- At some point, this Countrywide Mortgage scandal is going to cost pols dearly. But of course that won’t happen until the news media stops trying to not rain on Obama’s coronation. This story with Dodd, [7] were this a Republican would be wall to wall on ever channel 24*7 on the cables, and would be a major election issue for Obama. this is all particularly true given the milage that Obama and his fellow democrats were getting out of lambasting Countrywide for it’s part of the housing credit crisis of a few months ago. As it is, with the facts coming out that the Democrats were up to their eyeballs in the soup with Countrywide, and hence part of the problem, we have silence on thepart of the big three, and reluctatnt mentions of the thing from MSNBC and CNN. One gets the impression that they’re concerned what else might be revealed… a concern, that, were they convinced Republcians were involved primarily, would be non-extsiant.
