I know they first started talking this takeover up in in August 2007. I remember the timing because the Utah mine rescue was going on and we were on vacation on our boat and I was listening to Fox a lot on XM to hear the news about the miners. I’m 99% positive Paulson was pushing this, can’t remember but I think Bernanke was as well... it was pretty clear right then Countrywide was in big trouble and DC didn’t want it to bring down the market. BTW, I am not behind on my mortgage, but this has me concerned... very concerned.
The dates you gave coincide with Turbo Tim geitner as FED Chair, right?
