist Smears Continue
By AmericanElephant on September 19, 2008
We said earlier the “talking point of the week” for Obama surrogates was to paint anyone who disagrees with “The One” as racist. Apparently Time Magazine is part of the fold, and their “lead political reporter” is now on the attack over McCain’s ad linking Franklin Raines of Fannie Mae to Barack Obama.
