Also, can we please remind ourselves what actual lawmakers received political donations from Freddie and Fannie? Let’s not forget that as of 2008, B.O. was the #2 recipient of donations from them, and that’s going back cumulatively all the way to 1989! There is a difference between collecting fees as a private citizen who’s not representing the people or voting on anything vs. receiving campaign donations as an elected official who’s voting on the country’s policy.
All Recipients of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac Campaign Contributions, 1989-2008
1. Dodd, Christopher $165,400
2. Obama, Barack $126,349
3. Kerry, John $111,000
