			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>INTERESTING.  Take a look at former Fannie May CEO (and current Obama advisor) Franklin Raines&#8217; <a href="http://www.newsmeat.com/ceo_political_donations/Franklin_Raines.php">political donation habits</a>.</p>
<p>INTERESTING #2.  Take a look at the Top 20 recipients of campaign contributions from Fannie May&#8230; [also <a href="http://www.opensecrets.org/news/2008/09/update-fannie-mae-and-freddie.html">see source link</a>].  These are TOTAL contributions SINCE 1989.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.blogstitution.com/wp-content/uploads/contributions.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-496" title="contributions" src="http://www.blogstitution.com/wp-content/uploads/contributions.jpg" alt="" width="427" height="381" /></a></p>
<p>Look who tops this list:  Christopher Dodd, Barack Obama, John Kerry, Jack Reed and Harry Reid, Hillary Clinton, Nancy Pelosi&#8230; <strong>ALL THE USUAL SUSPECTS</strong>.  For the record, I&#8217;m not happy about alot of Republicans on this list either (and, quite honestly, I don&#8217;t know who most of them are&#8230; which is odd)&#8230; but it&#8217;s pretty clear that there is a party advantage when it comes to dirty money.</p>
<p>And that&#8217;s not all folks&#8230; <a href="http://hennessysview.com/2008/09/15/franklin-raines-criminal-enterprise-and-barack-obama-his-accomplice/">Dr. Hennessy</a> points out that:</p>
<blockquote><p>Dodd has been in Congress since Moses was a baby.  What did Obama do in 2.5 years to earn nearly as  much cash from Frannie and Freddie as Dodd earned in 25?</p></blockquote>
<p>Can anyone say &#8220;follow the money&#8221;???  Oh&#8230; and I just found out (ya, at 1:30am) that Pelosi is riding out on the white horse calling for &#8220;investigations&#8221;&#8230; how much do you wanna bet <em>she</em> will testify?  I am foreseeing this is going to turn into a sham, political trial&#8230; and won&#8217;t help fix ANYTHING.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Recently, Hillary Clinton <a href="http://jollypeople.com/blog/2007/08/29/hilary-clinton-donate-charity/"><em>claimed</em></a> she gave back <a href="http://www.nationalledger.com/cgi-bin/artman/exec/view.cgi?archive=17&amp;num=16124">over $800,000</a> in fundraising money donated by an immigrant named Norman Hsu.  I happen to commend Hillary for taking that course of action (although she has not yet released any confirmation such promise was kept); keeping the money in that situation would have painted too big a target on hillary for the rest of her campaign.</p>
<p>However, when taking such questionable donations&#8230; all from CHINESE donors&#8230; becomes a <a href="http://www.latimes.com/news/politics/la-na-donors19oct19,0,4231217.story?coll=la-home-center"><em>common practice</em></a> of her campaign,  one must start to hold her accountable for such questionable decisions.  The L.A. Times has more:</p>
<blockquote><p>The Times examined the cases of more than 150 donors who provided checks to Clinton after fundraising events geared to the Chinese community. One-third of those donors could not be found using property, telephone or business records. Most have not registered to vote, according to public records.</p>
<p>And several dozen were described in financial reports as holding jobs &#8212; including dishwasher, server or chef &#8212; that would normally make it difficult to donate amounts ranging from $500 to the legal maximum of $2,300 per election.</p></blockquote>
<p>Where is this money coming from?  Are we to believe that these poor dishwashers are personally fronting thousands of dollars to donate to Hillary?  Who is fronting the cash?  Why are they all Chinese?</p>
