The first one that we will introduce you to is Jim Johnson. Mr. Johnson was a lobbyist, US representative of a former African prime minister, former CEO of Fannie Mae, business partner with former Clinton UN Ambassador Richard Holbrooke, and other things. Read on.
Mr. Johnson was a former CEO of Fannie Mae, who has promised to raise Obama between $100k and $200k. Johnson left in 1998. That wasn't a good year for Fannie Mae, according to the Post:
An Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight report in September accused the company of improperly deferring $200 million of estimated expenses in 1998, which allowed management to receive full annual bonuses. Had the expenses been recorded that year, no bonuses would have been paid, the report said.
In other words, he stole money from shareholders and put it in his own pocket.
In 2006 and 2007, he was a foreign agent for a former Prime Minister of Senegal.
Now, Mr. Johnson isn't exactly a practitioner of new politics. From his own biography:
From 1977 to 1981, Mr. Johnson was Executive Assistant to Vice President Walter F. Mondale, where he advised the Vice President on domestic and foreign policy and political matters. Earlier, he was employed by the Dayton Hudson Corporation, worked as a staff member in the U.S. Senate, and was on the faculty of Princeton University.
So one of Barack Obama's bundlers cheated shareholders out of money, represented foreign leaders, and was a Carter(!) administration official.
Just what America needs more of close to a President.

Cindy McCain got her money from her father who was partners with a mafioso who had a reporter killed. |

Have you mocked Bob Dole for that? Because I never saw any Democrats mock his purple heart in the 96 campaign. Quote: Bob Dole was not hospitalized for his first Purple Heart either. "It was just a scratch," Dole later recalled. "I think one of our grenades hit a tree and bounced back. When Bob Dole Said No (washingtonpost.com) |
