You're not understanding what I'm saying. It was in their pocket for years and played at their right time. They could've played it before or later. They would look so horrible with Obama's messianic campaign ending in a crucifixion without resurrection that it had to be done. Fannie/Freddie cried for help along with the Layman brothers at just the right time.
Again, how was this "in their pocket for years" when:
a) during the time period you described the GOP had firm majorities in the House and Senate, plus Bush in the White House; and
b) how would the Democrats prepare in 2003-5 for "Obama's messianic campaign" when Obama wasn't even in the Senate for most this period, let alone a presidential candidate.
You really,
really need to step back and take a few deep breaths before posting again.
