What does Republican have to do with it?

Look at who gets the money from Wall Street. Why? Big biz loves regulation that it can control. (When buying and selling is regulated, regulators are the first thing that will be bought and sold.)

FWIW, Sen Clinton does very well but Sen Obama is clearly at the top of the class. In three years, he got more from Fannie and Freddie than Clinton did in 8 and almost as much as Kerry did in 20. The highest 20 year total is Dodd, but Obama would have passed him by the end of his full term as Senator.

Meanwhile, Barney Frank is still out there arguing that we should be giving mortages to folks who can't pay them.

I ask because they are the only ones who (in my personal experience) try to justify 8-digit salaries.

Find a prominent Dem who has advisors who have turned down an 8 digit salary. (Obama has at least two who took at least 8 digits from Fannie/Freddie.)

Never confuse publicity with policy.
