Where was Obama on this??? Democrats were busy blocking this. Democrats and Obama did nothing. Now Obama bitches after the Financial Markets collapses. McCain and Bush and the GOP were trying to fix these problems with Fannie and Freddie back in 2003, 2004, 2005, and 2006.

Fannie and Freddie is a DemocRAT fiasco. For them to try to blame it on anyone else is criminal.

This is good. Rush alluded to this today. I hope McCain puts this out so the msm will have trouble avoiding it.

but but Obama said mccain doesn’t understand the economy and doesn’t get it!!!
We know Obama is an expert on the economy because he gave a speech about change and hope.

Let him keep yapping.

This needs to be McCain’s next commercial. The real candidate of reform proposed a solution - and the alleged party of reform blocked it.

Actually, McCain did bring this up in a network interview yesterday - along with the fact that Obama got a lot of money from Fannie Mae people.

Wow!

No wonder they gave money to Obama!

John McCain had already called them out.

This is big stuff. McCain today said that Bambi missed the vote on this as he was too busy on the road.

Not present is that like voting here?

They ARE working the reform angle, and it is working.

They will give the knock out during the debates and afterward.

And the disaster has the DNA signature of this dumbass all over it. He and the FannieMae multi-millionaires - Janet Reno's girlfriend Jamie Carpetlick and nObama's economic advisor Frank Raines, to name two - should all be frogmarched down to isolation cages at Gitmo.
