After watching a youtube video with her announcing that Raines was a great man with the agencies (Fannie Mae I believe) and that Fannie and Freddie weren't "broken" and didn't need to be fixed, I have always questioned her qualifications to be on the Financial Services Committee. Obviously the Financial Services committee did not heed the warnings given to them years before the financial meltdown. Anyone with common sense knew it was going to fail due to the loose guidelines etc. It didn't take a rocket scientist. Who knows what influence her husband's association with a bank had on her decisions? Only she knows. However, we need to allow her the right to defend herself if she wishes. That is what our country is all about. Permalinkadd a comment | go to forum thread
