Fact Check: "Obama tried to reign-in Freddie Mack and Fannie May in 2006"
Fox News | 10/6/08 | vanity

Posted on 10/06/2008 2:23:54 PM PDT by pabianice

Fact check needed. That red-haired Obama Suck-up is on Fox proclaiming that in 2006 Obama introduced legistation in the US Senate to rein-in and better control sub-prime loans backed by Fannie May and Freddie Mack. Can anyone corroberate this or is this just another Obama lie? (I also note that she looks rather distressed at the moment -- a result of today's wailing of Obama by McCain and Palin?)

He used to be The One but he added Biden

That would make him a negative number then. But I guess "The -8" does not quite roll off the tongue like "The Zero."

he "contacted Paulson"

The treasury secretary does not originate legislation - though he might propose it. Congress does. You know. Folks like O. They get out a keyboard, and type out proposal for legislation, pass it around, see if they can get cosponsors, and then propose it in committee.

Obama said:

... “if action is not taken to further “ *ease*{decrease} the availability of low interest high-risk loans.”

He did NOT say:

‘increase’ the availability of low interest high-risk loans
... or did I miss something?

Honestly? Please, is that a real letter? Could this be the single document in question?

A number of follows (posts following) but this poster is asking for a source and statement.

Does this letter represent the letter Biden referred to in his debate with Palin?

Is this for realsies? How can I find letters like this, go to community college and take photoshop 110?

The link is missing, broke or being re-negotiated. Seems some body is working on it (the letter)?

Joe Biden is The Negative One as he proved at the debate and many times on the campaign trail. But the media is more concerned about what Sarah Palin reads than Joe believing Roosevelt went on TV in 1929, asking paraplegics to stand up, and imagining he is a regular guy chatting with constituents in a restaurant named Katie's that was closed almost 20 years ago. There you go again Joe.

Yeah, wasn’t it a two sentence letter? ... I saw that thing and thought how easy it would be to forge such a letter now. Paulson would cooperate with a fraud, given Paulson’s recent favoring Obama, in the finance summit invitation to the White House when Paulson sent the Republican sticking points to him in advance, privately. Paulson is as treacherous a man as has ever hissed about a White House.

Should have asked her what the bill number was and who were the co-sponsors.

Hey cut the media a little slack. Look at the horde of reporters who descended on the southside of Chicago after Obama cinched the Dem nomination. They worked night and day to find out the truth about Obama.

IIRC, he said he sent a letter.

I don’t think he’s produced it yet.

Oh...and I don’t believe it.

If he had, he would be able to physically prove it.
He hasn’t thus far.
