Rick Davis' ties to Freddie/Fannie v. Jim Johnson! M$M, do your fucking job!!
I am so pissed off about this revelation about Rick Davis' ties to Freddie/Fannie!

What pisses me off to no end is that McSame just ran an ad last week accusing Obama of being in bed with Jim Johnson, who was a member of his VP exploratory committee. Well, Johnson was indirectly connected to Freddie Mac. His relationship with Freddie wasn't shady or unethical at all. However, when it was discovered that he did have this relationship, he stepped down from the team and has no advisory role in the Obama campaign. Still, the M$M lambasted the Obama campaign for having Johnson, who was also involved in Gore and Kerry's VP selection committee.

Now here we have Rick Davis who was DIRECTLY involved in loan schemes with Freddie and Fannie!! Will the M$M do its job as it did when it came to Jim Johnson? I won't hold my breath. Is Rick Davis being forced to step down from McSame's campaign? Is McSame, himself, being subjected to media scrutiny for having Davis, Schudiman (sp?), Charlie Black, and Phil Gramm on his team? Of course not!

Once again, we need to contact the media and ask them do to their jobs.

5. I know that the Times reported it today but it needs to be on the T.V.
As Randi Rhodes often states, "if it didn't happen on the T.V., it didn't happen!"

The pundits should be discussing this and slamming McSame for his role in the downturn of the economy. Yes, they make mention Rick Davis or Phil Gramm, but they don't seem to hammer away at their ties to McSame. And yet, we're STILL hearing about Rezko, even though it has been proven over and over again that Obama did nothing wrong! The M$M continues to allow McSame to run these filthy ads trying to tie Rezko to Obama or Ayers to Obama and they don't do their jobs as far as tying all these shady, criminal lobbyists to McSame!!

Published: September 21, 2008
Senator John McCain’s campaign manager was paid more than $30,000 a month for five years as president of an advocacy group set up by the mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to defend them against stricter regulations, current and former officials say.
