ABC Scoops the Blogosphere

Emanuel Was Director Of Freddie Mac During Scandal

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.

Emanuel was not named in the SEC complaint (click here to read) but the entire board was later accused by the Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight (OFHEO) (click here to read) of having "failed in its duty to follow up on matters brought to its attention."

MORE DIRT on Sarah Palin from UNNAMED SOURCES



Unnamed "aides" continue to spin the "Sarah Palin is a diva" line, meanwhile the caribou-hunting governor returns to Alaska.

An unnamed source who’s probably Randy Scheunemann told Politico two weeks ago that Schmidt and Wallace would end up being the ones trying to tear Palin down. Whether that’s because the source had reason to believe they’d leak or simply because he/she knew there was bad blood between them and Palin and expected some post-campaign sniping, no one except Politico knows. Two months later, though, I’m unclear how Palin was “overprepared” for questions about what periodicals she likes to read or why Russia’s proximity to Alaska enhanced her foreign policy credentials, as she suggested to Charlie Gibson. Those are the questions that killed her, not anything having to do with, say, naming the deputy prime minister of Kazakhstan.

The LA Times has new dirt too, related mainly to the shopping expenses, and unsurprisingly it’s linked (indirectly) to Schmidt, Rick Davis, and Nicolle Wallace. Here’s an interview she did today in four parts with local radio in Alaska. She is, more than ever, a woman in demand.

Mary Catherine Ham points out the absurdity of the unnamed McCain campaign hachetmen's claims about Palin.

Disgruntled McCain staffers not only require you to believe that the chief executive of the state of Alaska knew nothing about one of her state's most important trading partners, but that she was equally oblivious to the economic winds affecting the industry that provided her very own livelihood. Perhaps they should head to the NYT next, which has a history of employing anyone who has a penchant for writing slam books about Republicans.

This accusation didn't pass the smell test to begin with, but because McCain staffers are requiring us to defend our popular former vice presidential nominee against NYT-like attacks, there are some facts to consider.

Bill Maher demonstrates to Larry King how hard it is to be fresh and funny when you're repeating what everyone on the Left is saying.

King: Is Gov. Palin the new star of the Republican Party?

Maher: If they're not very bright, she is. I mean, that's going to be the gut check for the Republicans ... what direction are they going to go in now?

Now, I think politicians are usually led by the idea that they want to win elections. And Sarah Palin was a bit of an Alaskan albatross around John McCain's neck -- not that he would have won anyway.

Bill O'Reilly Calls Barney Frank a "Coward"

Barney Frank Gets a Spanking
Right Bias.com


JUST ONE MORE DOLLAR, PLEASE.
"Send Fannie Mae more money. I promise they'll spend it wisely next time."

---

Say what you will about Bill O'Reilly, but he's the only person who finally did what millions of conservatives have yearned to do. On the O'Reilly Factor last night, host Bill O'Reilly gave Rep. Barney Frank a very public spanking for "presiding over the largest financial failure of our time."

With his characteristic bulldog style, times ten, O'Reilly quoted Frank's July, 2008 statement that, despite a few problems, Fannie-Mae had a 'solid' future.' O'Reilly got increasingly agitated as he outlined how thousands of Americans took Frank at his word, only to lose big as Fannie Mae tanked shortly thereafter.

Barney Frank, consummate politician that he is, handled himself quite well, casting himself as having fought for greater regulation and reform of Fannie Mae. Rep. Frank was genuinely perplexed that Americans weren't judging him on his good intentions instead of the disastrous results of his actions, or lack of actions.


Frank held his own, using the proven tactic of attacking the messenger instead of responding to the actual issue. With a straight face, he accused Bill O'Reilly of not listening. "I didn't say Fannie Mae was a good investment," Frank stated. With that, O'Reilly went nuclear.

"Oh, stop the BS. Stop the crap," O'Reilly yelled, emphasizing his irritation with huge finger jabs. 'You're a coward." Living up to the moniker 'No Spin Zone,' O'Reilly went further, stating, "At least Christopher Cox was man enough to admit failure. Come on, be a man. Come on, you coward. You blame everyone else. You're a coward!"

Frank again tried to switch the issue to O'Reilly's lack of manners. On this point, he was somewhat correct. The confrontation indeed turned into a shout-fest, with both sides maneuvering for control of the issue. Bill O'Reilly won. Barney Frank lost.

Though this debate didn't conform to the civilized rules of debate by virtue of finger pointing, shouting and accusations, it nevertheless was long overdue. The point O'Reilly managed to convey was the utter lack of accountability assigned to the very people who were supposed to be in charge of financial oversight. Namely, Rep. Barney Frank and Sen. Chris Dodd - the very politicians who now jockey for face time after having appointed themselves the experts in charge of solving this vexing problem. After being directly responsible for causing it.

Hypocrisy is nothing new in politics, but with millions of Americans now paying the price for Barney Frank's decisions, his very public spanking was long overdue. Kudos to Bill O'Reilly and shame on Barney Frank for not 'being a man.'

Bailout Oversight: House Dems Attacked Regulator in 2004

2004: Congressional Democrats Shoot the Messenger Warning of Problems at Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae
2008: Obama declares problems are result of "Deregulation" by Bush, McCain

"...I'm just pissed off at FHEO (Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight), because if it wasn't for you, I don't think we'd be here today."
--Rep. Gregory Meeks (D-NY) 2004 Congressional hearing
To Almando Falcon, FHEO director who presented the report of widespread accounting irregularities in Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac




"I don't see anything in the report that raises safety and soundness problems."
--Rep. Barney Frank (D-MA) 2004 on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac irregularities

C-SPAN video footage of a Congressional hearing you will not see in the Mainstream Media.

Democrats insist that the $700 billion bailout will have "oversight".

What happened four years ago when the Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight director issued a report raising the alarm about irregularities at Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae?

Democrats attacked the agency in charge of oversight. Will it be any different with the "New Improved Oversight"?





"...I'm just pissed off at FHEO (Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight), because if it wasn't for you, don't think we'd be here today."
Rep. Gregory Meeks (D-NY) 2004 Congressional hearing
To Almando Falcon, FHEO director who presented the report of widespread accounting irregularities in Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac

"I don't see anything in the report that raises safety and soundness problems."
--Rep. Barney Frank (D-MA) 2004 on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac irregularities

"I get the feeling that the markets are not worried about the safety and soundness of Fannie Mae..."
--Rep. Lacy Clay (D-MO) 2004 hearing

"Under the outstanding leadership of Frank Raines, everything in the 1992 Act has worked just fine."
--Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) 2004 hearing

"But the concern that I have is that you are making very specific--what you have correctly acknowledged--very broad and categorical judgments about the management of this institution, about he willfullness of practices that may or may not be in controversy. You've imputed various motives to the people running the organization. You went to the board and put a forty-eight hour ultimatum on them, without having any specific regulatory authority to put that ultimatum on them. It sounds like some kind of invisible line has been crossed."
--Rep. Artur Davis (D-AL) 2004 hearing
To Almando Falcon, FHEO presenting the report about problems with Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Franklin Raines

Thanks to Naked Emperor News, this incredibly incriminating footage on C-Span from 2004 shows a Congressional hearing on oversight of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, investigating illegal book keeping of the government backed banking companies.

You’ll notice Democrats like Barney Frank, Maxine Waters, Gregory Meeks and Artur Davis saying Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were doing just fine, didn’t need to be investigated and beating up on regulators trying to keep Fannie and Freddie honest.

Meanwhile, Republicans like Richard Baker, Ed Royce, Christopher Shays and Don Manzullo predict trouble ahead at Frannie and Freddie, call for more oversight and condemn the incredible profits of the CEOs of these government sponsored financial companies.
--2004 Footage Shows Democrats Defending Fannie/Freddie Illegal Book Keeping While Republicans Call for Oversight

One of the chief roadblocks to the $700 billion bailout is the House Republicans not buying into handouts to the very people that we were warned about four years ago.

The House Republicans are well aware how well "oversight" worked four years ago when the agency responsible exercised some oversight.

Meanwhile, the Mainstream Media cautions their remaining "news" customers not to make the financial bailout into a partisan issue.

Little wonder.

"One of the major government privileges granted to GSEs is a line of credit with the United States Treasury. According to some estimates, the line of credit may be worth over $2 billion. This explicit promise by the Treasury to bail out GSEs in times of economic difficulty helps the GSEs attract investors who are willing to settle for lower yields than they would demand in the absence of the subsidy. Thus, the line of credit distorts the allocation of capital. More importantly, the line of credit is a promise on behalf of the government to engage in a huge unconstitutional and immoral income transfer from working Americans to holders of GSE debt."
--Rep. Ron Paul
To the House Financial Services Committee, September 10, 2003

"I don't think a single call to my office on this proposal has been positive."

"Mr. President, this week Fannie Mae's regulator reported that the company's quarterly reports of profit growth over the past few years were "illusions deliberately and systematically created" by the company's senior management, which resulted in a $10.6 billion accounting scandal.

If Congress does not act, American taxpayers will continue to be exposed to the enormous risk that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac pose to the housing market, the overall financial system, and the economy as a whole."

"Instead of furthering the inevitable liquidation of the maladjustments brought about by the boom during the last three years, all conceivable means have been used to prevent that readjustment from taking place; and one of these means, which has been repeatedly tried though without success, from the earliest to the most recent stages of depression, has been this deliberate policy of credit expansion. ... To combat the depression by a forced credit expansion is to attempt to cure the evil by the very means which brought it about; because we are suffering from a misdirection of production, we want to create further misdirection--a procedure that can only lead to a much more severe crisis as soon as the credit expansion comes to an end. ...It is probably to this experiment, together with the attempts to prevent liquidation once the crisis had come, that we owe the exceptional severity and duration of the depression.We must not forget that, for the last six or eight years, monetary policy all over the world has followed the advice of the stabilizers. It is high time that their influence, which has already done harm enough, should be overthrown."
--F.A. Hayek, Nobel prize winner
June 1932

"As it became clear to Paulson that Republicans weren't backing his plan, he called Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) urging him to bring McCain back to Washington in order to broker a deal the GOP could get behind. As a new plan was put forth Thursday, Democrats saw this as an opportunity to undermine McCain by creating the illusion he was to blame for the negotiations breaking down.

Democrat after Democrat was sent before cameras, microphones, and tape recorders to belittle the Senator from Arizona and create the appearance that the financial bailout took a wrong turn due to his appearance at the negotiating table.

Now, with the deal seemingly dead, the Democrats are saying they're behind the Paulson plan. If it succeeds, they can take all the credit; if it dies, they can blame it completely on McCain and the Republican party."

Dodd, Obama got nearly a quarter-million dollars from Freddie, Fannie


It's like sending the foxes to fix the hole in the chicken coop.

Senators Chris Dodd and Barack Obama, among others, have stepped up to "fix" the financial crisis, brought on in large part by the implosion of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae. Dodd and Obama were two of the three largest recipients of Freddie-Fannie campaign contributions.


It's like sending the foxes to fix the hole in the chicken coop.

Senators Chris Dodd and Barack Obama, among others, have stepped up to "fix" the financial crisis, brought on in large part by the implosion of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae. Dodd and Obama were two of the three largest recipients of Freddie-Fannie campaign contributions.




The Freddie-Fannie Five

1. Sen. Dodd, Christopher J (D-CT) - $133,900
2. Sen. Kerry, John (D-MA) -- $111,000
3. Sen. Obama, Barack (D-IL) - $105,849
4. Sen. Clinton, Hillary (D-NY) - $75,550
5. Rep. Kanjorski, Paul E (D-PA) - $65,500


The top five received nearly one-half million dollars from the FMx2. Dodd and Obama received almost a quarter million from the failed quasi-government agencies between the two of them.

From Open Secrets.org, "Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac Invest in Democrats":

(For an updated chart that includes contributions from Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae's PACs and employees to ALL lawmakers back to 1989, including to their leadership PACs, go here.) and data The federal government recently announced that it will come to the rescue of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, two embattled mortgage buyers that for years have pursued a lobbying strategy to get lawmakers on their side. Both companies have poured money into lobbying and campaign contributions to federal candidates, parties and committees as a general tactic, but they've also directed those contributions strategically. In the 2006 election cycle, Fannie Mae was giving 53 percent of its total $1.3 million in contributions to Republicans, who controlled Congress at that time. This cycle, with Democrats in control, they've reversed course, giving the party 56 percent of their total $1.1 million in contributions. Similarly, Freddie Mac has given 53 percent of its $555,700 in contributions to Democrats this cycle, compared to the 44 percent it gave during 2006.

Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have also strategically given more contributions to lawmakers currently sitting on committees that primarily regulate their industry. Fifteen of the 25 lawmakers who have received the most from the two companies combined since the 1990 election sit on either the House Financial Services Committee; the Senate Banking, Housing & Urban Affairs Committee; or the Senate Finance Committee. The others have seats on the powerful Appropriations or Ways & Means committees, are members of the congressional leadership or have run for president. Sen. Chris Dodd (D-Conn.), chairman of the Senate banking committee, has received the most from Fannie and Freddie's PACs and employees ($133,900 since 1989). Rep. Paul Kanjorski (D-Pa.) has received $65,500. Kanjorski chairs the House Financial Services Subcommittee on Capital Markets, Insurance and Government-Sponsored Enterprises, and Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae are government-sponsored enterprises, or GSEs.

The airwaves yesterday were full of Barack Obama making statements and posturing on the crisis.

Nowhere in any of the Obama statements was any mention of his relationship with Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae.

The Obama campaign showed rare judgment in this decision.

Yesterday may not have been the right time to mention his failed benefactors.

Financial Bail-out: Govt. Interference Caused Govt. Bailout

Caution: Government at Work
Financial Problems are Government's Fault in the First Place
The Political Capitalist Different from True Capitalist





September 17 was Constitution Day. The federal government celebrated by staging the largest intervention into the private sector in history. With an injection of $85 billion of our tax dollars, our federal government now owns a majority stake in insurance giant, American International Group.

AIG should fit nicely with the two mortgage giants, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac that our government seized last week. Of course, Fannie and Freddie also came with liabilities of more than $5 trillion worth of mortgages, which are now liabilities of the U.S. taxpayers. Not to worry, the government doesn't intend to incorporate the assets or liabilities of Fannie and Freddie onto the federal books, for now.

The outgoing CEO's of the failed Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac will be leaving with a $24 million severance package, also paid for with our tax dollars. Ditto with failed giant AIG. Even though AIG shares have dropped 94 percent since Robert Willumstad, was named chief executive officer on June 15, this soon to be ex-CEO may get a $7 million exit package after a Federal Reserve take-over forces him out. Had enough yet? Hold on, there's more.

The Big Three’s chief executive officers are now in Washington, tin cups in hand. They were granted a rare Capitol Hill meeting Wednesday with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and other Democratic leaders to ask for $25 billion in government loans for the auto industry.

Meanwhile, Congress has just approved and sent to President Bush an $8 billion rescue package for the federal highway trust fund. Apparently its going broke, which threatens road and bridge projects in every state.

Government bailouts, in effect, use our tax dollars to reward bad behaviour, while at the same time, putting more and more private business under government control. While America's eyes are eagerly following the presidential election, our government is turning the US into a corporate welfare state. Its called socialism, and it has failed everywhere its been tried.

No doubt, these business failures will be used as a further indictment of capitalism. But, as Burton Fulson points out in his book, 'The Myth of the Robber Baron,' there are two very different types of capitalists operating in America.

The true capitalists, the market entrepreneurs, are subject to the vagaries and risks of the market and fail or succeed based strictly the age old rule of supply and demand. The political capitalists are entrepreneurs whose fortunes are not determined by market forces as much as they are by political forces.

Political capitalists, instead of relying on market forces, rely instead on politicians and the political process to further their own interests and undermine their competitors'. This appears to be the case with both AIG and mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

As Jennifer Rubin points out in Commentary, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac "survived by manipulating, cajoling and lobbying politicians and hiring board members who were politicos (e.g. Jamie Gorelick) rather than mortgage gurus. They hired lobbyists, gave massive donations, obtained nice tax breaks and sailed below the regulatory radar screen."

Ditto for investment bank Lehman Brothers, which also failed this week. The government chose not to bail Lehman out, despite the $395,574 in campaign donations to Obama and the $145,100 to McCain. Go figure.

A selection of conservative books available.


Political fingerprints are found all over every single failed business, from the 'favorable' mortgages to politicians, to the campaign contributions, to the lack of regulatory oversight by key members of banking and regulatory committees.

As the blame game starts, as politicos start to distance themselves from the very policies that contributed to the failures, expect more of our tax dollars to be spent on CYA activities. That's liberal speak for 'plausible deniability.' House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was first out of the gate, announcing the launch of an investigation of Wall Street. This should make for good theater, if you're into sound and fury that signifies nothing.

When the dust finally settles, the federal government will have ever more power over the housing industry, the mortgage industry and the banking industry. Next up will most likely be the airline industry. All justified under the rubric of protecting the American people. The question never asked is: What government program, other than the military, works?

Most American's don't have to spend millions of dollars, summon legions of experts, and study the vast intricacies of the latest politically correct theory on how the market works in order to see the obvious. Most of us know we just need to get politics, politicians and our tax dollars out of the private market, and allow it to work. Its called capitalism.
