Mayor Lou Barletta: Comedian
The video, posted above, is pure comedy. Titled, “Lou Barletta Speaks About the Credit Crisis,” it was produced by Mayor Lou Barletta and posted to his YouTube page. He mentions a few things in the short video that made me laugh. Namely the part where he explains that, “All types of loans are more expensive and difficult to obtain.”
I find this funny because Lou Barletta has yet to explain how and why he was able to get a $65,000 loan, in 2002, that he has yet to make a payment on. Not even an interest payment. The Barletta campaign has offered three different explanations on what the loan was. They first said that there was no loan, it never existed. Then they said that it was a “clerical error”. Finally, they said that it was a personal loan made to Mayor Lou Barletta. The three of these explanations came out over an eleven day period.
Still, however, based on paperwork filed by the Barletta Campaign, no payments have ever been made to pay down this loan, which was originally taken out to help cover costs of Lou Barletta’s failed 2002 Congressional bid. Additionally, based on the latest paperwork, it appears that the initial $65,000 that the Barletta Campaign originally reported may actually be worth over $100,000. And, again, Lou Barletta has yet to make a single payment on this loan.
Based on all of this, I find it amusing that Mayor Lou Barletta would make a video in which he talks about how “loans are getting more expensive and harder to obtain.” Obviously, this is not the case for Lou Barletta. For some reason, which is still unknown, he is able to obtain loans from banks for free. He doesn’t even have to pay back the principle. Must be nice, Mayor Lou.
This just further demonstrates just how out of touch (and possibly corrupt) Mayor Lou Barletta really is. As a local mayor, he’s already involved in shady loans and campaign financing. Can you imagine what this creep will be doing, and how he will be abusing his power, if he were actually elected to Congress? For the sake of everyone, Mayor Lou Barletta must be kept out of Congress.

Rancid meat? That’s a cute way of attempting to try and just pretend that this loan, which is potentially illegal, doesn’t exist. Also, it’s not OLD news, it’s ONGOING news. As in, there are still all sorts of very real questions regarding it, in addition to an open FEC complaint.
And as for commenting on all of Barletta’s YouTube rants, I’ll get around to it. Now, be a good boy, take your Riddelin for your ADD, and just be patient. I’ll have something up for you real soon, Lou. Er, I mean “NEPA Conservative”.
