Fannie and Freddie Did Not Cause This Crisis

wow. i feel sorry for the 4 daughters being raised by the joseph goebbels. but i'm sure they will turn out as well as gov. palin's kids. then he'll be "raising 4 grandaughters" in no time.

the actual TRUTH is that it's McCain who's got the party ties to Fannie and Freddie.

the smears about obama ties to ex-Fannie and Freddie execs (inc. Franklin Raines) are just more Rep. swiftboating LIES.

"The non-partisan fact-check website Snopes.com looked into these smears, and their conclusions about Barack and the Fannie Mae executives shouldn’t be surprising: “None of them has (or apparently ever had) ongoing roles with the campaign as chief economic advisors.”

Not an adviser: Frank Raines
Barack estimates that he and Raines have talked for “maybe five minutes” in their lives, and Frank Raines himself even released a statement saying that he is “not an advisor to Barack Obama, nor have I provided his campaign with advice on housing or economic matters.”

Not an adviser: Tim Howard
This supposed connection appears to have been made up completely out of thin air. Snopes.com writes, “We haven’t yet found any tangible connection between Tim Howard and the Obama campaign, however, much less any information supporting the claim that Howard is a ‘chief economic adviser’ to Obama.”

Not an adviser: Jim Johnson
Jim Johnson has never held a paid position with Obama for America. He volunteered to help Barack select a vice presidential nominee but stepped down after just one week."
