It's bad enough that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac receive backing from the federal government. It's worse still that unemployed politicians (Jamie Gorelick, Jim Johnson, Franklin Raines) make millions of dollars as incompetent managers who can't figure out their own accounting issues. But to then donate millions of dollars, including to organizations like Jesse Jackson's PUSH coalition , Fannie and...

Mickey Kaus on Obama's bad-judgment-turned-good-luck: Didn't subprime poster villain Angelo Mozilo do Barack Obama a big favor by compromising Obama's initial VP vetter, Jim Johnson, with favorable loans, causing Johnson to step down from his position? How bad would today's headlines be for Obama if Fannie Mae fatcat Johnson was still heading up his vice-presidential search effort?

Stephen Bainbridge strolls down memory lane and finds lots of early alarms of a crisis at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Since Obama dumped his VP-vetter and former FNMA head Jim Johnson a few weeks back I would say he...

JESUS CHRIST, JESUS CHRIST, JESUS CHRIST! George Sherrill came in and gave the game away with a 5-4 lead in the ninth. That's our All-Star! Jim Johnson did his job in the eighth, giving up two to let Toronto back in anyway. This is getting really, really, really ugly, and anyone wanting to hold onto the veterans on this team needs to get the F real. I'm serious. They're coming back to reality, and...

Move over, Jeremiah Wright , Tony Rezko , and Jim Johnson . You might have to make room under that bus for Wesley Clark. Yesterday, General Clark, who has been mentioned as a possible running mate for Barack Obama, trash-talked John McCain's experience on Face the Nation . Calling the former POW "untested and untried", Gen. Clark insisted that Sen. McCain had held no "executive responsibility". "He...

As most Campaign ‘08 gadflies are aware, there was some serious ado over Senator Barack Obama’s VP selection committee. Two weeks ago, former Fannie Mae CEO Jim Johnson, one of the original three appointed to conduct Obama’s VP search, tapped out after the WSJ reported on favorable loans he received from Countrywide Financial. Meanwhile, Senator [...]

From NBC's Mark MurrayIn the past few weeks, Republicans have attacked controversial Obama advisers -- like veep-vetters Jim Johnson (who stepped down from that post) and Eric Holder (who has become their chief target now with Johnson gone).
