It's been a bad time for mortgage companies and few know that better than Freddie Mac CFO Anthony Piszel. Piszel is having a real estate crisis of his own, the NY Post's Gimme Shelter column reports that he has put his luxury home in posh Easton, Maryland on the market. The home is a Georgian style brick mansion on 4.5 gated acres on Maxmore Creek. It includes guest quarters an inground heated pool with brick patio and detached 3 car garage. There are six bedrooms, six baths, formal dining and living rooms, a cherry-paneled den, game/media room and a kitchen that seems rather basic except for the impressively large range. It is listed at $4.975 million.

He wants to make sure he gets all of his funds offshore before the dung hits the wind !!!! I say someone should shoot the bastard before he can get away !!!!! We all know the politicians are gonna make sure he gets a head start !!! Gotta take care of their own !!

Another ignoramous with an ability to type. Obama just happened to SEE and speak out against this crap and everyone codemns him for being an "elitist!" Here's a man who says, "Enough is enough," and you throw sarcasm at his face. The McCain camp has tossed you garbage to prevent you from permitting Obama to bring the Republican's policies to task and you condone it by your very own comment. The rich and powerful have destroyed what God intended with humanity and Obama, in his meek way, is at least trying to slow it down. Go ahead and condemn Obama, but when McCain buries this nation under his deceitful disguise as a "reformer," you'll remember Obama and wished you'd given him the chance.

I hear alot of talk about CEO making to much money.That should fall to the shareholders to vote them out if they are doing a bad job.Look how much Sports stars make and movie stars. These people make far more per year than most CEO make. And the Sports stars cry about how bad they have it and that they might go on strike. WTF talk about people getting rich off the average joe. Its the Sports Stars that do that selling shoes shirts and what ever else they endorse be it good or bad.

Something smells fishy in Alaska!

History repeats itself. Just as Nixon and the Republican

party stone walled the Watergate investigation till after the

elections. Now Mccain and Palin are stone walling the Troopergate

investigation. Trying to delay the bad news that will come from the

investigation. If Mccain and Palin gets elected. Palin would be the

first woman VP and the first Vice President to get impeached.

What are they trying to hide??? If they have nothing to hide, why hide?

Lets not repeat the Nixon/Agnew embarrassment.

I would not shed any tears for this CFO. I don't think he will be sleeping on the sidewalk soon.

This is obviously NOT his main residence, but a weekend getaway place, close to DC.

Either he wants some quick cash in case of legal fee's (DC lawyers do NOT come cheap), or he possibly is moving from the DC area and wants to get rid of an extra asset.

CFO's watch their own money first and foremost even if they "get fired" or investigated.

Having lived in the DC all my life, I laugh at calling Easton posh. It is a town becoming a little "chic" because of all the "new rich weekenders".

The Eastern Shore of Maryland, has been getting many wealthy DC big wigs, building weekend homes, including VP Dick Cheney.

This is NOT the most palatial home in that area by far, but decent. Since he left his company with huge debts, maybe the IRS should sieze the house to pay off some of the tab the GOVT is picking up.

Kitchen is just so-so.
Furniture is "NO-NO!"
Red brick is so boring.

Poor, poor, overpaid executive....I would love the pool at that house, but you can have the rest. Ugly and ostentacious. If the guy had put some of his huge paycheck AWAY rather than spending it all on that stupidly expensive house, he wouldn't BE in this situation.

i was watching a very complex CNN show last night (21Sept2008) and the bottom line was that both these Senators have been in office during a prolonged period of job loss and neither has that spectacular a record on supporting jobs in America. I think both of them are weak when it comes to the economy and why JOBS are the first step to anything else. the CNN panelists were regular people from normal backgrounds. even though they weren't all the same political party, they did agree on what was needed to fix the underlying issues. i found their consensus refreshing. very different from the candidates double talk.

I agree with #2 Shallie!!!!

Ellen Sep 22nd 2008 11:32AM

Well...I hope were not supposed to feel sorry for him!

Get The Fact Straight....Barney Frank!

For many years the President and his Administration have not only warned of the systemic consequences of financial turmoil at a housing government-sponsored enterprise (GSE) but also put forward thoughtful plans to reduce the risk that either Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac would encounter such difficulties. President Bush publicly called for GSE reform 17 times in 2008 alone before Congress acted.

Unfortunately, these warnings went unheeded, as the President's repeated attempts to reform the supervision of these entities were thwarted by the legislative maneuvering of those who emphatically denied there were problems.

This does not, however, relieve George Bush from his complicity in the financial crisis. When he ultimately went along with Congress and approved giving more money to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to dole out to people that had absolutely no business at all being home owners - they lacked the financial resources and lacked the personal financial management skills - he joined them in their socialist/Marxist agenda and their crime against the American taxpayer.

On the other hand, in 2005, Senator John McCain partnered with three other Senate Republicans to reform the government's involvement in lending. Democrats also blocked this reform. McCain has consistently been against government over-regulation of business - we are, after all, a capitalism-based democracy - but he has consistently warned of the problems associated with Fannie and Freddie and the Democratic leadership's management of the House Financial Services Committee Chairman (as in Barney Frank) and the Senate banking committee (as in Chris Dodd).
