Who Were Frannie's + Freddie's Two Top Congressional Go - To Guys? Chris Dodd (D-CT) was the biggest pig at the trough, taking in $165,400. His second-in-pork was Illinois Junior Senator Barack Obama (D), who raked in $126,349 -- nearly 6 times what his opponent, John McCain (R-AZ) took from Fannie and Freddie. It took McCain all 20 years to take in $21,550 in pork from F+F; an average of $1,078/yr. Barack Obama swallowed up $126,349 in one fifth the time, for an average payout from F+F of $31,587/yr. So while American families have been struggling with their mortgages and face catastrophic economic hardship in no small part because of F+F's malfeasance, Barack Obama has been taking F+F's money to stuff his coffers. Barack Obama: pork you can believe in. examiner.com Hmmmmmmmmm Dodd postpones hearing on Fannie and Freddie politico.com
