Posted at 11:36am on Jul. 7, 2008 An Updated Summary of the Scandal, Corruption and Hypocrisy by Barack Obama in Mortgages and Real Estate
By mike volpe
From the beginning of the mortgage crisis, Barack Obama's political message was a populist one. In his speeches he stood up for the little guy. Stories like this are a common occurrence during any speech on the mortgage crisis.
Felicitas and Francisco have lived the American Dream. Their story is not one of great wealth or privilege. Instead, it embodies the steady pursuit of simple dreams that has built this country from the bottom up.

Posted at 12:32pm on Jun. 29, 2008 Child Abuse and Sham Peer Review...Corruption in Pennsylvania II
By mike volpe
Bob Casey Sr. ( Democrat, Governor of Pennsylvania 1987-1995)
Jim Singer attempted to reach the governor immediately after he took office. He wrote letters however it was his son that wound up in a chance face to face meeting with the Governor himself. Singer's son was an undergraduate at Yale at the time. Singer's son was chosen to debate on behalf of the students with Governor Casey Sr. After the debate the two spoke in private. At that meeting Singer's son told the Governor some of what happened in his dad's case. He even handed the governor documents regarding perjury at his trial among many other abuses. The Governor must have been moved because within months he received this letter. It was from James Haggerty, the Governor's personal attorney.

Posted at 12:20pm on Jun. 29, 2008 Child Abuse and Sham Peer Review...Corruption in Pennsylvania I
By mike volpe
In 1986 Jim Singer was a practicing psychologist in Dubois, Pennsylvania. He maintained his own private practice and at the same time at the Maple Avenue Dubois Regional Medical Center. He treated a patient that he suspected of being abused, and as a mandated reporter he was sworn by an oath to report it. As a result, he travelled through a road of treachery and corruption in the political apparatus.

Posted at 4:28pm on Jun. 20, 2008 Dodd/Frank, Barack Obama, and Judgement
By mike volpe
Last month, Barack Obama made another in a series of speeches in Las Vegas on the mortgage crisis. Buried within the speech was a line that was of little importance at the time however should become quite relevant in the campaign given what we have recently found out.
To stabilize our housing market and to bring this crisis to an end, I’m a strong supporter of Chris Dodd and Barney Frank’s proposal to create a new FHA Housing Security Program. This will provide meaningful incentives for lenders to buy or refinance existing mortgages, and to convert them into stable 30-year fixed mortgages. This is not a windfall for borrowers – as they have to share any capital gain. It’s not a bailout for lenders or investors who gambled recklessly – as they will take losses. It asks both sides to sacrifice. It offers a responsible and fair way to help Americans who are facing foreclosure to keep their homes at rates they can afford.

By mike volpe
Medical peer review is the process by which a committee of physicians investigates the medical care rendered in order to determine whether accepted standards of care have been met.
A Medical Peer Review is meant to provide independent medical opinions conducted by an objective group of physicians and relevant medical staff that quickly resolve complex problems that hospitals, physicians and insurance carriers face. They are often used to help solve systems problems endemic to healthcare institutions and thereby reduce legal liability associated with them. The review of chart notes and other medical reports are used to help render objective written opinions.

Posted at 6:07pm on May 16, 2008 My Arguements Against Gay Marriage
By mike volpe
With the California Supreme Court ruling yesterday, the highly emotional and explosive debate over gay marriage has been unleashed again. It took me a long time to take a stand on this issue and my own position took a long evolution. In fact, I was initially inclined to agree with the other side.
In order to make a proper arguement first we must all understand the roots, hostory, and intention of marriage. First, marriage is an institution so old that it pre dates much of written history. Its purposes ranged...

Posted at 6:10pm on May 6, 2008 Mary Mitchell's Pre Emptive New Race Card
By mike volpe
In Mary Mitchell's new column, she pre emptively plays a new race card. If you are in Indiana or North Carolina and you vote for Hillary Clinton over Barack Obama, then it is strictly because you are a racist. Here is how she begins to frame the issue.
Looks like Clinton has gotten a lift from the fear-mongering, and is now slightly ahead of Obama in Indiana, and has narrowed his double-digit lead in North Carolina.

Posted at 11:19am on May 6, 2008 Mary Mitchell and Louis Farrakhan
By mike volpe
As I have pointed out earlier, Mary Mitchell has been a steadfast supporter of Barack Obama. I haven't read every article that Mitchell wrote in relation to Obama, however everytime her support is mentioned toward him it is men, it is mentioned in the context of race.
At a time when African Americans are on the cusp of watching a barrier come crashing down,
As such, the only times I have seen her attack Obama is in response to his own attacks on African American figures. She made several attacks of Obama vis a vis Reverend Jeremiah Wright, and then there is this defense of Louis Farrakhan

Posted at 10:38am on May 2, 2008 Mary Mitchell Has to Go
By mike volpe
I finished yesterday's piece by proclaiming this...
Mary Mitchell's racism is no longer in question. The only question is how
much longer she will continue to earn a living from it.
I have decided to do everything I can to make the answer to the second sentence as short as possible. Before, I delve more into that I think it is appropriate to review somethings I have already pointed out along with some things I have since learned.
