Obama Took the Money and Kept Quiet

Ed Morrissey points out that while John McCain proposed reform for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac back in 2006, Barack Obama was accepting thousands of dollars from their lobbyists... and kept his mouth shut.

Oh yeah, and Obama doesn't even know what AIG stands for.

Read it all.

UPDATE: The "Jamie Gurilli" mentioned is a transcription error. It is actually the famous Jamie Gorelick, who wrote the famous Justice Department memo putting a wall between the intelligence services of the CIA and FBI. Gorelick's edict has been cited as one of the main reasons the 9/11 attacks were able to succeed so spectacularly.

After her service in the Clinton Administration she joined the board of yes, that's right, Fannie Mae where she played the part of crony capitalist ($26 million worth) amazingly well. Doug Ross has more on Jamie.

UPDATE II: And Mark Hemingway has a little more on McCain's efforts to reign in Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
