Former Dallas Mayor Tom Leppert, one of the half dozen or so Republicans running in the primary to replace retiring Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison next year, has a problem on his hands.

Business Insider Reports: Hedge fund legend George Soros says bailing out countries alone won’t solve Europe’s sovereign debt crisis and, instead, the region’s bailout fund needs to be used to support its banks. He believes that if Europe doesn’t take control of its banks then it will “suffer something worse than a lost decade.” Soros emphasized that allowing... 

Jamie Gorelick, a former Clinton administration official who reportedly has made the Obama administration’s short list to become the next director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), was paid more than $26 million in total compensation as a top executive at Fannie Mae–before taxpayers had to bail out the mortgage giant.
