Looks like the MSM is hot on the trail of the cause of the financial meltdown: Republicans!

Lies and damned lies

This was debunked when the NYSlimes reported it, so now Newsweak will give it a try.

One senior McCain adviser said the entire flap could have been avoided if the campaign had resisted attacking Barack Obama for his ties to two former Fannie Mae executives, which prompted the media to take a second look at Davis. "It was stupid," the adviser said. "

Amazing, that fact that the media is looking at Davis because McCain campaign pointed out the Obama conflict of interest.

And Jim Johnson the CEO that ran Fannie Mae into the ground on Obama’s team?

Move along, nothing to see here.

Newsweek has been in the tank a LONG time.

And where is the report that Obama’s campaign has directly received over $48.000 per year from Fannie Mae? Newsweek is straining at a gnat and swallowing a donkey. If we are going to compare the money that campaign advisers have received, Obama’s adviser Franklin Delano Raines received over $90M in six years.

Remarkably, the $126,000 in Fannie Mae donations to the Obama campaign go completely unmentioned.

This is really getting tedious. The only thing that was missing from this story was an Obama voiceover telling us that he approves of it.

Funny how you can tell from the thread title that it is from an MSM source. No MSM headline would ever knit Obama’s brow.

$15 grand a month over two years is $360M for services rendered. Raines took $25 million for cooking the books!

Again, I ask; HOW many MILLIONS of dollars did Obama Campagin employees, Jim Johnson and Frank Raines, former CEO’s of FANNIE MAE get when they left the troubled financial giant? They got a golden parachute, right into the Obama campaign!

thats good of you to point out. If you agree with it and are so against McCain then maybe you will be happy when Obama rapes the taxpayers, guts the DOD to extend his social welfare state to the nation. You need to get a clue or get out of America.

I’ve got a secret...

If any Obama trolls are around, I suggest you tell him to throw his Fannie crew under the bus before Monday.

Trust me.

Please ignore the fact that Obama, Kerry, and Chris Dodd are numbers 1, 2, and 3 on the Fannie/Freddy campaign funds gravy train.

Sheesh. If the media were any more disingenuously Probama, they'd have to be regulated under campaign finance rules.
