Fannie Mae, Citigroup, Chrysler, Gm....WHAT a scam! The taxpayer gets to finance politicians they don't pick AGAIN. Fannie Mae may have suspended 'political contributions' this year, but I'll bet they're still handing out the millions they always have to 'non profits'.
BTW....they all give BIG $$$ to Maldef, LaRaza, etc. and John McCain and many of his democrat compadres.
A couple more tidbits from the article...
GM gave $41,000 to groups associated with lawmakers this year... Most of that money, $36,000, went to the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation
Citigroup spent $3.03 million on federal lobbying this year. Last year $5.56 million.

In addition to be wealth redistribution, the bails outs were a democrat graft scheme where they're using the bailed out companies to launder public money back to their own campaigns as political donations.
If there were any justice in the nation 99% of democrats and 89% of republicans would be behind bars (on the small room side).

I’m sure any time now the GOP will be appointing a special prosecutor to investigate ethics violations and the possibility of illegal kickbacks and campaign funding.
oh yea, the GOP has no balls.
Never mind.

The federal government is donating money to itself via GM. Talk about a shell game!

Gosh, I’m sure that’s just something that happened, that it wasn’t planned by the Obama administration and its congressional cronies. Thanks AuntB.

It’s going to be tough in November. Barack the Kenyan and his commie ‘RATS took all the money away from Americans and gave it to his “U.S. citizens” and union pigs.

This was the goal of the bailouts from the get go.
Mission accomplished.
