WHERE ARE THEY NOW?

The three men who brought down Wall Street.

Here's a quick look into the threeformer Fannie Mae executives who
brought down Wall Street.


Franklin Raines was a Chairman and Chief Executive Officer at FannieMae.
Raines was forced to retire from his position with Fannie Mae when
auditing discovered severe irregularities in Fannie Mae's accounting
activities. Raines left with a "golden parachute valued at $240Million in
benefits. The Government filed suit against Raines when the depth of the
accounting scandal became clear.

Tim Howard - was the Chief Financial Officer of Fannie Mae. Howard"was a
strong internal proponent of using accounting strategies that would ensure
a "stable pattern of earnings" at Fannie. Investigations by federal
regulators and the company's board of directors since concluded that
management didmanipulate 1998 earnings to trigger bonuses.
Raines and Howard resigned under pressure in late 2004. Howard'sGolden Parachute was
estimated at $20 Million!

Jim Johnson - A former executive at Lehman Brothers and who was later
forced from his position as Fannie Mae CEO. Investigators found that
Fannie Mae had hidden a substantial amount of Johnson's 1998compensation
from the public, reporting that it was between $6 million and $7million when in fact it was $21 million." Johnson is currently underinvestigation for taking illegal loans from Countrywide while serving as CEO ofFannie Mae.
Johnson's Golden Parachute was estimated at $28 Million.

Snopes has this as false but it wouldn't have surprised me to find out about more corruption in politics.

Our country needs a presidential candidate that everybody likes and believes. Is that asking too much? Unfortunately I guess it is.

I could find no evidence that any of these 3 are working for obama as stated in your email. BUT I did find where all 3 have been contacted via his campaign as advisors under the table on the down low. I see that all of the snopes and acorn types are filling the internet with links saying it's false, but I found a few youtube videos from fox showing where they have been connected to him.

I don't think obama is at fault for everything, but he sure as HE!! is driving us down the autobahn passing the BUAGGATI in the process on his way to bringing us all down to nothing. I know my views aren't shared by many, but I believe most all of us can agree the o is destroying this nation in RAPID order.

Amen


(as an aside, as far as the Fanny may, Freddie mac sub prime mortgage scandel is concerned it can be traced all the way back to Jimmy Carter, who signed the original bill that took us one step closer allowing/forcing banks to grant mortgages to people that had no business getting them and no way to pay for one. EACH AND EVERY PRESIDENT, (Rep and Dem alike), from then on added fuel to the fire by signing additional bills that made it easier and easier for the mess to occur.) I hate Obama with a passion, I firmly believe that he is deliberately trying to ruin this Country, but in all fairness I cannot blame him for creating the sup-prime mess.

Obama is not our only problem my friend. we have socialistic big government types in both parties. but he is far and away our biggest problem and the most immediate threat to the future of our nation. And with all due respect to those who are not paying attention he is an anti constitutionalist, see his latest power grab with recess appointments.
we are a nation of laws, obama has decided he will seize power as the executive that he does not have, he has been doing it since he took office.
people like that are extremely dangerous, see chavez in Venezuela.
we do not have an imperial presidency, we are Americans and we do not have royalty.
I have said it before and I will say it again, if you cannot see that your nation is in jeopardy with this socialist in office you are blind as a bat.
Are the republican candidates perfect? no. I am not in love with any of them. In fact I am very disappointed in what the republicans have put forward in this extremely important election.
That being said, I know in my heart and mind that whoever the people select as the candidate in the primaries we as AMERICANS have to get behind them and vote.
Not as republicans, not as democrats, not as independents, but as Americans concerned with our nation becoming a socialist nation with a debt problem very close to being Greece.
With individual liberties threatened and a president who feels he can side step or outright violate the Constitution as he feels needed.
Your children are at stake and our nation is at stake.
Mistakes were made for often times honorable reasons(at least in some peoples mind) by putting someone who is a die hard socialist/progressive ideologue in office and who told you up front he was going to fundamentally transform America.
As damaging as that decision was for our nation, to do it again, in my opinion is outright criminal.
And yes I said criminal.And I will tell you why. This man has told you what he was going to do, his video's for anyone who cared to look, in which he has said outright what he intends to do are available, he has done exactly what he said he was going to do, and all those things are leading this nation away from American Liberty, away from Honoring the Constitution, spending our nation into bankruptcy at a rate unheard of in the history of the world, redistribution of wealth, federal control of our nations economy, federal control of the health industry, seizing power to the federal government to order Americans to buy a product that they may not want, crony capitalism to a degree unheard of even from the worst of the republican administrations, damaging our nations security around the world, leaving our allies shaking their heads in disbelief. Passing laws and regulations that have the effect of law which are stifling our economy by an out of control regulatory administration circumventing the law of the land, and seizing more power to the federal government, illegally.
This ****bird needs to be removed by the American people, as soon as possible.
If the people put Daffy Duck in opposition to this scumin chief, we need to quack and pull the lever for Old Daffy.
Anyone who cannot see this is an ideologue who has no understanding of the American Dream and what this presidency is doing to it.

These are long videos...but if you are serious about actually fixing what's really wrong, the root cause of America's problems, here's a guy w/his finger pointed squarely at the problem and the solution...I don't agree w/EVERYTHING he says, but if this is the guy who's willing to fight the status quo of the present corrupt government, I'll settle for the rest...til we fix this, the other problems are miniscule...
