Facts my ass Jay.  The link you posted is also on opensecrets.  Unfortunately, no one can find any actual evidence to support the New York Times list.

The facts remain that Obama, in two years in the Senate, has taken more than 5x as much in campaign contributions from Fannie Mae than McCain has in 26 years.  The fact is that many Democrats have been supporting what Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were doing for the past 8 years, even in the face of reports that revealed it all.  They've kept anyone from putting any regulations in place that would've prevented the disaster we're seeing now.

But I guess it's just easier to believe that Obama is going to save us all from ourselves.  Thanks but no thanks.  I already have a saviour.  I don't need some politician in Washington trying to act like he's the second coming.
