This was all created by the Libs, buying their voters by offering something for nothing (free houses). Remember O'Bambi's "community organization" with a group that worked for "affordable housing"? Guess what? That was O'Bambi working with ACORN, who fostered mortgages for deadbeats and poor who couldn't pay for them, and getting Fannie and Freddie into this morass with mo money mo money for mortgages that should never have been!

Nope, sorry...wrongo! The Dems own this kind of socialistic nonesense. You're not going to find conservatives laying out the crapola that the poor and minorities were "discriminated against" by lenders who wouldn't give them mortgages. Heaven forbit you have to be able to actually PAY your mortgage before you can get it. The Dems OWN the race and class cards that were played in the creation of this mess.

[KellAnderson]

Correct me if I am wrong, but weren't Franklin Reynes and Barney Frank (Ranking Democrat on the Oversight Committee for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac) dating at the time? Or was that a different Executive at the GSE?

Will somebody PLEASE, PLEASE post video of these hearings without editing it?

[PANDA21174]

There is so much editing in this video that is so hard to link this video as evidence. Do you have raw footage I can use?
