Fannie Mae CEO to Democrats: You Are Our 'Family' and 'Conscience'
NewsBusters ^ | September 18, 2008 | P.J. Gladnick

A stunning example of the incredible disconnect between the mainstream media and the blogosphere is this video of the interim Fannie Mae CEO, Daniel Mudd, addressing the Congressional Black Caucus, including Barack Obama, at their swearing-in ceremony in 2005. Although this video is spreading quickly in the blogosphere, you have yet to see or hear anything about it in the MSM. As you can see in the video, Mudd talks about the problems of Fannie Mae yet that didn't keep Obama and other Democrats from taking large contributions from that organization or doing anything to try to fix it. Here is a transcript of CEO Mudd addressing the Democrats (emphasis mine):

And news organizations are wondering why they are losing readers and viewers. Maybe it is because they decline to report inconvenient news such as this.

I saw a thread on this last night and wondered why it wasn’t in breaking. This is incriminating stuff.

If Drudge picks it up then very grudgingly, maybe after a week, they will make a small mention of it.

Spread this out there folks. Right now, Obama is trying to take advantage of the economic cycle- cut off his attack. Everyone check your local paper’s website to see if it has forums, post to blogs, and write letters to the editor.

I am writing a blob for the newspaper I write for talking about Obama’s contributions etc., but this seems not really worth a mention. The context is referring to the Congressional Black Caucus. He isn’t really addressing them as Dems, but as members of the CBC. Do the two go together? Yes, but in this case he really is tying it to the helping minority thing and that is the friendship with the CBC.

blob....oh my. Blog. There is still a lot of stuff to get at, such as McCain’s proposal in 2005.

While the polling is close, I believe it is far worse than the numbers reflect given social apprehension of middle-of-the-road uncommitted respondents to appear racist by not supporting Obama,” wrote former Democratic congressional candidate Paul Hackett on the Daily Kos blog. “Thus instead of being down in Ohio by 3 or 4 points I would argue that for planning purposes the working assumption should indicate that Obama is down in Ohio by roughly 10 points.”

Is this something new to anyone who is even mildly informed?

It’s time to get in their face, I took it too some former friends and told them Obama was a black Communist — They blew up, I laughed in their face. Well so much for that .... LOL.

The speaker looks very nervous and mentions needing help several times. I think there is something here.

Do I correctly read this whole FM/FM thing as having a racial core functionality?

Doesn’t matter.

I could show this to some of the Obama supporters I know and they would just get a glassy look in their eyes, stare off at some imaginary spot on the wall behind me and let a globbit of drool spill for the side of their mouth.
