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.

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".
