Obama administration fights to hide documents from the public.
There is a scandal behind the collapse of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and their role in helping trigger the ongoing financial crisis. A key component of understanding exactly what went on is the role political corruption played in the failure of adequate congressional oversight and the catastrophic collapse of these "government-sponsored entities" in 2008. That's why Judicial Watch filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit against the Obama administration to get hold of documents related to Fannie's and Freddie's campaign contributions over the past several election cycles.
We figure that because American taxpayers are on the hook for trillions of dollars, potentially including at least $400 billion alone for Fannie and Freddie, the American people deserve to know how and why this financial collapse occurred and who in Washington is responsible.
Unfortunately, the Obama administration disagrees.
The truth is that few in the Obama administration and Congress want the American people to know all the sordid details regarding Fannie and Freddie. Politicians of every stripe were on the take from Fannie and Freddie. And now we're all paying for it, literally.
Judicial Watch's effort to open up Fannie and Freddie to public scrutiny as the law requires is not just about political corruption - it also is about accountability.

Because he has friends (fellow beneficiaries) in the oval office and the justice department.
At Bernanke’s appearance before Congress, a Code Pinker was holding up a sign demanding the banks be broken up. I thought the sign holder looked familiar. Yup, the sign holder did indeed look familiar. I remember that sign holder from the dark and dirty days of my misspent youth when I was a SWPer. Some of us grow as we get older....so do not.
