I would love it if he chose Weasel Clark, but I’m afraid he’s not that stupid.

“... Wesley Clark, who led the war in Kosovo ...”

That worked out well, didn't it?

the Democratic presidential candidate's vice presidential vetting team.

But the real problem is the Democrats didn't VET Obama during the primary...

Now we find that he cannot pick his friends wisely (Rezko), pastor (Wright) and wife... how in the name of all things holy -- can Obama be expected to pick his VP, cabinet and judges?

Hmmmm... I have to wonder if the snob’s been looking at another Hawaiian-born guy for VP. The one I’m thinking of has been pretty tight-lipped, I’d bet he’s at least received some phone messages from Team Messiah.

How about Sam Nunn from GA? Not military but has serious “Conservative Scoop Jackson Democrat” credentials. If Obama can make a race of it in even 1 southern state it is all over but the crying.

Shinseki or Clark are both losers. They embraced PC in order to advance their careers.

McPeak was a political military officer, and was unliked in the AF.

Webb is a head case. However, he has just written a book trying to up his cred as a “moderate conservative”, no really. I saw the review in the Washington Times today. He is an opportunist. All are bad choices and only further the “facade” of Obamarama.

How about Weasley Clark, who provided the tank that fired into the compound at WACO.

Hmmmm. Essence of cesspool on the wind.

Going to dredge up Murtha, perhaps?? Go for the “solid old” angle?? And his hair just says “Mow Town” all the way, so the pick could be a two-fer.

Obama has a three-person team managing the vetting process that includes one-time first daughter Caroline Kennedy, former Deputy Attorney General Eric Holder and Jim Johnson, the former CEO of mortgage lender Fannie Mae.

SEPTEMBER 2004 : (FANNIE MAE SCANDAL -- See JAMIE GORELICK {9/11 COMMISSION MEMBER}) WASHINGTON (CBS.MW) -- Shares of Fannie Mae dropped Thursday as the federal regulator overseeing the mortgage giant said it would increase the frequency with which it issues reports regarding the company's capital. Fannie (FNM: news, chart, profile) saw its shares trade down $2.29, or 3.4 percent, to $63.96 in recent dealings. The Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight, or OFHEO, said earlier Thursday it will increase its classification of Fannie Mae's capital to a monthly basis from quarterly one. The move comes in the wake of the agency's stinging study examining accounting irregularities at Fannie. The monthly reports "will continue until such time as all safety and soundness concerns are fully addressed," OFHEO said.
The heat on Fannie Mae continued to rise Thursday as The Wall Street Journal reported that the Justice Department opened a criminal probe into possible accounting fraud at the company.
Neither the Justice Department nor Fannie Mae would comment on the report. A Justice Department investigation would become the third probe of the company. The Securities and Exchange Commission has opened an informal investigation while OFHEO continues its 8-month-old examination of Fannie Mae's accounting.
OFHEO said Thursday that Fannie and smaller rival Freddie Mac (FRE: news, chart, profile) are "adequately capitalized" as of June 30.
Fannie has agreed with OFHEO to undertake a number of steps to address the findings of accounting problems. The outcome of the investigation may, OFHEO noted, result in a restatement of company earnings and a revision of capital calculations.
A House Financial Services subcommittee has scheduled a hearing for Oct. 6 about Fannie's accounting issues. A Fannie spokesman said Chairman and CEO Franklin Raines and Chief Financial Officer Timothy Howard will both testify. OFHEO said Fannie's risk-based capital requirement was $24.391 billion as of June 30. With $36.862 billion on June 30, Fannie exceeded its requirement by $12.471 billion. Fannie also exceeded its minimum capital requirement, the agency said. Freddie also exceeded its capital requirements, the regulator said. Shares of Freddie dropped 1.7 percent to $65.81.
