Obama, McCain and Wall Street

Posted by: dianej on: September 18, 2008

I read an interesting story over at noquaterusa.net and it the author writes, “Obama received a grand total (per Open Secrets) of $1,223,737.00 from Fannie Mae, Freddic Mac, Lehman Brothers, AIG, and Bear Stearns while John McCain received only $258,075.00.” Let’s take a look at this again……..Obama $1,223,737.00 McCain $258,075.00. Big difference, no? To find out how and why this happened click here. Looks like Obama has game and he played with the big boys with the doe…..starting with Rezko who was connected to Auchi. To read more about these two you can go back to an earlier story I wrote(click here).  Auchi is connected with Lehman’s. And apparently as the story continues on Obama’s relationship with Fannie and Freddie are made clear. In fact,  Raines and Johnson both ran Fannie and wasn’t it Johnson who Obama wanted for his VP vetting committee! You see Obama runs with the boys on Wall Street and – he won’t clean it up – PALIN WILL! Ok, the story goes on – Penny Pritzker (we wrote about her in the past click here) – well this gal had major banking problems – the author writes, In a nutshell, “one of the first subprime lenders to stick it to borrowers and have her bank seized is a woman named Penny Pritzker, who just happens to be Barack Obama’s campaign Finance Chair (as confirmed on April 3, 2008) and a potential Secretary of the Treasury in an Obama.” administration.” Getting the pictures – now let’s go back and look at those figures again Obama $1,223,737.00 McCain $258,075.00.

Here is what McCain had to say today (from MichelleMalkin.com’s site) -

John McCain today in Cedar Rapids, IA, said Barack Obama has done nothing to help the nation avert fiscal crisis:

“Senator Obama talks a tough game on the financial markets but the facts tell a different story. He took more money from Fannie and Freddie than any Senator but the Democratic chairman of the committee that regulates them. He put Fannie Mae’s CEO who helped create this disaster in charge of finding his Vice President. Fannie’s former General Counsel is a senior advisor to his campaign. Whose side do you think he is on? When I pushed legislation to reform Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, Senator Obama was silent. He didn’t lift a hand to avert this crisis.”
