The audio is here. I think it is about 30 to 45 min. long and the RE lady is probably past the 1/2 way point.

That's dated March 22, 2007.

He's only concerned about the foreclosures and "predatory lending practices" and not the effect on the overall economy.

Obama isn’t actually member of the Committee on Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs either.

he was caught on this before - http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/07/23/obama-incorrectly-claims-membership-of-senate-committee/

That's more about mortgage fraud and throwing a bone to the lawyers than anything else. (nuthin to do with Fannie or Freddie)
