Let me stipulate: Obama's Fannie Mae connections are completely fair game. But this ad doesn't even mention a far more significant tie--that of Jim Johnson, the former Fannie Mae chairman who had to resign as head of Obama's vice presidential search team after it was revealed he got a sweetheart deal on a mortgage from Countrywide Financial. Instead, it relies on a fleeting and tenuous reference in a Washington Post Style section story to suggest that Obama's principal economic adviser is former Fannie Mae Chairman Frank Raines. Why? One reason might be that Johnson is white; Raines is black.

I just hopped in from another Fannie Mae thread that called out Obama's connections to Jim Johnson. The lead poster correctly said that Obama is up to his eyeballs in corrupt CEOs.

Why call them all out in one ad? Why give him an opportunity to label an entire ad "a lie" on the basis of him disagreeing with a charge leveled about ONE corrupt figure?

Time Lies Warner needs to be defunded. Our tax dollars should not fund their partisan yellow journalism in our schools and public libraries.
