Now Obama wants to make nice with American Business.

Screw this compromise BS that he is talking about since from the time he was elected to November 2nd, he has been arrogant enough to ignore the opposition and the public against his liberal agenda. Put the screws to him.

- One day after a "shellacking" in the congressional election, President Obama acknowledged Wednesday that he needs to improve his relations with business.

"As I reflect on what's happened over the last two years, it's one of the things that I think has not been managed by me as well as it needed to be," Obama said at a news conference following the Republican victory that put the House in GOP hands.

Freddie Mac posts $4.1B loss for Q3. Makes for a good first target for the GOP.

If the GOP wants to start off with something big, Freddie and Fannie are both good choices.

Government-controlled mortgage buyer Freddie Mac managed a narrower loss of $4.1 billion for the third quarter and asked for an additional $100 million in federal aid -- far less than the $1.8 billion it sought in the second quarter.

But while the slimmer loss, and recent glimmerings such as a slowing rate of new soured loans coming onto Freddie's books, may be positive signs, they don't mean the end of the company's travails, experts say.

"The fact that losses are better is good. But it's not necessarily a forecast for future earnings growth," said Anthony Sanders, a professor of real estate finance at George Mason University in Fairfax, Va. "The problem still remains that we are faced with a deteriorating housing market."

Will Allen West and Tim Scott be allowed in the Congressional Black Caucus?

Just asking or the better question would be if these two would grace the CBC with their membership.

Bill Maher stands by his Mohammed remarks, is a proud Westerner.

Since he is on the left he will not get any heat for it.

And when I say Westerner, I mean someone who believes in the values that Western people believe in that a lot of the Muslim world does not. Like separation of church and state. Like equality of the sexes. Like respect for minorities, free elections, free speech, freedom to gather. These things are not just different from cultures that don’t have them. … It’s better. … I would like to keep those values here.
