We pointed to the connections between Chicago’s Crown family, billionaire industrialists and constant Obama campaign […]

Memeorandum.com is linking to the numerous stories on today’s Washington Post article noted by TexasDarlin in “Obamas Got Discounted Home Loan.” Many — from Politico’s Ben Smith to Salon — are downplaying the report as “well short” of the Countrywide story.

Grrrrrrrrrrrroooooowwwwwwwwwl. Machinists Union President Tom Buffenbarger, introducing Clinton, talks about Maytag. He talks the betrayal by Barack Obama, who only gave those Maytag workers a speech. WORDS. Baloney.
