One thing to be said-Obama was not shy about extorting money from Fannie Mae-He is 3rd over-all on the list and the list goes back to 1989-He is doing much better than the others.

Also a reminder on who advised him on his veep choice.

Former Fannie Mae CEO and longtime Washington insider Jim Johnson and former Deputy U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder are also on the committee.

You have evidence that Obama "extorted" money from Fannie Mae?

I don't think we need to go that far. He certainly hasn't shied away from taking their money.

Bush gets his picture taken with Ken Lay, and it's somehow taken as a wink-nudge endorsement on his part of Enron. Obama actually takes thousands of dollars from a "company" that behaved far more recklessly, and this isn't troubling. Go figure!
