Lawhawk <\/a>wrote yesterday that Rahm Emanuel is steeped in the mortgage crisis at Freddie Mac as a member of the board of that entity;<\/p>\n

Emanuel was on the board of Freddie Mac<\/a> when Freddie Mac was cooking the books. He didn’t blow the whistle on the situation or the fact that the entity was about to go broke over the subprime mess, which he and his fellow Democrats chose to ignore for years in the name of affordable housing. As ABC News now<\/span> reports<\/a>:<\/p>\n

President-elect Barack Obama’s newly appointed chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel, served on the board of directors of the federal mortgage firm Freddie Mac at a time when scandal was brewing at the troubled agency and the board failed to spot “red flags,” according to government reports reviewed by ABCNews.com.<\/p>\n

According to a complaint later filed by the Securities and Exchange Commission, Freddie Mac, known formally as the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, misreported profits by billions of dollars in order to deceive investors between the years 2000 and 2002.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n

No one has accused Emanuel of wrongdoing in those complaints, but one really ought to question his judgment and inability to note the serious problems facing Freddie Mac.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Reading it reminded me of a piece that Rurik<\/a> emailed me the other day, so when I went to the article I had just read yesterday, I bumped into this;<\/p>\n

Through the magic of the internet, though, I tracked down a cached copy;<\/p>\n

This guy did a lot of research and he deserves credit for it, but I don’t want to get him in trouble with his local government,<\/p>\n

However it looks like something that could be a pattern of behavior among these thugs. Obama has relatives living in poverty around the world, yet he doesn’t spend a penny (of his own money) to lift them up – yet he and his pals get sweet deals on real estate and get to avoid paying the taxes that they hike on us.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
