Check the link below ---- Federal law forbids candidates from receiving money directly from companies. The nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics tracks donations from employees of various companies. The center's list of contributions from Fannie and Freddie employees places Obama second. Ahead of him is Sen. Chris Dodd, Democratic chairman of the Senate Banking Committee. One method of calculating the total listed for Obama is $126,349 in less than 4 years - a tiny fraction of the approximately $390 million his campaign has raised, according to the center. The list shows McCain has received a total of $21,550 in 26 years from Fannie and Freddie employees. The list includes donations of at least $200 from those who receive paychecks from Fannie and Freddie. It also includes donations from political action committees - pooled contributions from employees. Obama hired former Fannie Mae CEO Jim Johnson to vett his VP candidate and former Fannie Mae CEO Franklin Raines is a financial consultant. ************************************************************** Check the Fact Link to the McCain Camp fabrication that Franklin Raines is an Obama financial consultant. The above posting is a McCain LIE!

How much money did McCain get from Fannie and Freddie mac?
No candidate can accept money directly from companies including Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae. However, company employees can donate money to candidates. The New York Times has published a separate list looking at contributions from "directors, officers, and lobbyists for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac" for the 2008 campaign cycle. That list - using figures from the Federal Election Commission - shows McCain receiving $169,000, while Obama received only $16,000. John McCain's campaign manager, Rick Davis, was hired-to the tune of nearly $2 million over five years paid almost exclusively by Fannie and Freddie-to head an advocacy group formed to lobby McCain and Congress against regulating Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

It also includes donations from political action committees - pooled contributions from employees. Geoffrey T. Boisi, of Freddie Mac's board, personally contributed more than $70,000 to Sen. McCain. Both he and Richard F. Hohlt, a Fannie Mae lobbyist, are among the McCain "bundlers" who have raised between $100,000 to $250,000 from others, according to the McCain campaign Web site. Six members of the firm Fierce Isakowitz & Blalock, all Fannie Mae lobbyists, have given Mr. McCain $13,250, records show. Combined, this McCain F&F money comes to between $283,250 and $583,250 from these listed sources. McCain has not cut ties to Lobbyists. Rick Davis, McCain's campaign manager, was a Freddie Mac advocate, whose company accepted $2 Million to lobby McCain against regulating F&F. McCain's confidant and adviser Charlie Black, whose firm worked for Freddie Mac for several years ending in 2005, and the deputy campaign finance chairman, Wayne L. Berman, a vice president for Ogilvy Worldwide are former Fannie Mae lobbyist.

What does Obama think of mcCain?
Obama is worried that Mccain will become president because he believes that talking about the economic crisis so much will cause everyone to run out of money because the taxes will rise.

You are looking for a mortgage lender that will allow a mortgage even though you have been self employed for only 12months?
If you choose a Fannie Mae lender then the requirement for self employed is 6 months into the prior tax year and Freddie mac is one day. The problem occurs is that a self employed person often shows income less than minimum wage which does not allow them to qualify for much of a mortgage. If you show strong adjusted gross income, high credit scores, and have money for at least 5 percent down, then a Fannie Mae loan would be the best chance. Under the new Fannie Mae system, the risk factor has improved to be the same as a w-2 borrower. Because not all lenders accept the fannie Mae approval, I would consider calling Flagstar Bank.
