Granted, I know it was wasted keystrokes, but it did feel good to throw a jab for once.
Thanks!
Yeah, those totals are for 1989 - 2008, meaning Dodd and Kerry had a LOT more tenure (re: opportunity) to obtain campaign funds. Obama surpassed Hillary by $30,000, and fast!!!!!
And who vetted Biden for 0bama Why none other than the chairman of Fannie Mae.
bump to the top for more Democratic Corruption.
Guess we won’t see this on the front of the Washington Post
There may not be enough time for CNN and MSNBC to report the fact that the Agent of Change raked in over $100,000 from Fannie and Fred. I did learn, however, that Sarah wrote Bilical passages in her yearbook messages. STOP THE PRESSES!
And Senator Obama is certainly, um, "gifted" - gifted to the tune of $105,000.
Well I’m sure that we’ll see this all over the MSM tommorow morning!!!
BWHAHAHA!! I jest, I jest.
Actually they’re doing DNA test on her pet’s trying to create some scandal about some half man/ half cat boy that was a product of time served as Mayor of Wasilla when she actually wanted by Mexican authorities for killing children and not harvesting their stemm cells.

We can hope that Snobami jumps all over this like he tried with his earmark complaints about Sarah.

"This is not a time to be panicking about this. These are viable, strong institutions," Sen. Christopher Dodd, D-Conn., said at a Capitol Hill press conference.
"The economics are fine in these institutions and people need to know that," Dodd said. There's no reason "to talk about failure," he added.
WOW, Obama managed to soar to #3 on the list even though he is such a newcomer......
The entire Board of Trusties of both companies should be arrested and their assets seized for defrauding the tax payers of America. Have you even look to see who is on the board. Its shocking to say the very least.
Bush a fiscal conservative??? LOL! Try a fiscal socialist.
Did you check this thread?
Lots of graft here.
To the tune of $797,000 according to the WSJ.
So, not only is Obama one of the top recipients of Freddie/Fannie, but so is ACORN, where he so proudly "served" as a Community Activist... Nothing to see here.
ping
Note to Sen. Dodd: Make our day.
Everyone who recieved campaign contributions from the two should immediately contribute those funds to the treasury’s general fund.
