3. Obama, Barack S D-IL $105,849

Is it Senators get more graft than Representatives?
yeah, how interestin’.
Was thinking about this bailout, who’s to blame. Seems like the usual suspects, although the Republicans aren’t really standing up to prevent it.
Thanks for digging.
Where’s the MSM?
In Wasilla, going thru Sarah Palin’s 5th grade homework assignments.
Well....lookee at that.....
Oh my!
Let the games begin, ladies!
H-I-L-A-R-I-O-U-S!!
Well, well, well. Looky what we got here.
We should get people to start writing letters demanding that Obama return his ill-gotten gains.
Interesting that Christopher “Country Wide Savings” Dodd is at the head of the list. Of course this story to be ignored by the msm. They tried their best to bury the Edwards story.
Well well well, looks like Obummer was on the take.
Pray for W, McCuda and Our Troops
Don’t forget ACORN received contributions too!
Paul Kanjorski will be running for President in 2012?
It doesn’t look too good for either party. There’s nothing to be proud of here since to my thinking both parties were culpable in this mess. It’s just that the top 5 happen to be dems. Praise be for that at least.
Too bad they couldn’t use these funds to bail themselves out instead of our money.
If you look at the management of Freddie and Fannie...Democrat hacks...
This is unbelievable. All dimocrats.
There is something wrong with this picture, folks!
The Jr senator from Illinois has done quite well for himself considering he’s still in his first term. Barack.....return the money!!!!! Your asking all of us to pay for YOUR bribe.
uhhhm, lots of people on both sides of the aisle are taking this money - yea, that’s what the list represents.
THEY’RE ALL CORRUPT...THROW THEM ALL OUT!!!
Brought to you by Michael Savage.
Granted, I know it was wasted keystrokes, but it did feel good to throw a jab for once.
Thanks!
Yeah, those totals are for 1989 - 2008, meaning Dodd and Kerry had a LOT more tenure (re: opportunity) to obtain campaign funds. Obama surpassed Hillary by $30,000, and fast!!!!!
And who vetted Biden for 0bama Why none other than the chairman of Fannie Mae.
bump to the top for more Democratic Corruption.
Guess we won’t see this on the front of the Washington Post
There may not be enough time for CNN and MSNBC to report the fact that the Agent of Change raked in over $100,000 from Fannie and Fred. I did learn, however, that Sarah wrote Bilical passages in her yearbook messages. STOP THE PRESSES!
And Senator Obama is certainly, um, "gifted" - gifted to the tune of $105,000.
Well I’m sure that we’ll see this all over the MSM tommorow morning!!!
BWHAHAHA!! I jest, I jest.
Actually they’re doing DNA test on her pet’s trying to create some scandal about some half man/ half cat boy that was a product of time served as Mayor of Wasilla when she actually wanted by Mexican authorities for killing children and not harvesting their stemm cells.

We can hope that Snobami jumps all over this like he tried with his earmark complaints about Sarah.

"This is not a time to be panicking about this. These are viable, strong institutions," Sen. Christopher Dodd, D-Conn., said at a Capitol Hill press conference.
"The economics are fine in these institutions and people need to know that," Dodd said. There's no reason "to talk about failure," he added.
WOW, Obama managed to soar to #3 on the list even though he is such a newcomer......
The entire Board of Trusties of both companies should be arrested and their assets seized for defrauding the tax payers of America. Have you even look to see who is on the board. Its shocking to say the very least.
Bush a fiscal conservative??? LOL! Try a fiscal socialist.
Did you check this thread?
Lots of graft here.
To the tune of $797,000 according to the WSJ.
So, not only is Obama one of the top recipients of Freddie/Fannie, but so is ACORN, where he so proudly "served" as a Community Activist... Nothing to see here.
ping
Note to Sen. Dodd: Make our day.
Everyone who recieved campaign contributions from the two should immediately contribute those funds to the treasury’s general fund.
My bank has some type of affiliation with Frannie and Fred. I’ve been wondering what will happen.
And how much did Franklin Raines earn while doing his Enron like accounting scam in the late 90’s?
Wholly Toledo! Will ya just LOOK at THAT???
Lead by the likes of Jamie Gorelick!!!
Anybody have any concrete info on how much ACORN had gotten???
Yep, throw this in the face of the GSE recipients
And let’s not forget that it was Bill Clinton who named Raines to the title of Help Yourself And Stick Taxpayers With the Bills.
Should be posted around everywhere along with a demand that Obama give back the $100K he got from them.
Not only did Snobami receive a lot of money from fannie and freddie, so did Acorn, the fund raising group that hates America and honest voting.
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB121728651034091275.html?mod=googlenews_wsj
Most of this foundation money goes to charity groups uninvolved in politics and policy. But tens of millions of dollars find their way to policy advocacy groups on the left and even some on the right. (See nearby table.) Affiliates of Acorn, the left-wing activist group, have received multiple $100,000 grants for their “housing” activities.
Jesse Jackson’s Citizenship Education Fund, an offshoot of his Rainbow/PUSH Coalition, has received more than $500,000 from Fannie and Freddie since 1996. A decade ago Mr. Jackson accused Fannie and Freddie of discriminatory lending practices. Those charges of racism went away once the grant money started flowing. Groups on the left complain about “corporate welfare” all the time, but curiously nary a one has opposed the Fannie and Freddie bailout — which amounts to one of the biggest corporate welfare gifts in U.S. history.
Anybody have any concrete info on how much ACORN had gotten???
