The word on Wall Street when Franklin Raines was the CEO of Fannie Mae, was that he got the job as a token (Raines is black(, and that he was incompetent, he would not be criticized, and they hoped against the evidence that he would do his job correctly.

Raines was part of the $9 billion cooking of the books at Fannie Mae which led to multi-million dollar bonuses to him, and to his enablers on the Board such as Jamie Gorelik (remember her?).

And now Raines is a "financial adviser" to Obama? A crook advising an empty suit? How scummy can the Obama campaign become?

Raines and Obama both disprove the Peter Principle. Both have been promoted more than one level above their incompetence level.

When voters don’t care
and politicos turn their heads
then we get the gubamint
