Follow me on:

Forwarded email alleges that three former Fannie Mae executives who presided over the mortgage company's ruination -- Franklin Raines, Tim Howard, and Jim Johnson -- are now senior economic advisers to the Obama campaign.

True or false?

The real point is not Fannie Mae or Freddie. We are already way past that. AIG already got bail out money and now wants 32 more billion dollars. In the meantime, we ordinary folks don’t have jobs or benefits, and there’s no end in sight. I’m voting for Obama, just in case jobs and health benefits come about. If he’s wrong? Then we will take care of him! But we can’t take any more millionaires and greed. Greed has no morals and never will. Lobbyists? They bought their way into our politics and they ALL need to be kicked out! Especially the Pharmaceutical Divisions. I’m sick of my friends having to cut their heart medicine in half because it’s so expensive; trying to make it last a little longer! I’m DONE with everyone who makes over $250,000.00 a year!
