See $4.6 of the $6.6 trillion mortgage-backed securities at the heart of the financial crisis are from Government Sponsored Enterprises!!!! where you will find these links also: Also, see Media is not giving you the whole Mortgage Crisis story: Fannie and Freddie is Enron x 19/Microsoft Sized Monopoly/Leading Compaign Giver and Lobbyist, New York Times articles in 1999 and 2003 on the Economy, The Economy and what Big Media is not telling you..., Obama's connection with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac ignored in Big Media. The Fact that Bush tried to reform Freddie and Fannie ignored in Big Media., Mortgage Crisis, and Orson Scott Card (Democrat who is also, highly critical of the free-market and capitalism) writes a powerful argument and telling piece!!! Must read!!.

Another article that shows Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae were a big issue concerning this economic crisis. No one wants to be connected to them!!! New York Times hides this fact about Emmanuel. It seems if Freddie Mac was such a good thing for homeownership and our economy then the New York Times article would mention his 2 years on board with them!!!

Examination of Rahm Emanuel's Finances Leaves Out Freddie Mac-"During the time Emanuel spent on the board, Freddie Mac was plagued with scandal involving campaign contributions and accounting irregularities. Freddie Mac and its sister organization Fannie Mae were taken over by the federal government in September 2008 after years of mismanagement and scandal. Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson put the two beleaguered GSEs into a conservatorship, stripping common stock shareholders of their rights to govern the companies."..."The period before he was elected to a House seat from Illinois is a little-known episode of Mr. Emanuel’s biography. Former colleagues said the insight it afforded him on the financial services sector is invaluable especially now. But Mr. Emanuel built up strong ties with an industry now at the heart of the economic crisis, one that will be girding for a pitched lobbying battle next year as the incoming Democratic administration considers a potentially sweeping regulatory overhaul.".."Michael Luo wrote, “The period before he was elected to a House seat from Illinois is a little-known episode of Mr. Emanuel’s biography.” And an important part of it seems destined to stay little-known.
Heavily sourced and researched, the nearly 1,700-word Times piece mentioned 12 separate companies and 16 individuals that figured in Emanuel’s career over the three years in question. But Luo didn’t find space for a single mention of Emanuel’s involvement with Freddie Mac during the same time period."-See New York Times refuses to report role of Islam in Mumbai Massacre.
