fishin of Waterville, ME The Wall Street Journal? You've got to be kidding, Leon. Yes, I read the Journal, but let's face it, it is very conservative politically and even in that article it makes no offer of proof that Obama is the largest recipient, it just makes a statement. It's like taking their article on the tax promises of the two candidates, long long article about how bad Obama's policy is, followed by a few short paragraphs about McCain's policy. Hardly non-partisan. And none of it really addresses the original endorsement of Collins.report abuse

Leon Richard of Farmington, ME Accountability? How's this? Hearings scheduled by Henry Waxman, for November 20th. Conveniently after the elections.

Here's the link to the Wall Street Journal article to look at and see for yourself. Evaluate the information and the source.

**For one, who knew that Senator Barack Obama was the largest single recipient of Fannie Mae campaign contributions over the last 20 years, save for Senate Banking Committee Chairman Chris Dodd? More amazing still, Mr. Obama pulled off this feat even though he had only been in the Senate for four of those 20 years.**

Democrats were up to their ears in this stuff. They stood around and feathered their nests, while Republicans (those not on the contribution train too) were screaming that it had to be stopped.

If Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac had nothing to do with the present economic crisis, it was a hell of a coincidence that they went down and then the rest of the system crashed around them.

Schumer kicked it off back in August with IndieMac.

"Loose lips sink ships.", and these ships sank suspiciously close to election season.

I am still waiting for the source of the financial wisdom and banking knowledge that HeyRube cuts and pastes in response to any criticism of Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and Democrats.

Nothing.

Antilogic? Neat Viva. Neat. Sounds catchy. Kind of new I guess. By that, I suppose you continue on your offensive and stupid mission to "prove" that you and those who agree with you are those with the intelligence and brains, and anyone who disagrees is a fool.

Leon Richard of Farmington, ME Can't, or don't want to answer the question, fine. Sources? If not, go away. Making stuff up isn't going to get it done. Obama and Biden are doing enough of that.report abuse

Leon Richard of Farmington, ME Viva. I asked for the source. I don't believe I have ever cited Fox News in a post here. The information may have come to be on Fox News, or was on before, but I know if I posted something from Fox News here it would be hooted over. So generally, it's a newspaper report from Boston or New York, or Salon Magazine.

I simply asked a question. Where did the information come from that Rube cut and pasted. She's not an investment banker or on the road to be economic adviser to Obama, so it's obviously from SOMEPLACE.

How about letting people view the information, ALL OF IT, and judge for themselves about the source?

Nowhere near as closed minded as you open minded and tolerant types would like to think. Nowhere near.report abuse
