…and, another thing:
Only two (2) Senators DID NOT vote for/against G-L-B.
Fitzgerald (D-IL) who voted “Present”; and
McCain (R-AZ) who was out of town and did not vote.

…principal economic advisor…

Well, if it isn’t Raines, who is it?
Jim Leach, who co-wrote Gramm-Leach-Bliley, and is Chmn of Repubs for Obama?
Robert Rubin, who promoted G-L-B and encouraged Clinton to sign it?
And, just who were all of those suits back-stopping “The One” the other day when he was not telling us what his economic plan his?

“…so let’s give Peter props for looking at the McCain ad and partially revising his opinion.”

Agreed.

Yeah, they’ve been especially bad on the “Terror in the Skies” issue, etc. And they still haven’t corrected the error about Obama’s promise not to run for a national office in 2008.

I don’t know about the others, but Snopes didn’t become biased a mere few weeks ago. They’ve had a problem for years.

This election is getting really partisan and passionate, so let’s give Peter props for looking at the McCain ad and partially revising his opinion.

So now we have that paragon of unhinged Leftism (HuffPo) pointing the finger at their own Messiah and Pritzker:

What will the nutroots say now? I’m thinking not much from here on out, if they have any sense left.

On the topic of veracity:

Peter, let me ask you a question: Was Obama telling the truth when he said he had never heard Reverend Wright make those hateful and bigoted statements?

A simple yes or no will suffice.

Nowhere in the ad does he call Raines a top economic adviser, in fact almost the entire ad is comprised of quotes from news sources.

Ugh. Yes, you’re right. Fuck if I know why I thought it explicitly stated that, although it is very much implied that Frank Raines is his only and principle economic advisor. Anyhow, my bad. I did miss something obviously. Although I could swear I read something Tucker Bounds or one of the other JM spokesmen saying specifically that Raines was a “top economic advisor.”

Alrighty then. And let that be a lesson to you.

Ahem.
