Having a bunch of people in the White House who know GSE shareholders are being screwed, and they choose to say or do nothing about it - is not in my opinion anything to be optimistic about. It tells me they couldn't care less about investors, the rule of law or being fair. I think that is a bad thing.
The good news is that all jobs in the White House are temp jobs, so maybe in a few months we will have a new batch of people who DO care about doing the right thing. Yeah, that's the ticket.
I think we have enough people in the white house who know GSE shareholders got screwed to warrant optimism.
