Who knows the problem better than a former Freddie board member who helped to create this whole mess?
Rahm helped create the mess that got the Chairman elected. Of course Maobama is going to reward him with this job. |
...nah. I don't think that matters. He was on the board in what, 2000 and 2001? That's not all that bad when the problems really got cooking in '02, '03 and '04.
I think one of his roles is that he is staunchly pro Israel. That's a big part of why he's there.
