Oh! Oh! Somebody needs impeachment and/or firing immediately if not sooner. Fannie and Freddie is our money and should not be spent in political campaigns. Throw those bums out, NOW!

This is the great "less gov" is "good gov" jerks that should be arrested and thrown in jail! Our economy has been for 8 years in a Repub sponsored, BS bubble that is fueled by greed, corruption and fear. Impeach Bush and Cheney and send the Bas..rds to jail! They have ruined our posture and status in the world (the rest of the world laughs at us for letting them run us) and they ripped us all off for decades to come!

So vote as many of these
skum out of office
every chance you get.

This includes REPUBLICANS
and DEMOCRATS.

Send the old ones to china
to work for pennies on the dollar.

If so many Americans weren''t in
such awe and fear of these thugs
we''d all be in better shape.

It is ALWAYS the financial industry that gets America into trouble - and for every Republican like Leach who cared enough about his nation to try to curtail their corruption, there are nine other Republicans singing and dancing on the deregulation chorus line.

Inevitably to America''''s regret.

And the privatization and profiteering chorus line. The key words are "limited government oversight"

I expected no more from these greedy scumbags. "overstating earnings by more than $10 billion to maximize bonuses." Sound''s worthy of some jail time to me.
