Maybe you missed it when on ABC Bill Clinton pointed out that Dems had been ignoring Republican calls for reform, along with his, for years and years. There is plenty of CSPAN video with Reps warning of a coming crisis, and the Dems denying the hell out of it and calling the Reps calls for reform a "lynch party". Denying a crisis and playing the race card simultaneously, thats your Dems hard at work. Waters and Meeks were 2 of the worst, along with Barney Fife, uh, I mean Frank.

well let's see the Republicans controlled Congress from 1994 to 2006 & we had 8 years of Dubya/Cheney. They held the majority so why didn't they do anything about this in all of that time?

I have worked with ACORN in Miami. They are a non profit who bought distressed properties & rehabbed them. The buyers for these properties were low to moderate income and had to attend many classes on homeownership, credit counseling and mainting a home before they were referred to a lender for a mortgage.

It seems the rightwing fanatics are making much ado about nothing since Obama never ran ACORN.
Next!

This is llike the last days of the Hillary Clinton campaign when it was obvious that a desparate move was needed to avert a loss. Thats how you know you are on a roll against them.

That Keating?
