Obama Ranks Second In Freddie/Fannie Contributions

[Spacewalk36]

Obama got his while he was a senator. Mccain got his during the pres race. THEY BOTH received money from them!

[Champraves311]

continue....

And Fox's assertion is misleading. No donations actually came from the companies. One method of measuring employee contributions does put Obama second overall, but another, for the current election cycle, shows McCain receiving significantly more.

[Champraves311]

How Ironic! I just watched Fox News' Morgan Kelley argued that to a Obama Aid that Fox News is Fair and Balance. I just checked several sources, to see if this was true, and found this:

The New York Times has published a separate list looking at contributions from "directors, officers, and lobbyists for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac" for the 2008 campaign cycle. That list — using figures from the Federal Election Commission — shows McCain receiving $169,000, while Obama received only $16,000.

Check the Lou Dobbs version, it is the same as FOX.

How much has Ralph NADER recived from Fannie and Freddie?

ZERO

Ralph Nader is against Big Money and the corrupt 2 Party System. He is for THE American People and will never vote against us so please check out his website and all his stances on the issues that really concern The Working Class People of America at...

LOL. Talk about pseudo claims. The TRUTH: The Center for Responsive Politics tracks donations from employees of companies, NOT DIRECTORS, NOT LOBBYISTS. The contributions from Fannie and Freddie EMPLOYEES ONLY places Obama second. Blue and White collar workers. Obama-$126,349, McCain-$21,550. NY Times published a list looking at contributions from DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, and LOBBYISTS for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac in 2008 which shows McCain-$169,000, Obama-$16,000. Totals BO-$142,349, JM-$190,500!

"Fannie Mae, McCain introduced legistlation that would have prevented this collaps" BarackObamaLied... ?? are you serious??? clearly you have NO IDEA what you are talking about... you mean to say that McCain would of used Tax payers money to backup people who even when the company collapsed got paid 20-40 million dollars in payouts... why should the tax payer prop them up??? its sickening how deluded some people are to twist this.

McCain got more Money from Fannie Mae then Obama. And contrary to Obama, who got the money from employees, McCain got the money from directors and lobbyists for Fannie Mae.

You have been duped by Fox News! Again!

[SuddamMcSame08]

And who ranks first in contributions from Ameriquest BUSH & MCCAIN - Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are not to blame for this mess, its the Private Conventional Lenders, Fannie and Freddie are Insurers to mortgage companies not Lenders.
