He’s President-elect Barack Obama’s new chief of staff, according to various Nov. 6 media reports, but Rep. Rahm Emanuel, D-Ill., also has some baggage pertaining to the financial crisis. Will anyone in the media take note?

Emanuel, who was a senior adviser for former President Bill Clinton throughout the 1990s, was appointed to the board of Freddie Mac upon his departure from the Clinton administration.

“Clinton’s going-away gift to Emanuel was a seat on the quasi-governmental Freddie Mac board, which paid him $231,655 in director’s fees in 2001 and $31,060 in 2000,â€

Hey all of them that blocked regulation of Fannie Mae and Freddie mac were re-elected. The electorate is just plain ignorant.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. I will pay any main stream media reporter $1000 if they write about it. In other words they would never write negative stories about the Messiah or his disciples.
