Millionaire Jim Johnson Has To Leave Obama's Team

Jim Johnson, former CEO of Fannie Mae (where he once made $21 million in a single year *cough*) has been around Washington for a while. He helped to vet VP candidates for Walter Mondale, John Kerry and, if that wasn't enough for the resume, he also "received favorable loan terms from lender Countrywide Financial Corp., a firm Obama has criticized for contributing to the home mortgage crisis." It was The Wall Street Journal's revelation of the last item that led to Johnson "stepping down" (read: being thrown under the bus like granny) from Barrack Obama's VP vetting committee, though having Mondale and Kerry as references would have been enough for me.

Of course, when something like this happens somebody inevitably makes some obvious insight the turns out to be my favorite tag of the entire affair:

“Jim Johnson’s resignation raises serious questions about Barack Obama’s judgment,” spokesman Tucker Bounds said in a statement, adding “the American people have reason to question the judgment of a candidate who has shown he will only make the right call when under pressure from the news media. America can’t afford a president who flip-flops on key questions in the course of 24 hours.”

What? B. H. Obama has poor judgment? Seriously, do we really need any more examples to demonstrate that Obama makes George Armstrong Custer seem battle savvy? I know the world needs a Messiah, but I'm baffled how people can follow this guy.
