Good. McCain needs to bring it up during the next debate and SLAM Obama for having Raines involved.

But that would be ‘partisan’ I guess.

Hmmm...while the article was probably factual, an ‘exposee’ of Fannie Mae (and Frank) without the words ‘Clinton’, ‘Raines’, and ‘Gorelick’ can only be viewed as a half-truth!

I would feel much more optimistic about our economy if the Barney Frank and Chris Dodd were no longer in Washington. Barney Frank soulds like a corrupt high school dropout.

2005? Isn’t that the same year Franklin Raines was removed as CEO after having been found to have fudged profits upwards of 9 BILLION dollars,and the resulting fraudulent bonuses in the millions? How in hell did EVERYBODY miss that one,and why is Raines walking the streets as a free man?

Make that 11 Billion dollars, Obstruction by Gorelick and her employees, and 'Raines walking the streets as a free man' on Obama's Campaign dole. oh, and I'm fairly certain he's a major supporter of the "It's Bush' fault" campaign! finally, it's amazing that the anacronym 'ACORN' is strangely absent as well, in this article and thread, isn't it!

Back to the 2005 issue, the OFHEO, Fannies' Regulator of record (recently replaced by a new Regulator), issued it's report on Fannie Mae in May 2006. At the time, McCain was leading the charge to 'clean up the mess' that Fannie had created. Unfortunately for the country, OFHEO was not as powerful as the 'culture of corruption' that pre-existed this campaign to 'straighten things out'. But the report is 'out there' for ALL to see. Also unfortunately, that entire 348 page 'expose' of Fannie Mae corruption did not use the term 'Barney Frank' even once! so Bawnie has many friends protecting his rear! or, It may be that ALL references to congress critters were redacted from the final version of the report by lobbyists.(IMHO)

Polling probably also shows that Barney Fwank has led the country to more sound fiscal policies. Our way of life might depend on somehow getting the truth out.

The hypocrisy of the Establishment is mountainous. Craig was caught maybe tappin his toe in a bathroom and Frank is packing fudge w/an officer of the biggest scandal in America. Silence.

Unbelievable, time for the Spaceage Press to carry the water and wake America up to who’s destroying this economy and why.

Pray for W, McCuda and our Troops
