Dodd, Franks, Reid. Obama talks about change, but all I see is more of the same with these losers retaining their current appointments. Fire the lot of them. In private industry they would be shown the door immediately, if not sooner.

The community Reinvestment Act was a Carter brain storm in 1977 it nearly took us down then.It was made easier in 1989 then scooped up by Clinton in 1992 again in 1994 again in 1995 and in November 1999 each time making it easier for minorities and immigrants to borrow money, finally in 2005 Barney Franks and the Democrats got it to no down payment what so every and non Qualifying.In 2008 Osama managed to blame George Bush for the sub prime melt down.But look at the voting records Bush wasn't even around for the first 25 years this went on.This was Chris Dodds fault he was the Chairman of the banking and housing affairs commity.He was the one who let Franklin Raines lose 250 Billion for Freddie mac and get a 90 million dollars salary to do it.Then he allowed James Johnson as CEO of Fannie Mae to lose another 200 Billion at get paid 50 million for his accoplishments.But thank god we got Harry Reid and the US Senate to over see them and blame Bush for it Opps! I forgot Bush doesn't have a vote in the Senate.

DODD AND FRANK SHOULD RESIGN AFTER ACCEPTING THE LARGEST CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTIONS FROM FNMA WHICH STARTED THIS WHOLE MESS AND THEN COVERING FOR THEM.
IF THE DEMS DON'T FACE UP TO THIS, THEY WILL SUFFER THE SAME FATE IN 2 YEARS THAT THE REPUBLICANS JUST WENT THRU..EVERYONE, DON'T FORGET AND WATCH HOW THE DEMOCRATS HANDLE THEIR MESS.

Dodd and Frank should both go to jail for the Fannie and Freddie fiasco. Of course now that
Washington is awash in the light of the Obamessiah that surely won't occur. They seem to just get away with it. The media says nothing while our economy tanks. Not looking forward to the next 4 years that's for sure.

So the office of the President is undergoing change. When will Congress? There is still a system of corruption and ineptitude that needs to be purged. Until it is removed like the cancerous growth that it is, change in one branch of the government will not be effective.
Rewarding this nimrod with the same job which he botched sends a wonderful message. Lousy democrats, everyone will suffer because you will not man up to what you have to do.
