youtube.com — In 2004, House Republicans tried to bring more regulation, but the Dems fought against it vociferously. Said Barney Frank: "But I have seen nothing in here that suggest that the safety and soundness are at issue. I think it serves us badly to raise safety and soundness as kind of a general shibboleth when it does not seem to me to be an issue."

You all know that Obama is second highest on the list of recipients of donations from Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac, don't you?<a class="user" href="http://www.opensecrets.org/news/2008/09/update-fannie-mae-and-freddie.html">http://www.opensecrets.org/news/2008/09/update-fan ...</a>The democrats do not want it regulated because they would no longer receive the large donations from the institution. If it is government controlled, it should no longer be able to give money to any politician.

OOOOOH I smell a conspiracy! So the Democrats don't want to regulate the banks because they get campaign contributions from them? Are you serious? Come on man. There is a lot wrong with the Democratic party, but this tin-foil hat crap is just a little out there.I say the same thing when people bring up Bush's ties to oil. Lay off the TV dramas and come back to reality. We miss you.By the way, 5 of the top 10 recipients on that list are REPUBLICAN. The other 5 are DEMOCRATS. I'm not sure where you're going with this, but the point I think you're trying to make isn't being made (click the link folks. If you dugg him up, I'm guessing you didn't click the link. Its right up there ^ CLICK IT).Guess I'll use my one vote to burry ya.
