I'm flipping through the channels, and as I pass Fox News I see, campaign finance talk.  Watching for 45 seconds total this is what I hear.

"Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac donated heavily to the Obama Campaign which may explain why they got a federal bail out."

Yes Obama did this, not the Republican Treasury Secretary or the non-political Federal Reserve.  It was all Obama

Nah, Obama(and others) getting all those Contributions is why Democrats and Republicans blocked McCain's bill to reform Freddie and Fannie which is why they needed the government bailout.

Obama was getting money to let it happen.  But he had nothing to do with the actual bailout.

 

s.190 never made it out of committee (Committee on banking, housing, and urban affairs), Barrack Obama isn't and wasn't on that committee.  Obama had nothing to do with that bill... though he would have if he had been on the committee, but he wasn't so it's a moot point. (He was a first year senator in 2005)

You are right about everthing else.  Both parties are corrupt.  Obama is too.  So is McCain, he just got caught (and then lucky) so he introduces lots of bills that will never pass so he can look better.


Riiiiight.  So he said "This is going to destroy the economy" just incase it did.

Made a huge big deal about it... and everything... just to cover his bases because he knew it was going to destroy the country and didn't care?  Really that's your arguement?

You've got a weird sense of reality.
