REQUEST FOR URGENT CONFIDENTIAL BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP
From: Minister of the Treasury Paulson
Subject: REQUEST FOR URGENT CONFIDENTIAL BUSINESS RELATIONSHIPDear American:
I need to ask you to support an urgent secret business relationship
with a transfer of funds of great magnitude.I am Ministry of the Treasury of the Republic of America. My country
has had crisis that has caused the need for large transfer of funds of
800 billion dollars US. If you would assist me in this transfer, it
would be most profitable to you.I am working with Mr. Phil Gram, lobbyist for UBS, who will be my
replacement as Ministry of the Treasury in January. As a Senator, you
may know him as the leader of the American banking deregulation
movement in the 1990s. This transactin is 100% safe.This is a matter of great urgency. We need a blank check. We need
the funds as quickly as possible. We cannot directly transfer these
funds in the names of our close friends because we are constantly
under surveillance. My family lawyer advised me that I should look for
a reliable and trustworthy person who will act as a next of kin so the
funds can be transferred.Please reply with all of your bank account, IRA and college fund
account numbers and those of your children and grandchildren to
wallstreetbailout@treasury.gov so that we may transfer your commission
for this transaction. After I receive that information, I will
respond with detailed information about safeguards that will be used
to protect the funds.Yours Faithfully
Minister of Treasury Paulson
Doesn’t it really put things into perspective when you look at it from another view? What if this was how they had proposed the massive bailout?

What about the Dems? says
Typical. Gramm had very little to do with this. Stop taking everything Obama says at face value and do a little research yourself. Most of the problem can be traced directly to the democratic side of the aisle. It was their idea to all but force financial institutions to make loans to people who never should have gotten a mortgage. This was done so that they could tout how they made mortgages “affordable” for all. Government caused most of the problem…now they expect us to believe that they are the answer.
