Why isn't Franklin Raines as famous as Enron's Ken Lay? Talk among yourselves.
Franklin Raines, the former top man at Fannie Mae, bought a three-bedroom, seven-bath penthouse condominium in the West End’s Ritz-Carlton Residences for $4.9 million. The condo has a rooftop terrace with a hot tub, a butler’s pantry, and three parking spaces. Raines, director of the US Office of Management and Budget under President Clinton, was CEO of Fannie Mae from 1999 to 2004.

Its not just because he's black. Look at the media treatment of the entire Fanny/Freddy scandal? What you didn't know it was a scandal? Its a Democratic party scandal and its not being treated that way. Of course by now we know that real scandals involve a single Republican politician writing titilating messages to a congressional page. How about a scandal that clearly involves the entire Democratic party and their liberal agenda? No big deal.

Question: Are Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac large enough to create the OCTOBER SURPRISE? The people have the position and motive, but could they bring on the collapse?

You know, I think because Frank Raines knows too many "secrets!" -- Just a guess.

Because he is black. There I said it "out loud". Nobody can criticize him because of his minority status and connections to Obama without being labeled a RACIST. A term that has been so over-used during the Obama campaign that it is becoming almost meaningless. I couldn't give a rat's hiney if these people were pink with purple polka-dots. They ought to all be doing the perp walk in blaze orange instead of sitting on the penthouse balcony.

Wow - 7 bathrooms. If Raines needs that many bathrooms, he better have his Dr. check for prostate problems.
