Obama took $185,000 in 3 years
Todd took $198,000 in 7 years

from Fannie/freddie

you joined the Liberal tank of MSNBC/NBC/CNN/CBS and all Liberal media

Shame on you

Posted by: adam -----------------You forgot to mention what McCain took.

News for ABC and the rest of MSM, we are going to get the facts out weather you like it or not. Dodd=$198,000 and Obama=$185,000 from fannie and freddie lobbiest. Why dount you report the facts ABC, they got more more money then any other senators and blocked additional regulations the Bush administration tried to install two years ago.

If these people lived in china these polititions would be put to death. Some of these people need to go to jail. I cant believe they are making our laws. This is just as bad as texting while driving a train.

is Dodd going to appear on the View next and fist bump Whoopi and Joy Behar?

How about asking real questions of Obama supporter Dodd?

Here is a thought. I dont intend to pay for stupid management and a public funds bailout for these companies. Here is a thought. Get a list of all of the names of all the officers and managers of those companies that we the taxpayers are bailing and sue everyone of them for the max amount that you are able in small claims court. I would just love to see the lawyers faces when they have 200,000 cases to settle. Sue them all from the CEO to the mail room manager. Sammanz

I wonder why the Dems are not calling for a congressional investigation into the mortage crisis???? They would be investigating themselves is why.

Again the Democrat takes a truckload from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, THEN whines. My retirement funds are dropping because Democrats pushed banks to loan money to people who had no income to qualify for the mortgage. YES, I'M MAD. I live within my means and I get punished. Dodd and friends live beyond their means - and I have to pay. This is NOT going to end well.

Let me answer you

Obama took $185,000 in 3 years
Todd took $198,000 in 7 years
Clinton took $135,000 in 6 years
McCain took $20,000 in 20 years.

Liberals never get it

Dont you find it odd that the dems are trying to all of the sudden be bi-partison??? It would be to their advantage for the economy to be in the tank right before the election. The facts are that the finger points to them and they want this shoved under the rug as quick as possible.

The best thing you can do is allow these bankers to fall flat on their faces.... that is the only way they will be taught a lesson. The unfortunate downside is that its going to bring down the entire economy. All these bailout proposals I hear basically are the same, transfer the cost of the failures to the american taxpayers. The question I pose to readers is: If these banks became so large that they were considered "Too Big To Fail", then why is the solution creating even BIGGER banks (i.e. merger of JPM & Bear Stearns, merger of Bank of America and Meryll Lynch)? My second question, why should we bear the cost of their failures?

You got to be kidding me. Chris Dodd states this could have been avoidable, where were the bank regulators. Where was Chris Dodd. I cannot believe he was unaware that people were buying houses for $400,000.00 and made $60,000.00 a year. Even I knew there would be problems at some point and I am just a middle class working women.

Let's see you bother the money from "us" the US Taxpayer to give to the banks who participated in the corruption and helped rake everyone over...now those same banks get to keep the assets that we are paying for? I say GIVE every man and woman who got foreclosed on a FREE house...in America....Let's take the bailout right to the lowest level first....OH...that's right....you can't!

are you there?

John McCain new what was happening, it's the same as the S&L scandal and the Keating 5, in which he was involved in.

Get REAL! There is NO Mr. Smith in Washington. They are ALL on the take in some form or the other. Goverment has been stealing from Social Security! They just figured they'd take from it before all the con's, druggies, and people who never worked get a hold of it. Like this financial crisis there were No Babysitters. They've all taken money or "gifts". From buying $500 screwdrivers to actual putting their greedy little hands in the pot. So it really doesn't matter who you vote for; the rich, big industies, and lobbist have it already figured out.

Liberals

do you know that

Obama & Todd got a loan .5% less than the current market rate 3 years ago?

Nitya Venkataraman - why don't you write about it

Oh really.....it was avoidable???? Of course it was avoidable...ya'll avoided EVERY single sign it was going on...encouraged it when you found it out...ignored it while the groundswell grew and now that the tsunami and mother of all financial storms sweeps across our country and the world...here ya come....a dollar short and 7 years too late... RIDICULOUS... DESTRUCTIVE....IRRESPONSIBLE....Ya'll do NOT have a plan...you have your finger covered with a $ bill stuck in the hole in the levy....FOR SHAME!!!

deb, read our previous post and look it up before you embarrase yourself again.

deb

all you can do on Mccain is 30 years old story - which was proven he was not guilty.

Which media investigated Obama's house purchase with Rezko - None

Liberals are blind

The media is only as liberal as the giant corporations that own it.
