Senator Obama received more political contribution money from now-collapsed mortgage banks Fannie Mae [Federal National Mortgage Association] and Freddie Mac [Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corp] than all but one of the 353 other senators.

Soon after her husband was elected to the U.S. Senate, his wife Michelle Obama received a $195,000 raise (to $316,962 in 2005 from $121,910 in 2004); subsequently, in 2006, Senator Obama requested a $1,000,000 earmark for Mrs. Obama’s employer, the University of Chicago

When asked during the Democrat presidential nomination race how much money Chicago slumlord and now-convicted felon Tony Rezko had raised in contributions to his campaign, Senator Obama waffled and wafted like the slim timber he is and said his “best guesstimate” was $10,000 to $15,000.  In fact, it was $250,000.[

Senator Obama and his wife, Michelle, purchased a $1.65 million Georgian revival mansion in Chicago, where they now reside.  While wealthy Syrian-born Chicago slumlord Tony Rezko was already known to be under federal investigation, the senator approached Mr. Rezko about purchasing the two adjoining properties, then toured the home with Mr. Rezko (now a convicted felon on those charges).  Soon after Senator Obama bought the mansion for $300,000 less than the asking price

Senator Obama served as a paid director to a “progressive” Chicago-area non-profit organization, the Woods Fund, from 1999 until almost 2003.  William C. Ayers—who, despite the senator’s protestations to the contrary, is a long-time friend and political ally

As a state senator Obama directed $225,000 of Illinois taxpayers’ money, and later as a U.S. Senator earmarked another $100,000 in federal tax money, for programs run by radical political activist and Catholic priest (now removed from his church), Father Michael Pfleger

Over the past 15 years Senator Barack Obama’s church, Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago, Illinois, and its pastor, Senator Obama’s “spiritual mentor” Reverend Jeremiah Wright has received $15,000,000 in grant money from the federal government.[18] Senator Obama has been a church member for 20 years.

Now remember, Senator Obama’s campaign theme is “Hope” and “Change You Can Believe In,” nevertheless, the senator’s half-brother, George Hussein Onyango Obama, lives in dire poverty in a tiny, collapsing, dirt-floored hut on the outskirts of Nairobi, Kenya

You are utterly pathetic.  Any Fact Check site will set you straight.  Each one of these baldfaced lies and distortions has been addressed and refuted in separate threads.  Combining them all into one does not change anything.  When you cannot support it, repeat it, appears to be the point-at-anything-except-the-economy rightwing ploy of the day.  Pfui.

A baldfaced lie at that!!!  Booooby’s pzzed on that one, because he knows they’re true.

You can’t argue facts, because the only ones you “know” are from whatever American Thinker article is near.  So instead of supporting what you say, you just repeat the same lies over and over.  Pathetic.

No boob, I’ve stated plenty of facts, and they’re true… Tell me which one isn’t, with proof.  And not one of your slanted, bs posts.

Start with the first one.  Corporations cannot give political donations.  NO candidate has received one penny of money from either of the corporations you list.

Booby, I usually don’t call you a dullard, but today your acting like one.

Mind you, as corporations,, they did pay McCain’s campaign manager about 2 million dollars ... for doing nothing.

Show me the money.  Corp to O.  You can’t do it.

They also made obama the second largest recipient in the senate.

Freddie and Fannie used huge lobbying budgets and political contributions to keep regulators off their backs.

A group called the Center for Responsive Politics keeps track of which politicians get Fannie and Freddie political contributions. The top three U.S. senators getting big Fannie and Freddie political bucks were Democrats and No. 2 is Sen. Barack Obama.

Now remember, he’s only been in the Senate four years, but he still managed to grab the No. 2 spot ahead of John Kerry — decades in the Senate — and Chris Dodd, who is chairman of the Senate Banking Committee.

And in addition:

NEW YORK – Two Barack Obama advisers, Franklin Raines and James Johnson, received preferential home loans as industry favors, apparently in deference to their executive positions heading Fannie Mae.

Raines and Johnson, as “friends of Angelo Mozilo,” the chief executive of Countrywide Financial Corp. – the now bankrupt high-flying loan originator in the sub-prime mortgage debacle – were funneled millions of dollars for personal home loans. Mozilo himself made exceptions from Countrywide policy to provide the two Fannie Mae CEO’s “sweetheart deals.”

Obama’s outspoken criticism of Mozilo’s exceptionally

Everything obama touches stinks to high heaven.

Raines is not and was never an Obama advisor.  Johnson resigned in July.

===================

Good, now that’s Center for Responsive Politics, which is opensecrets.org.  Maybe they have donations corp to O. 

http://www.opensecrets.org/pres08/contrib.php?cycle=2008&cid;=N00009638

On that page you will find O’s major donors.  Along with this:  The organizations themselves did not donate , rather the money came from the organization’s PAC, its individual members or employees or owners, and those individuals’ immediate families. Organization totals include subsidiaries and affiliates.  Because of contribution limits, organizations that bundle together many individual contributions are often among the top donors to presidential candidates. These contributions can come from the organization’s members or employees (and their families). The organization may support one candidate, or hedge its bets by supporting multiple candidates. Groups with national networks of donors - like EMILY’s List and Club for Growth - make for particularly big bundlers.
