Who would write such naked lies.

The last paragraph describing how Cuomo put a gun to the head of Fannie and Freddie to force more bad loans directly contradicts the previous four claiming he tried many ways to prevent bad loans.

It's like: Cuomo warned that the IED were buried under the road. Cuomo warned that they could be triggered remotely via cell phones. Cuomo warned that if exploded, it could result in many deaths. Cuomo built, buried and dialed the number to detonate his IED as a transport passed over resulting in many deaths.

Should Cuomo be commended for trying many ways to save lives lost to his own IED?

It does read like an Onion article. But what is going on here? It almost looks like he's just baiting critics to come after him on the issue. It's right there before our eyes, but he would love to have the debate be about whether NAMs and efforts to put NAMs in houses they couldn't afford were central to the housing crisis. He is betting that he's unassailable on that point.

Still, the Times article is a pretty good piece when you read it to the end. It gives you the gist of the contradiction if somewhat euphemistically.

Since good intent, especially where non-whites are concerned, counts for a lot, more than actual results really, it's not surprising he can still throw his hat in the ring for higher office. Besides, it's not his fault they stopped paying their mortgages.

Not enough people today seem to remember and take to heart 'The Peter Principle', which often does explain a lot. A corollary might be that in politics it takes longer than otherwise; how long is probably directly proportional to how much politically correct nonsense you utter or try to implement.
