You are aware that Raines has disavowed that he ever worked as an adviser to the obama Campaign... Aren't you?

So let's say that this dude did give advice to Obama, does that mean that somehow Obama is partly responsible for the Fannie Mae downfall? Why is there so much "guilty by ociation" accusations being thrown around with this? That's the GOP for you. However, what they don't tell you is that McCain's campaign manager was the pres. of an advocacy group that defended Fannie and Freddie against gov't regulation, or that at least 20 of McCain's fundraisers and advisers were lobbyists for the companies, yet, I don't hold McCain responsible for the downfall of those companies. Again, that's the GOP for you.
