Thomas Sowell in this article writes a great analysis and illustration of the election. It does seem that Americans are being hoodwinked by Obama, the Democrats and the mainstream media. It is amazing that the Democrats, whose hands are all over Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, whose policies many have said have propped up the companies, escape this scandal with virtually no culpability. It's further amazing that a man like Obama, the second highest funded politician by Fannie Mae, with its CEO as a policy advisor, who advocates similar policies as those that got us into this crisis in the first place, benefits. It speaks to the lack of political capital of the Bush Administration and the inability of the GOP to communicate to the public about who Obama really is.
