In the twisty world of home buying, especially at a time like this, one needs a guiding hand past the pitfalls of high points and rates.
Congress, in its usual tizzy, leapt into the breach headfirst, only to find some of it’s members actually have experience in such matters.

Believe me it is highly unusual for congress to know what it is doing.

For starters, I thought the Democrats stole a march on the GOP in gathering vital information. Not so, a GOP minion sneaked in to make this bipartisan.
Risking everything, these stalwarts surreptitiously secured subprime loans through Countrywide Financial to help the American public see the dangers of such actions.

This is why I’m convinced Congress will clamor for the following to step forward and share the details:

1. James Johnson (D)-Obama Veep Selection
2. Senator Kent Conrad (D)-N.D.
3. Donna Shalala-(D)-HHS Secretary- scheduled to receive a Presidential Medal of Freedom on June 19
4. Senator Chris Dodd-(D)-CT.
5. Richard Holbrooke (D)-Asst Secretary of State-Adviser to Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign
6. Alphonso Jackson (R)-HUD Secretary

With great stealth and fortitude these individuals baffled Angelo Mozilo, conning him into adding their names to his “Friends of Angelo” list.

Let the press herald their struggle, disseminate their names far and wide.

Well Jackson is a Republican, they are free to report his work.

Note:
Federal employees are prohibited from receiving gifts offered because of their official position, including loans on terms not generally available to the public. Senate rules prohibit members from knowingly receiving gifts worth $100 or more in a calendar year from private entities that, like Countrywide, employ a registered lobbyist.
