It’s not hard to figure out the connection, is it?

   McCain has 22 campaign advisers who were Wall Street lobbyists; including Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae lobbyists. This caim by McCain is the heighth of hypocritical disengenuousness.

   David,

   This is a video of the former CEO of Fannie Mae speaking to the Congressional Black Caucus and calling them “family.” Fannie and Freddie have given more money to Obama than to McCain. Maybe McCain just has the wrong former lobbyists working for him.

   Joe Biden’s son was a lobbyist for the banking industry until August when his father became the VP nominee for the Democrats. Biden sits on a committee that has done some sweet deals for the banking industry.

   We can go tit for tat but what matter does it make? It’s not worth losing a dear friendship we have cultivated over the years. Let’s just agree to disagree, and I appreciate it when you point out the other side of the argument.
