What the fuck is the deal with portraying the subprime mortgage buyers as fat, chain smoking people with lots of kids??? How is it that they are depicted as IRRESPONSIBLE when every chain in this cycle was irresponsible? How about the lenders, real estate people, hedge fund manager- they were all responsible as well? How about the people who decided not to pay their mortgages when they say the housing prices drop? There is lots of irresponsibility to go around. And I hate it when reporters tell the story of the credit crisis and blame it on the people who were the most powerless in the situation.

Because if Barack Obama succeeds, the American way of life fails.

Join the RedState Army of Activists and lets work to make sure Barack Obama fails at destroying liberty and freedom.

—————————-
I want Barack Obama to fail and I want to help ensure he does.

If Barack Obama is successful in implementing his stated agenda, America will fail and the American dream will die for millions.

We already know Barack Obama's economic policy will fail, but it will hurt millions of hard working Americans.

I will join the RedState Army of Activists and fight for freedom
by working to undermine Barack Obama's agenda and helping him fail.

the link is a petition to sign up to “help Obama fail”
