Fannie and Freddie have been creations of the congressional Democrats and the Clinton White House, designed to make mortgages available to more people and, as it turns out, some people who couldn't afford them.

Fannie and Freddie have also been places for big Washington Democrats to go to work in the semi-private sector and pocket millions. The Clinton administration's White House Budget Director Franklin Raines ran Fannie and collected $50 million. Jamie Gorelick ?? Clinton Justice Department official ?? worked for Fannie and took home $26 million. Big Democrat Jim Johnson, recently on Obama's VP search committee, has hauled in millions from his Fannie Mae CEO job.

Now remember: Obama's ads and stump speeches attack McCain and Republican policies for the current financial turmoil. It is demonstrably not Republican policy and worse, it appears the man attacking McCain ?? Sen. Obama ?? was at the head of the line when the piggies lined up at the Fannie and Freddie trough for campaign bucks.

Sen. Barack Obama: No. 2 on the Fannie/Freddie list of favored politicians after just four short years in the Senate.

Like I've said before, Obama could shit in the middle of the road and some would say "what a beautiful pile of enviromentally safe material".

Have a good one!:s4:
Ha ha! You keep making the case that Obama recieved contributions --- there's no argument there. They both took contributions from the industry. But it's McCain who actually took action to deregulate these industires and create the environment where these problems could develop.
