VIDEO: Burning Down the House

In case you’ve missed all of the chatter over the Burning Down the House Video, here is a summary.

You Tube and Warner Music Group today pulled a highly popular video that very succinctly and clearly spelled out the roots of the current economic crisis.

The 9:59 video entitled “Burning Down the House: What Caused Our Economic Crisis” played four different songs under a fast moving video sequence that very clearly tied Democrats like Chris Dodd, Franklin Raines, Jim Johnson and Barack Obama to policies and corruption related to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. It cleverly showed how the “affordable mortgage” programs sent an economic virus through the entire economy and showed Republican efforts to intervene and regulate being blocked.

For Obama and all congressional Democrats, it was a devastating video.

The video had almost a perfect viewer rating and had been viewed some 1.2 million times according to the You Tube counters. Sometime around 3:45 EDT the video disappeared with the banner saying “This Video is no longer available due to a copywrite claim by Warner Music Group.”

This video, for the moment, is back on YouTube. Enjoy!

No matter how much this factual stuff is brought to the attention of the liberals, they refuse to listen, believe, acknowledge or talk about any of it. They worship Obama and the ground he walks on. He is their Messiah. He can do no wrong. It is right there in front of them. In black and white but yet they lie continually about the truth. FOX is the only network that brings these facts up. No one else will talk about it. Just like in the movie “A Few Good Men”…”YOU CAN’T HANDLE THE TRUTH!” That is the way it is with the liberals. They can not handle the truth.

I agree with Lil Taz. I have tried to explain the facts to some of my liberal frends and they are mesmerized by this slick talking snake. It’s as though they belong to a cult. This country is in trouble and they wont admit it. Their savior is coming. I am fearful of the outcome.

I don’t believe any of this. I cant believe that people actually believe all that is shown on TV and You Tube. These are not facts, its the presentation of information in the way some want to see it.

Natalie:

So you don’t believe this? Check out public governmental records as candidate McCain suggested. None of this is false! People won’t take the time to do their own investigation of candidates. They just believe, blindly, what the candidate says. Not wise, not wise at all.

It’s about time someone has been able to point out the truth in a clear though provoking way. At the same time, people are so enamored with Obama, they will turn a blind eye to all of it. This has been the most frightening part of his campaign. No one seems to care about anything negative that pertains to him. In their eyes, he can do no wrong. I have had conversations with people over the debates and am astonished when they simply ‘block out’ the parts they don’t want to hear. I have doubts they were actually listening to the same debate as myself. Absolutely frightening!

Please slow down the video. Sometimes there is not enough time to read the contents.

As the video stated, these are facts and it should be published in newspapers, Bill Boards,the internet, Bill Boards to make the public and everyone be aware and that these are truly substantiated FACTS AND NOT JUST POLICTICAL STRATEFIES.

Republicans complain about Michael Moore’s over edited, out of context media crap…now they have a pile of their own. With reputable sources like Wikipedia and YouTube, this video is almost as educational as Fox News…I mean a Brittany Spears video…either/or really.

Quit letting the media tell you what to think.

The mortgage companies should get rid of allthe ARM’s. All the credit card companies should drop the interest rate on the cards like what Sears did in the late 70’s. It would make people want to shop again. The governments {county, state, and federal} could recruit people to work in training programs.

Only a fool would vote for a Muslem to be President of this USA. Everyone knows their book tells them to destroy us. Our consolation is that we ,as Christians know, God is still on the throne.If we all would do as 2 Chronicles 7:14 tells us to do, God would solve this problem!! So , Let`s do it!!!

Jim said,  

It makes me very angry that John McCain won’t bring out these facts when debating with Obama and let all of America know about this man. We are facing a very dangerous time if Obama gets elected President and a lot of people don’t seem to care. May God please bless the voter when they get to the polls and be with them to make the right decision as they cast their votes.

Just wanted to let some of those who have commented that if they wish to check this out they can go to the Federal Register. I worked in a savings and loan association from 1970 to 1996. When CRA was first enacted, we called it the crap act. At least the original did not force financial institutions to grant loans to individuals not capable of repaying them. That took until the Clinton administration with the help of Jesse Jackson and the Rainbow/Push coalition. What this does not mention is the actions of ACORN. Those who think this is conservative bull should get their heads out of the sand. This country is headed to a socialist state where income restribution is the law of the land. What I love about liberals is that anyone who does not drink the liberal koolaid is stupid. Grow up and do your own research.

This is such a well organized and careful manipulation of detailed minutia and facts. Slow it down people, read the references and their associated texts…make your own conclusions. Interesting how people forget to recognize that, regardless of party politics, mudslinging and other worthless political crap that muddies crystal clear issues of government reform and financial responsibility, people over the past 15-20 years have become more greedy and obsessed with material showmanship. And as an aside, it would be nice if republicans would remember the first amendment and its provision for the separation of church and state. Leave religion out of things…nowhere has it been written that a Muslim cannot be president and in no way is our country indelibly linked to the christian notion of god. republicans may think that sweet talking has clouded liberal minds, but religion has permanently ruined the capability of rational thought among too many conservatives. It is such a shame.

This was almost a great video. I liked your message and thought I found a new friend right up until you made McCain look like a financial genius. He supported the bailout bill right alongside Obama. I don’t care what he did “yesterday” - what is he doing today? McCain is only minutely different from Obama. Think about who has been consistent in his views about the economy and the markets. It’s not McCain - Here’s a hint…. http://www.bobbarr2008.com/about/

Hey jaw, if the free market works so well, why is it the number of people without health insurance is increasing instead of decreasing? and why exactly is it the bail out plan most republicans support is a socialist plan. socialism is dead, we’re headed towards corporatism, not socialism.

It’s a shame that ‘We the People’ cannot come together and see that politics is politics and it doesn’t have to be that the Conservatives or the Liberals are the bad guys. We the People need to take back our Country and our Government…remember they work for US! The new groundswell (which is the only way we can make change) from the grass roots - Us - can make the changes we need so that every person in this country is taken care of in a humane way and that the few at the top will not get all the goods (money) We need to come together and make sure our leaders take care of us….period. The directive must come from us as a united front…remember, divided we fail. Whichever candidate becomes President we must come togteher and have our voices heard..and not just passing on emails.

IT’S OBVIOUS BY READING SOME OF THE ABOVE COMMENTS, THAT THE GOODY TWO SHOES, (LIBERALS) DON’T GET IT, DO NOT WANT TO GET AND WILL NEVER GET IT REGARDLESS OF HOW MUCH YOU GIVE THEM THAT COMES FROM THE HARD WORKING POEPLE. AMERICANS, WHO TAKE RISK WITH THEIR OWN EARNINGS.

FREE LOADERS IS WHAT THEY ARE.

I use to believe this but after doing my own research and reading as much as i could i have decided to drop my republican ties. I’m embarrassed to even say i was a republican. I encourage everyone to do your own research and don’t believe things like this just because it’s out there. At this point i’ve decided not to vote. In fact i’m fortunate enough to be able to leave the country and take my money with me, the money i made thanks to the republican. Costa rica here i come.

You know i’m a republican and i’m familiar with these fact and who ever made this had an agenda. I’m embarrassed to know that my political party let’s this kind of skewed propaganda exists. People do you’re own research and stay away from crap like this. The things is the democratic can take this same subject and spin it to make us republicans look bad. The bottom line is the consumer are to blame plain and simple. Don’t take on more than you can handle and know what you’re getting into before you buy.

Liberals say they are voting for change and think Obama is good for the economy. Well… you give them the facts and they turn their heads and call you a racist.I really don’t think most of them know who or what they are voting for. It’s a shame and I feel sorry for people that can be led astray so easily by someone they don’t even know.

Yes it’s such a shsme. What’s happened to this Country is devistating. But there are Democrats and Republican’s in the Senate & congress.They are all responsible for this disaster. They all voted. 4 more years of Bush? No Thank you! A Vice President Sarah Palin when McCain kicks the bucket? Ugh! No way. I would have supported McCain until he put her on the ticket. No way is she ready to be President!!! We need change and someone who will remember what he said today tomorrow.!
