There is no link here I just have a beef and thought I'd throw it out for the lefties who love to tell us how smart their candidates are and how stupid everyone who thinks America is better than other countries are.
Last night Barak Hussein Obama (his father was a kenyan didn't ya know?) said that FDR bought up failing mortgages and made a profit during the Great Depression. I screamed at the screen "What are you talking about Harvard/Columbia boy? What the Hell did the Joads have to go on the road for? Foreclosure!"
Nobody has called him on it. I see it nowhere. Bush I actually did make a profit in the savings and loan crisis by hanging on to properties acquired in bankruptcy until the market turned (a lot of good it did him as Clinton won). But FDR never had the feds buy up private mortgages.
JCC, Lietzy, CRH, J and Dave Slattery. I say this is a fantasy on a level greater than Reagan ever made. A falsehood and a blunder far greater than GWB or Quayle ever made. And there is utter silence about it. So what about it all you "We are so intellectual and you people are idiots" voters. Prove me wrong.
I have not Googled thoroughly. No one as far as I can tell in the VRWC has pointed this out. The One just made up a Roosevelt program and declared it a profitable success. Is he just allowed to talk out of his deified posterior? Or is it a whopper that reveals a miseducated mind? The same mind that declared 57 states (Heinz ketchup); the Americans liberated Auschwitz and Ayers is just a guy in the neighborhood.
An I wrong or did Roosevelt profitably buy up mortages? I remember nothing of the sort being done in the Great Depression. Either prove me wrong or admit your man has made a blunder and told a whopper.
I have not read "A People's History of the United States" in a while but even that socialist idiot did not write this if I recall correctly.

I believe he was referring to this:

The program did turn a small profit, and bought mortgages from the banks (in essence, buying houses).
Hope that helps.
OUCH. JJV, can you feel the burn?
I presume that your next post, JJV, will be dedicated to calling out McCain on all the lies that he pulls out of his posterior. Hope that your fact checking is a little better on that one.
Well, it does not seem to be wholly accurate but close enough for Government work. I did place it as a question.
However, the Washington Post derided McCain for calling D-Day the greatest invasion in the history of the world, going for Barbarossa and the Russian counteroffensive.
McCain is a Navy guy. He meant sea-borne invasion and further, D-Day was a bigger and more complicated undertaking than sending your tanks across a border. If the Post can call that a gaffe, I'm sticking with this one.
I can't believe they jumped on McCain for the D-Day thing. I think his writing off Pakistan as a failed state was a much bigger leap. Things weren't great, but it wasn't on the Somalia/Afghanistan scale.

Sometimes when an entire post is discredited the author sees fit to post an update.
Barbarossa was certainly "bigger" and probably more "complicated" (owing to scale) than D-Day but it's an odd thing to call out, as JCC observes.
