BARACK OBAMA

Indefensible

Unsurprisingly, the talking points distributed by the Obama campaign in response to the Jim Johnson controversy include a lot of "hey, look at that McCain adviser!" and nothing regarding Johnson's $21-million-in-one-year compensation as CEO of Fannie Mae.

If Obama keeps using the darn-those-greedy-CEOs lines in his speeches, could he at least insert the disclaimer, "except for CEOs who work on my veep selection committee"?

UPDATE: In those talking points is the line, "Barack Obama understands what homeowners are going through." Of course. That's why he had convicted felon Tony Rezko help him buy his house.
