Well, according to the table I linked, $0.

I'm sure you'll make some political hay out of that fact, and you're welcome to do it. It's beside my point. I don't think Fannie and Freddie have any more influence over Obama than they do over McCain (well, they paid a lot of money to Rick Davis who is a campaign advisor to McCain, apparently, but that's a whole other issue). My point is I think both McCain and Obama are free to do whatever they want with regard to Fannie and Freddie because the vast majority of their donations are from individual people who aren't trying to curry favor for their employer (and besides, the amounts they've received are chump change).

I'm not concerned over $6,000, thats chump change, as you said. I was intentionally quuibbling over small points, just to be a smart ass, and the fact that so many news organizations have made such a big deal out of it.

My concern over the donations is much more from other large financial houses, and I think I have another post about that somewhere around here. Ah, the follow the money thread.

I love the old lady snatching down her husbands hand when asked who will vote for Obama. "No, honey... they'll key our car!"
