Well, FDR (Franklin Deleno Raines) was the first black CEO of a fortune 500 company. I can see how Democrats would be reluctant to call him a failure.
I think Obama has already let them go, so John McCain cannot mention Raines or Johnson anymore by MSM standards. Meanwhile, McCain has let Gramm go, but that is still a fair attack for Obama to mention him.
The BIAS has to end!
I doubt the Affirmative Action Candidate (and Law Review Editor) will point the finger at the Affirmative Action CEO.
“And so did the politicians that were supposed to be overseeing the agencies ..... Obama #2 man in bribes - contributions”.
YES - and I’m so sick of the MSM giving total airtime to the far left who have now twisted this economic fiasco to suit themselves, mislead and misinform the public by saying that it was GW, Bush and the republicans’ fault for being against regulation.
NOT SO - both GW and McCain tried to press for regulation of Fannie and Freddie going back to three years ago, but senate/congress shot them down. My best friend often says that the media decides elections - I pray that won’t be so this year, but this is just blatant lying by both Obama and the other left Dems.
And your comment about BHO being #2 beneficiary of Fannie/Freddie? Yes, how true. Most don’t know (or remember) that Jim Johnson, head of Countrywide under Fannie Mae was one of his campaign kingpins. And the #1 recipient of sweetheart deals from these agencies - Chris Dodd, head of the Senate Banking Committee!!! Take a look here at what he has power over via this committee - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Senate_Banking_Committee
Plus, check out the big contributions these guys have received from Fannie/Freddie. Yet they persist in presenting McCain as well as the Bush administration as the bad guys here. The Dems used Fannie/Freddie for way too long as their own golden goose.
Since any member of senate/congress can be impeached/kicked out of office - why not even just one of these guys - (and Pelosi should be at the top of the list)???
Sorry, I had to vent.

CEOs like former Clintonoids.
Yes, but you may be labeled sexist! Sounds like a trust fund brat who chose to join the Chicago (political) mafia.
Yes, we need a president who will do so and you are not it.
In Bush's case it was five years ago: 2003. The NYT called his proposal the "most sweeping overhaul" of Fannie & Freddie ever attempted, and the Senate Democrats, with the help from the usual Rinos, defeated it.
So now the subprime loan mess that began under Carter in 1977, and was worsened tenfold under Clinton in 1995, is simply Bush and Wall Street's fault -- and half the American public is dumb or leftist enough to believe it.
What if I'm a woman? Or not even a human being?
Barack was certainly ‘minding the store’...he raked in millions!!
(eye roll)
And your way of ‘ending it’ is abandoning the field to the enemy?
John McCain needs to shout this Raines, Pritkzer, Johnson Inc. stuff from the highest rooftops from now until election day!
Are you kidding me?
Yes. Dead on.
So, name them. They have names. Name them.
Elko Nevada. Old mining town. Sort of like the perennial “rust belt.” Population of 16,000. Nothing else for miles and miles and miles. Did Obama get all of 600 unionists to show up?
Am curious about the Nobama “rally” in Elko this week. Anyone know how many showed up? Knowing Elko, can’t imagine many supporting the ONE. Probably bussed em in from Vegas.
“In Bush’s case it was five years ago: 2003. “
Thanks very much for the correction! Even better. Yes, it was McCain who began vocalizing three years ago.
Also, you’re right in saying the public doesn’t have a clue on this. Scary - and yet they will vote.
