If this is true, it’s ripe with hypocrisy.
Obama canned Jim Johnson from the VP vetting process for this very reason.
“In sum, the piece notes that Jim Johnson, one of the three people Sen. Obama chose to help him select his vice presidential running mate, received below-market interest-rate mortgages from Countrywide Financial while he was the CEO of Fannie Mae, and did not disclose the sweetheart deals to Fannie’s board. This while he was pulling down $21 million in pay. Obama has called Countrywide’s CEO—who arranged the special loans for Johnson—one of the people responsible for the mortgage crisis.”
Should qualify, Obama is ripe with hypocrisy.
rife
OBAMA then: “That is not the Jim Johnson I knew”
OBAMA now: “OOOPS, that is not the Barack Obama I knew!!”
