  • There will be no justice for the taxpayer until former Fannie Mae, CEO's and executives salaries are "clawed back" to include, but not limited to:

    1. James A. Johnson, CEO, 1991-'99 began easing loan standards.
    2. Franklin D. Raines, CEO (friend of Obama), 1999-'04
    2a. Tim Howard, CFO under Raines.
    2b. Jamie Gorelick, (friend of Bill) Vice-Chairman of FM. 1997-'03.

    And last, but by no means least, honorable mention to the US Presidents that put all these evil people into motion with their poorly thought out policies:

    1: Lyndon Johnson for taking FM "private".
    2. G.H.W. Bush (Rino) for extending FM's charter to "affordable housing".
    3. W.J Clinton, for pressuring FM to make more risky "low income "
    loans.
    4. G.W. Bush, (Rino), for his "Ownership Society".

    On second thought, perhaps the taxpayer deserves the bill for electing these clowns to positions beyond their ken and conscience..

  • Barney Frank , Chris Dodd , and Maxine Waters wouldn't allow Bush to regulate them in 2003 or 2005 . The bills were held up in committee and never allowed to hit the floors of House or Senate

    Like Harry Reid does with budgets , as the Senate hasn't voted on one in 3 years because they never hit the floor
