Now that Barack Obama has won his bid for the White House, Americans should get ready to learn some inconvenient truths about him and the folks surrounding the president-elect that media have safely hidden from the public in order to promote his messiah-like image.

If management is cooking the books to meet numbers, chances are they're also cooking them for the board of directors. There's no way that board members saw the internal books ahead of time that were flagged in the accounting investigation by the regulator.

 

Of course, that doesn't excuse Freddie of stacking its board with many friendlies.

Seeing that the GSE's didn't begin to expand their subprime exposure until after Emanuel left Freddie, it's hard to see how he's tied to the current collapse.

 

This document is ironic reading, however:

 

"OFHEO cautions, 'new types of lending may pose unusual risks and may not be as profitable' as expected, however.” :w00t:
