Three men who pulled down Wall Street, former Fannie Mae executives Franklin Raines, Jim Johnson & Tim Howard got Golden Parachutes of $20 to 190 million, now: Raines works for the Obama Campaign as Chief Economic Advisor; Howard is also a Chief Economic Advisor to Obama, & Johnson was hired as a Senior Obama Finance Advisor and selected to run Obama's Vice Presidential Search Committee! IF OBAMA PLANS ON CLEANING UP THE MESS - HIS ADVISORS HAVE THE EXPERTISE - THEY MADE THE MESS IN THE FIRST PLACE. Would you trust the men who tore Wall Street down to build the New Wall Street?

spinning this as a democratic failure is laughable. The dems and repubs were supposed to deliver half their constituency (the safe seats) to vote for this because it is unpopular. THe dems that voted against it like Loretta Sanchez HAD PERMISSION to vote against it. Republicans couldn't deliver their half even with Bush and Paulson begging and McCain taking credit for "bringing the party together" on the weekend talk shows! The stock market today basically invalidated the stupid republican position that they were going to "Call Paulson's bluff". They sure did that, the fools. Now watch all the whining and crying from the same people against the bailout as they lose their jobs. Mccain fell another 10 pts today, and North Carolina the banking capital of the US is going to go Obama, for sure now.
