This makes the fact that they failed to do any during the 2 years leading up to the election of the Empty Suit all the more objectionable. Mainstream news organizations like ABC deserve our derision.

If federal regulators and independent auditors don't identify problems in a company's operations, you can't expect board members to do any better. Board members aren't necessary finance experts. These organizations ultimately failed because of their massive subprime loan portfolios- not because of the accounting irregularities that plagued both Fannie and Freddie for years.
