Title: Fannie and Freddie contributions to Obama
Post by: Bindare_Dundat on September 16, 2008, 11:53:47 PM

Obama just listed Fannie & Freddie as big donors to McCain in a speech in Colorado but Obama is #2 recipient Fannie Mae political contributions  - total $126K in his short career as a US Senator. John McCain in his ENTIRE US Senate career - $20K.


1. Dodd, Christopher J $133,900


3. Kerry, John $111,000

Or two of Obama's chief economic aids were Freddie/Fannie people including Raines who had to leave under a cloud after making over 100 Mil.
