We've heard a lot of misinformation and lies from the McCain-Palin camp about the so-called influence of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac lobbyists on the Obama Campaign.
I've searched the site and I didn't see anyone else note this morning's CBS News article that points a smoking gun 180 in the other direction - and I'm NOT talking about the Davis connection.
More below.
Couldn't believe this gem when I tripped over it this morning:
http://www.cbsnews.com/...
It turns out that the man John McCain hired to put together the Republican convention was apparently responsible for secret lobbying to kill off the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac reform legislation that could have stopped the collapse of the US and worldwde credit markets.
Freddie Mac secretly paid a Republican consulting firm $2 million to kill legislation that would have regulated and trimmed the mortgage finance giant and its sister company, Fannie Mae, three years before the government took control to prevent their collapse.
In the cross hairs of the campaign carried out by DCI of Washington were Republican senators and a regulatory overhaul bill sponsored by Sen. Chuck Hagel, R-Neb.
DCI's chief executive is Doug Goodyear, whom John McCain's campaign later hired to manage the GOP convention in September.
I haven't seen it flash around Kos yet. I'm a new poster so maybe I'm not seeing something obvious.
If I was at McCain disaster central, I'd be calling in whatever is left of the reserves of spinmeisters, denyers, and truth obfuscation wizards to deal with this one.
