Big Tent Democrat is in court today

Obama could be facing a big problem.  It's the economy.  I know that the bad economy was like manna from heaven for Obama.  Before the economy fiasco the race between Mcain and Obama was very close.  Now Obama has a big lead because it just natural to associate the collapse of the economy to the president and his party because it happened during their watch.  Most economist and experts that have been interviewed on TV on why we are having this economic fiasco say it is rudimentary on the bad extension of credit.  Giving too much credit to those that should have never gotten it, in particular the sub prime mortgage fiasco.  This credit theory had a domino effect not just on mortgage industry but it infected the rest of the economic world according to these experts.   So why would this be a problem for Obama?  

Here is what the right is saying.

Obama is at the fountain head of the collapse.  His association with Ayers and ACORN is at the root of how the extension of the bad credit situation all got started.  This was not something that happened just 30 years ago as Obama states, but most recent up to 2002 with Obama on the board with Ayers.  As a community organizer, Obama was training leaders for ACORN and was one of their legal minds.  ACORN wanted banks to give out more housing loans to people who did not really qualified for them.  ACORN was successful in pressuring the banks to get them to do this.  ACORN also was successful in pressuring Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to start this subprime mortgage.  Long story short.  ACORN with the help of Obama was directly responsible for starting this subprime loan fiasco. They also say that the Clinton administration supported this program which was controlled at that time by Henry Cisneros.

You can see how this could spell trouble for Obama. It doesn't matter how good the facts are as long as it has an effect on those that have not decided how they will vote.    People are asking how we got into this situation.  The right is going to bring this up now very strongly in TV ads IMO. Why because, it's all about the economy which is the only thing people are worried about at the present time.

How much trouble could this be for Obama?

And since, again, it is merely faith that holds up any currency, it is the values we cherish (kindness, peace, generoisty, fairness, love), which genuinely (as in factually, and not in some hairy-fairy wishful way, but for real) control what course the economy will take.

Or watch some good movies.

Here's a list of films about the last Great Depression, so you can get all up to speed on how to deal with this one.

Call me crazy (I am)...but is the whole bloody crisis being manufactured? Have Joe and Jane blow been conned into selling all their stocks at a loss so they can be scooped up by fatcats at a discount?  Add that to the treasury throwing money at fatcat corporations...hmmm, a  very very nice score all around.

They have worked so hard to get McCain elected and are failing.

Some of them were saying they are demoralized.

And its amazing the stuff they say about OBAMA.. i mean really nasty  stuff.

In 2005, she was still cheer leading for Bush/Cheney.  When the Democrats won the 2006 elections, her support for the GOP in Washington almost vanished.  She took to bashing liberals, progressives, Democrats and the "loony left" full time.  Hillary-bashing was a favorite especially as 2008 approached.

It seems he did not finish his statement when he said he frequently reaches across the aisle.

CLEVELAND, Ohio (CNN) --  In what may be another signal that the troubled economy is forcing John McCain's campaign to play electoral map defense, Sarah Palin has scheduled a bus tour for Sunday through West Virginia, a state that's been leaning red throughout this presidential race.
