Default Freddie Mac Paid McCain Campaign Manager's Firm Through last Month

Two reports tonight, one from the New York Times, and the other from Newsweek, contradict John McCain's statement this week that his campaign manager Rick Davis had no involvement with mortgage giant Freddie Mac for the last several years. The Times reports:

One of the giant mortgage companies at the heart of the credit crisis paid $15,000 a month to a firm owned by Senator John McCain's campaign manager from the end of 2005 through last month, according to two people with direct knowledge of the arrangement. The disclosure contradicts a statement Sunday night by Mr. McCain that the campaign manager, Rick Davis, had no involvement with the company for the last several years. Mr. Davis's firm received the payments from the company, Freddie Mac, until it was taken over by the government this month along with Fannie Mae, the other big mortgage lender whose deteriorating finances helped precipitate the cascading problems on Wall Street, the people said...

Check to see who got even MORE.


Top 3 were Chris Dodd #1
Barack Obama #2
John Kerry #3

The truly sad fact is that numbers 1 and 3 have been collecting for several terms. Number 2 only moved into the competition this term.


Also check to see who is actually on the STAFF of Obama. The "executives" that pillaged and profited and were facing charges of "crooked books" when they resigned into golden parachutes.

Are they worse than Phil Gramm? Cause if they are we'll have to get an exorcist before they all to move into the whitehouse. Of course we could always ask Nancy Reagan. Maybe people who consult oracles know something about the craft?
