Funny, but the media doesn't much seem interested. Have a look through recent history and ask why these criminals aren't being held accountable. More at Hot Air.

According to Obama he was not a presicent whistleblower and not a promoter of Fannie Mae and was the scurge of corporate CEOs. So, why did he appoint Jim Johnson as his veep vetter? Why did he become the #2 recipient in the senate of Fannie Mae money over the last decade when he's only been in the senate for a few years?

Bill Conlin: Watching Phillies, Eagles games didn't go exactly according to plan

Philadelphia Inquirer (Free subscription) | 06/10/2008

THEY WERE good plans, mine and Andy Reid's. The Eagles would throw Jim Johnson's latest blitz packages at gifted but still inexperienced Redskins quarterback Jason Campbell and stuff the run. Donovan McNabb and back-in-the-saddle Brian Westbrook would establish order and control. The Eagles would win a low-scoring game from the team that shocked the Cowboys at home last Sunday, restoring a semblance...

Skins Spot Philly 14, Then Soar 23-3

Beale Street Beat (Free subscription) | yesterday

... Certainly, the offense’s slow start made sense. I’ve had respect (bordering on fear or terror) for Jim Johnson’s defensive schemes for many years. This may be one of the most talented defenses that this mastermind has had in a long while. Even the early special teams malfunction made a certain sense what with an inexperienced punter. But the Eagle offense looked great as well ripping off...

... Barber or the Steelers' Willie Parker or the Bears' Matt Forte - had escaped the green swarm Jim Johnson's defense had become.Apparently, no one had informed the Redskins' Clinton Portis of the way the Birds had been chewing up running backs. He gashed the Eagles time and again until he had amassed 145 yards, including a 4-yard touchdown early in the fourth quarter when no one put a hand...

To get that kind of reputation, it takes great success, but it also takes a certain intestinal fortitude, to look at risky situations as giant opportunities. It was dangerous, all it would take was one miscue by the Redskins for the...

It gets worse. 2. I would just add the following to Steve's excellent "How to explain Fannie & Freddie simply and in 30 seconds or less": Executive compensation: Franklin Raines ( Obama adviser and Fannie CEO 1999-2004): $90 million Jim Johnson ( Obama adviser and Fannie CEO 1991-1998): $21 million in 1998 alone — which, as Byron has detailed , was initially concealed from the public) (I haven't...

... he's not part of the pay to play game even though he tasked former Fannie and Lehman bigshot Jim Johnson to find him a VP. Besides, his populist class warfare segues so nicely with his quasi-socialist platform. His speeches are generally harsher on American corporations than on al Qaeda, but hey--it's working! Age-old political axiom--people vote their pocketbooks. The media help won't hurt....
