More Hope & Change... Obama Collected $105,849 From Freddie & Fannie

That didn't take long...

After having served less than 4 years in the US Senate and spending most of that time campaigning, Barack Obama was still able to collect $105,849 from mortgage giants Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae.

No wonder he took such a liking to Jim Johnson and Frankin Raines.

Barack Obama spoke out about the mortgage crisis today:

The era of greed and irresponsibility on Wall Street and in Washington has created a financial crisis...

The failed economic policies and the same corrupt culture that led us into this mess will not help get us out of it. We need to get to work immediately on reforming the broken government -- and the broken politics -- that allowed this crisis to happen in the first place.

...If we work together and stand by these principles, we can get through this crisis and emerge a stronger nation.

Barack Obama
PS- Please don't ask me to return any of that fat Fannie Mae cash lining my pockets.
-Barack Obama

In answer to your question, Free ThinkerNY, until the collapse and take-over, both these institutions were (in theory) private corporations. What they did was political and questionable, but not felonious.

I addressed that in my latest column, written and posted today. See second link, below.

Apparently McCain does not want to win. All he has to do is let voters know the truth about the credit debacle. Democrat/government engineered affirmative action lending plus relationship between Freddie/Fannie & Dems. Obama & Dems up in the past week only because voters blaming this on Republicans. Get the truth out and Republicans more than regain the lead.

Oh snap! Why is it so hard for the American people to connect the dots per se?

So being responsible for the possible collapes of the US economy is not felonious? I don’t want one dime of my money going for this bailout. Not one friggin dime!

This pretty much explains why Sen Obama didn’t want to return to Washington, DC. He doesn’t want to face the music. Because he can’t dance! He has no musical talent, at all.

Sen Obama has no talents. All he can do is orate, caliphate, and poop in his drawers. He’s kind of like a dog or a cat. Eat, sleep, bark or meow, and poop. Over and over and over. The difference between a litter and a human baby is that you take the unwanted litter to the ASPCA or Animal Shelter and you can stick a sharp object into the skull of an unwanted human baby and kill it as it’s being born.

Come to think of it, Sen Obama is not a dog or cat person. He wouldn’t know what to do with an unwanted litter if the mama dog or mama cat decided she didn’t want to be bothered.

Interesting subject and time for me to think about going to sleep.
