But wait — more positive news! The secretary of Housing and Urban Development is proposing that lenders supply an easy-to-read summary with mortgage agreements. “You know, these mortgages can be pretty frightening to people. I mean, there’s a lot of tiny print,” the president said.

Well, OK, not a pretty picture. As I've been saying for a while now, we need someone who can redress the economy, or else we're going down the tubes. I still maintain that Mitt was the best of the bunch at giving it a shot. So, OK, no one else likes him as a Pres candidate -- how about then as VP, with a mandate to be the economy czar for McCain? Maybe this will work better than the current mess with W.
For Mitt to become Veep, he'd have to be on Barack's ticket and somehow I don't see that happening.
Even if Barack gets past Hillary's kitchen sink (a big if), what makes you think he'll be in good enough shape after she's done with him? I don't think McCain is a very good campaigner, so my hope is that Hillobama are gonna bring each other down, leaving McCain to pick up the pieces -- pretty much the only realistic path to victory in the Fall election for him.
I don't think Obabababanana is going much further than tonight. The tv news I never see went full-on with Jeremiah (hallalujah) Wright (wrong). He's toast.
All he has to do is distance himself from those statements convincingly. Surely, denouncing them ought to do the trick.

we'll see, but it seems a joint ticket in is the works.
Yep -- I got to watch tv for once, since this story was much more gripping when you look at the videos than when you read about it. This guy Jeremiah Wright is some spectacle -- you gotta see it to believe it.
Now, about Obama: he did what he had to do, best he could (and way too late), to distance himself from the crazy uncle in the attic. But this came at a price: he stated flat out that he was not in the pews when the guy was spewing all that stuff. Now Hillary has several weeks to pore over all those DVDs (they are for sale at the pastor's web site -- he makes a fair buck on his sermons, we all need some extra cash, don't we?) and play a game of gotcha with Obama. If she catches him with his pants on fire (and, she'll wait till the weekend just before Penn), he's toast. Or is he?
A joint ticket of the Red Queen and the Green Manchurian Candidate?
God Blesses Amerikkka, alright.
Here is an overview of the current pinko crackup over Obama.
On the pinko crackup, I must say it's reasonable. I'm in San Antonio now and I saw the jeremiad on tv with a good sized group of family. They're all democrats but were talking normal about this. By that I mean asking the same questions an adversary would ask:
If Obama's been tight with this idiot for 20 years how is it he never objected to his words before? Is it possible (though obviously unlikely) that Wright has gotten more extreme only lately? Are there records of his sermons over the past 20 years we can see? How convenient that Barry and Michelle were home tendingto their spawn the day of the 9/11 comments. And it was after that that they baptized their kid with this nut, or shortly before? Are they part of a church community that believe similar foolishness to Wright?
And so on. As the guy in your article here says, maybe the story will blow over next week. I doubt that seriously. Hillary's minions have been scouring. For reason this comes out in the press only now, but now that it's in, I think this baby has legs.
And if so, Obama is a goner.
Pepe, I read Obama in the HuffPost 'distancing'. It is absolutely not convincing. He leaves open a lot of doors no decent attorney would leave open. I bet he has to because of stuff he knows to be on the record.
Too bad. They'll catch him anyway and make plenty of hay about what he has said. It was insufficient.
And I must say I am glad.
