Should Barack Obama give back the $105,849 that “particular companies” gave him? And did Obama accept this money from Wall Street so that he could help Main Street? Because I think we could sure use some of that money.
“We need to help people cope with rising gas and food prices, spark job creation by repairing our schools and our roads, help states avoid painful budget cuts and tax increases, and help homeowners stay in their homes,” said the Illinois senator. “And we must also ensure that the solution we design doesn’t reward particular companies, or irresponsible borrowers or lenders, or CEOs, some of whom helped cause this mess.”
Obama’s remarks came the day after the Bush administration laid out a radical bailout plan with a breathtaking price tag — a takeover of a half-trillion dollars or more for worthless mortgages and other bad debt held by tottering institutions. ~ap.google.com
Obama is third on the list of the top recipients of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac money. Only Chris Dodd and John Kerry got more money and Chris Dodd is chairman of the Senate banking committee!
