So, Rahm never-let-a-crisis-go-to-waste Emanuel earned "at least" $320,000 for a 14 month stint on Freddie Mac's board (which met no more than 6 times per year)and also made $16 MILLION dollars in only 3 years as an investment banker???

Funny (not) how they forget to mention those details when they are constantly bashing and demonizing the mortgage industry, Wall Street and those evil capitalist rich people!!

HYPOCRITES!!!

Did you hear the other good news? Obama nominated an ex-Freddie Mac executive to lead HUD. I wonder how many millions Mr. Stevens made while at Freddie Mac?? As posted here on FR, he also proudly launched the Home Possible product at Freddie (designed for low income, weak credit, no down payment borrowers).

Here is the post in case you missed it (got some great comments!)

I wonder what the odds are that Mr. Emanuel had anything to do with this cozy nomination? Probably pretty darn high... Can it get any dirtier??!?

Please post using the proper title. It should be, “Rahm Emanuel’s profitable stint at mortgage giant”

It’s the Chicago Way...

Actually, at this rate, we’ll start to resemble New Jersey: over-taxed, over-regulated, Democrat-owned, and all mobbed-up.

When the Dude said “Change”, he wasn’t kiddin’...

THAT IS CHICKEN FEED!

Gorelick earned an estimated $26,000,000 serving as vice chair of Fannie Mae from 1998 to 2003.

The Clinton administration's White House Budget Director Franklin Raines ran Fannie and collected $50,000,000.

Big Democrat Jim Johnson, recently on Obama's VP search committee, has hauled in millions from his Fannie Mae CEO job. Johnson earned $21,000,000 in just his last year at Fannie Mae.

Didn't she pat all these thieves on the back, saying they were doing a fine job?

All these rich rat bastard democrats have made their fortunes in America’s capitalist system. Could they have amassed these fortunes in a socialist system? Now they want to close the doors and use our money to take care of everybody including the just plain lazy who will never work! If they care so much about helping people then they can damn well use their own money -not mine!!

Always, always, always follow the money.

Will Obama’s Chief of Staff Return Money From Stock Options ...from... Freddie Mac ?

Twinkle-toes is dirty, no doubt about it. Maybe Olbermann will open his show with this story tonight. And then again, maybe not.
