This Moment is a precious jewel. Are those just words to you, or are they action? Can you coil your energy into a rope and lasso the Moment, or is the Moment simply passing without awareness like words on a blank screen? Is the past truly gone for you? Is the future only imagination? Where does that leave you? Do you have the courage to fully trump whatever cards the Moment offers, to bring your naked essence to the table, to be raw and Present, beyond labels, beyond belief? Can you sit in the answer-less question, without fear, without attachment? Can you read words and use them? Can you listen without asking more questions? Can you ask questions without expecting an answer? Is your answer no? Is your answer yes? The Moment doesn't care. She just is. She's the answer appearing simultaneously with the question mark. She is the empty fullness of you before confusion or thought supplies its million answers. The Moment IS who you are now; you are the answer and the next question. The space between: Is that where you've been hiding?

Re: Incriminating Video: Obama & Fannie Mae Current mood: aggravated Category: News and Politics Fannie Mae CEO at meeting of Congressional Black Caucus calling Obama and the Democrats the 'Family' and 'Conscience' of Fannie Mae Watch this before it mysteriously disappears from the .... internet. .... ....

Shot in the FANNIE MAE The History of a Financial Disaster 1997 Fannie Mae is a GSE (Govt. Sponsored Entity) regulated by Congress. Fannie Mae buys mortgages from other companies. It is backed by the taxpayers for all losses, but keeps all profits. President Clinton loosens Home Loan Requirements. 1998 Banks begin making thousands of bad loans,0 down, no documentation, for 120%! (1998 – 2008). Executives at Fannie receive huge bonuses if loan targets are met. Franklin Raines and Jamie Garelick from the Clinton Administration are appointed to run Fannie Mae. 2003 President Bush proposes a new oversight committee to clean up Fannie Mae, but Democrats derail the effort. Rep. Melvyn Watt, (D-NC) Committee on Financial Institutions & Consumer Credit. stated, “I don’t see much other than weakening the bargaining power poorer families to get affordable housing.” 1999-2004 Raines earns $100 million in bonuses. Garelick earns $75 million in bonuses. In 2004, Enron collapses, congress investigates, Executives Skilling & Lay go to jail, for fraudulent bookkeeping. Congress responds with the Sorbanes-Oxley Act, more heavy regulation of corporations. 2004 An OMB investigation finds massive fraudulent bookkeeping at Fannie Mae. False numbers triggered executive bonuses every year. Congress holds no hearings, no one goes to jail, or is punished. WHY NOT? 1995-2005 Fannie Mae gives millions to Democratic causes, examples: Jesse Jackson & ACORN. Fannie Mae pays millions to 354 congressmen and senators, from both parties. Who got the most money? TOP 4 RECIPIENTS: #1 Sen. Christopher Dodd, (D-CT) Chairman of the Banking, Housing, & Urban Affairs Committee #2 Sen. Barack Obama, (D-IL) Federal Financial Management Committee #3 Sen. Chuck Schumer, (D-NY) Chairman of the Finance Committee #4 Rep. Barney Frank, (D-MA) Chairman of the House Financial Services Committee 2005 Franklin Raines & top execs are forced to resign from Fannie Mae. They do not go to jail. There is no media “perp. walk.” They keeps all of their bonuses They finally pay $31.4 million in civil fines. 2005 #325 Sen. John McCain, (R-AZ) Armed Services, & Commerce, Science, & Transportation “If Congress does not act, American taxpayers will continue to be exposed to the enormous risk that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac pose to the housing market, the overall financial system, and the economy as a whole.” 2005 None of the top 4 recipients support the legislation. The reform act is blocked by Democrats, never even making it out of committee. None of the politicians return any of the money, tainted by fraud. 2008 Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac go bankrupt and the govt. takes them over completely. Lehman Brothers, goes bankrupt from investing in bad mortgages. AIG get $85 million in loan guarantees, after insuring bad loans & projects. Taxpayers will ultimately pay BILLIONS. 2008 Franklin Raines is now an advisor to the Obama Campaign which wants the govt. to take over more of the economy. Did government involvement in the mortgage market work out? How will even MORE government involvement make it better? Do you want to be Sweden? McCain favors revising regulations & loan standards, selling off Fannie & Freddie.

This is a true story and the author, Rick Mathes, is a well-known leader in prison ministry. The man who walks with God always gets to his destination. If you have a pulse you have a purpose. The Muslim religion is the fastest growing religion per capita in the United States , especially in the minority races!!! Last month I attended my annual training session that's required for maintaining my state prison security clearance. During the training session there was a presentation by three speakers representing the Roman Catholic, Protestant and Muslim faiths, who explained each of their beliefs. I was particularly interested in what the Islamic Imam had to say. The Imam gave a great presentation of the basics of Islam, complete with a video. After the presentations, time was provided for questions and answers. When it was my turn, I directed my question to the Imam and asked: 'Please, correct me if I'm wrong, but I understand that most Imams and clerics of Islam have declared a holy jihad [Holy war] against the infidels of the world and, that by killing an infidel, (which is a command to all Muslims) they are assured of a place in heaven. If that's the case, can you give me the definition of an infidel?' There was no disagreement with my statements and, without hesitation, he replied, 'Non-believers!' I responded, 'So, let me make sure I have this straight. All followers of Allah have been commanded to kill everyone who is not of your faith so they can have a place in heaven. Is that correct?' The expression on his face changed from one of authority and command to that of a little boy who had just been caught with his hand in the cookie jar.' He sheepishly replied, 'Yes.' I then stated, 'Well, sir, I have a real problem trying to imagine Pope John Paul commanding all Catholics to kill those of your faith or Dr. Stanley ordering all Protestants to do the same in order to guarantee them a place in heaven!' The Imam was speechless! I continued, 'I also have a problem with being your friend when you and your brother clerics are telling your followers to kill me! Let me ask you a question: Would you rather have your Allah, who tells you to kill me in order for you to go to heaven, or my Jesus who tells me to love you because I am going to heaven and He wants you to be there with me?' You could have heard a pin drop as the Imam hung his head in shame. Needless to say, the organizers and/or promoters of the Diversification' training seminar were not happy with Rick's way of dealing with the Islamic Imam , and exposing the truth about the Muslims' beliefs. In twenty years there will be enough Muslim voters in the U.S. to elect the President! I think everyone in the U.S. should be required to read this, but with ACLU, there is no way this will be widely publicized, unless each of us send it on! This is your chance to make a difference...

My name is Sarah I am but three, My eyes are swollen I cannot see, I must be stupid, I must be bad, What else could have made My daddy so mad? I wish I were better, I wish I weren't ugly, Then maybe my Mommy Would still want to hug me. I can't speak at all, I can't do a wrong Or else I'm locked up All the day long. When I awake I'm all alone The house is dark My folks aren't home. When my Mommy does come I'll try and be nice, So maybe I'll get just One whipping tonight. Don't make a sound! I just heard a car My daddy is back From Charlie's Bar. I hear him curse My name he calls I press myself Against the wall. I try and hide From his evil eyes I'm so afraid now I'm starting to cry. He finds me weeping He shouts ugly words, He says its my fault That he suffers at work. He slaps me and hits me And yells at me more, I finally get free And I run for the door. He's already locked it And I start to bawl, He takes me and throws me Against the hard wall. I fall to the floor With my bones nearly broken, And my daddy continues With more bad words spoken. "I'm sorry!" I scream But its now much to late His face has been twisted Into unimaginable hate. The hurt and the pain Again and again Oh please God, have mercy! Oh please let it end! And he finally stops And heads for the door, While I lay there motionless Sprawled on the floor. My name is Sarah And I am but three, Tonight my daddy Murdered me. There are thousands of kids out there just like Sarah. And you can help. It sickens me to my soul, and if you just read this and don't pass it on I pray for your forgiveness, because you would have to be one heartless person to not be affected by this email. And because you are affected, do something about it!! So all I am asking you to do is take some time to send this on and acknowledge that this stuff does happen, and that people like her dad do live in our society , and pray for child abuse to wither out and die, but also pray for the safety of our youth. Please pass this poem on as a Blue Ribbon Against Child Abuse because, as crazy as it might sound, it might just indirectly change a life.

As your doctor starts to perform open heart surgery he tells you he has been doing this for 143 days. As your plane pulls away from the terminal the pilot comes on the public address system and announces he has been flying 747's for 143 days. Would you hire a lawyer to defend you 143 days out of law school? Interesting when it's put into perspective, isn't it? Just think how great a professional of any kind you could be with only 143 days of experience! People want change so badly? . . . Maybe we should lower the experience requirement for doctors, lawyers, airline pilots, etc. This would cause some change! Obama's 143 Days of Senate Experience - Just how much Senate experience does Barack Obama have in terms of actual work days? Not much. From the time Barack Obama was sworn in as a United States Senator, to the time he announced he was forming a Presidential exploratory Committee, he logged 143 days of experience in the Senate. That's how many days the Senate was actually in session and working. *The one single Senate committee that he headed....never even met once.* After 143 days of work experience, Obama believed he was ready to be Commander In Chief, Leader of the Free World. The audacity of hope. Our children spend more time in pre-school getting ready for kindergarten.

Think of me as your friend, I pray, and call me by a loving name; I will not care what others say, if only you remain the same. I will not care how dark the night, I will not care how wild the storm, Your love will fill my heart with light and shield me close and keep me warm. Think of me as your friend, I pray, for else my life is little worth; so shall your memory light my way, although we meet no more on earth. For while I know your faith secure, I ask no happier fate to see: thus to be loved by one so pure is honor rich enough for me.
