Palin Blames Lobbyists Like Her Campaign Manager For The Failure Of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac

During his interview with Gov. Sarah Palin (R-AK), Fox’s Sean Hannity asked Palin if she believed an investigation was needed into the “relationships between political donations from Fannie and Freddie Mac and the bankruptcy.” Hannity’s question was presumably inspired by Sen. John McCain’s (R-AZ) recent emphasis on the significant number of campaign contributions that the two firms have made in recent years.

Tonight, however, Palin played down the role that campaign contributions might have played in the Fannie-Freddie collapse. Instead, she emphasized “the role that lobbyists play in an issue like this”:

HANNITY: Should there be an investigation in terms of the relationship between the political donations and then of course the bankruptcy that ensued and the impact on the economy?

PALIN: I think that’s significant, but even more significant is the role that the lobbyists play in an issue like this also. And in that cronyism — it’s symptomatic of the greater problem that we see right now in Washington and that is just that acceptance of the status quo.

Watch it:

While Palin blames the need for the Fannie-Freddie bailout on the two firms’ lobbyists, she seems more than willing to take those same lobbyists’ money. In fact, at least 20 McCain-Palin fundraisers “have lobbied on behalf of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac” in recent years.

More significantly, the McCain-Palin campaign manager, Rick Davis, “served as president of an advocacy group led by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac” that worked to cripple regulatory initiatives in Congress and protect the two institution’s “healthy profits.” As the Politico reported in July:

Davis headed the Homeownership Alliance, a lobbying association that included Fannie, Freddie, nonprofit groups, real estate agents, homebuilders and consumer advocates. … [The group] worked to oppose congressional efforts to tighten controls on Fannie and Freddie.

Digg It!

Transcript:

HANNITY: How connected is it, though, to Washington? You have 354 lawmakers got money from Fannie and Freddie. 354. If you look at the years from 1989 to 2008, second-top recipient was Senator Barack Obama. Should there be an investigation in terms of the relationship between the political donations and then of course the bankruptcy that ensued and the impact on the economy?

PALIN: I think that’s significant, but even more significant is the role that the lobbyists play in an issue like this also. And in that cronyism — it’s symptomatic of the grade of problem that we see right now in Washington and that is just that acceptance of the status quo, the politics as usual, the cronyism that has been allowed to be accepted and then it leads us to a position like we are today with so much collapse on Wall Street. That’s the reform that we’ve got to get in there and make sure that this happens. We’ve got to put government and these regulatory agencies back on the side of the people. It’s what John McCain — we have very consistent track records showing that we are capable and we are willing to do this, ruffle feathers along the way but it’s what we are expected to do and what we are promising to do.

    But… but… Rick ASSURED us, just the other day, that that’s all in the past. “We’ve turned that corner”… wasn’t that his phrase?

    I guess Rick’s taken off his uniform too… Botch??? Never heard of him…

    As opposed to the type of cronyism where a vacancy at the top of the State Division of Agriculture in Alaska is filled by you with a former high school classmate , and her “qualification” for that particular job was her childhood love of cows ?


  3. Krazny says:

    I am trying to get one thing straight in my head, if socialism is bad, and nationalizing companies is bad, and the free market works best when unregulated, why is it okay for the government to get involved at all?


  4. CitiDC says:

    Sincerely, Fannie and Freddie did not “fail.” They are just the last ones left standing.

    Wall Street investment banks, owning their own mortgage companies selling junk bonds with poor credit quality underpinned by worthless subprime loans to international investors did this. International investors were buying those “private label” bonds with the expectation they were just as safe as Fannie’s and Freddie’s.

    Only, they weren’t.

    So now FNM and FRE are the only ones left standing. Attoning for their sins, as well as those of Wall Street.


  5. Roket says:

    This is starting to get Twilight Zoneish. It’s like she can’t hear the words that are coming out of her mouth. I know her lobbyist friends hear them loud and clear. Blackberrys hummin’ all night long.


  6. DidHeJustSayThat says:

    Anyone who had watched the interview would have to admit she did much better in the blank stares department. If she could just put some words together that made sense, she’d be onto something.

    Bad move there, Failin’ Palin.

    Tomorrow it’s either (1) back on a short leash or (2) spend time in the penalty box with Carly.

    Hannity flunked out of Junior College and became a winger hack. They should have vetted the PTA president. They are going to find out in public something they don’t want to know…mark my word.

    Latest: Sarah Palin doesn’t speak for the McCain campaign.

    Just who is left who does speak for them?

    Oh, how I would love to be a fly on the wall of that Magical Mystery Tour Bus for just a few hours, after one of the speeches and interviews of the last few days.

  19. stateofthedivision says:

    Greed in the form of commissions and executive incentive compensation contributed to the debacle.

    Management failed in their risky high profit schemes, Boards failed to provide competent oversight, regulators and public accountants failed to reign in risky financial practices.

    Yes, government leaders passed facilitating legislation, likely at the encouragement of lobbyists. But much more occurred.

    The world is laughing at us… I am so embarrassed.


  21. Game of Life says:

    calamity hannity uses the word “bankruptcy” when in fact it’s “bankruptcies.”

    why does he always start a question with a lie about the dems? then to hear plain sillyass answer to his sillyass question is pathetic. she is dumber than dumb.

    she is the one who should be investigated/vetted. look into that seany. it’s amazing to see repugs crowds clapping like idiots to this pair of nothings lying.


  22. atomos says:

    Meanwhile, back in Reality, the economy is soiling the bed… and Bush has sent the taxpayers in to clean up the mess. McCain’s Republican party, champions of ‘free’ markets, deregulation and small, hands-off government, has recently volunteered almost a Trillion dollars in corporate welfare bailouts. Capitalism, Conservative style: public loss to ensure private profit. And still, half of those polled still cling tenaciously to the Conservative totem. The muddy water rising fast beneath them. Imagine, they’re still hawking tax cuts for votes, despite the last 8 years of those same policies gutting the country’s finances. Same methods, different results? What do they call that kind of reasoning again… oh yeah, insanity.



  23. EvilPoet says:

    I don’t know how anyone can stand to listen to either one of them.


  24. Doc Rock says:

    The fact of the matter is that there is an undue, corrupting, and unsavory influence of money on policy and politicians of all stripe. It will continue unabated in our present system until the Law of Entropy comes into play–perhaps we are seeing the beginnings of it now, but I suspect several more cycles before the inevitable BIg Crash, but maybe . . . .


  25. barfly says:

    George who? (from Huffpo)

    During a Florida town hall event with John McCain, Jeb Bush appeared to throw his brother George under the bus. Bush gave a rousing talk about throwing the bums out of Washington. Perhaps he forgot that his brother is the chief bum?:

    Reform becomes contagious,” former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, brother of the current president, said at a McCain town hall meeting this week in Orlando. “If you start to dream bigger dreams and you start challenging the basic assumptions, you can change how things work, and we’ve done it in Florida, and the Good Lord knows we need to do it in Washington, D.C., and John McCain is the right guy at the right time to make that happen.”

    The Bush family’s annual Christmas party’s going to be a bumpy affair, and it will be dog-pile on George, for wrecking the brand.

    I truly agree with Krazny..there is no need for government to get involved…in fact palin seems to be stupid at all…


  27. tokin librul says:

    Rude Pundit on McCain’s innate sexism in the Palin choice:

    What’s sexist is that Palin is being used because of her sex. There are plenty of men McCain could have chosen to shore up the base, most of whom would have sucked it up and voted for him anyways as long as he didn’t go all Jewy and pro-choice. Palin is nothing more than the eye candy a con artist uses to distract the marks while he robs them blind. So it’s not sexist to go after the woman who will set things back for women in horrific ways. The bottom line is that there’s a responsibility to take her down, incumbent upon the media, to proclaim that she’s not only a garden variety Republican hypocrite, but a barely educated ideologue who wants to reign with an idiot’s understanding of the world.

    An idiot’s view? You mean the view of someone who believes humans and dinosaurs coexisted? That humanity is not implicated in Global Climate Change? That Iraq was implicated in the events of IX/XI? That Russia was the aggressor in Georgia? Yeah, that kind of stupid…

  30. tarazan says:

    It is interesting that Palin and McCain made Washington DC their target if not their biggest enemy during this campaign.
    After all, Washington DC is nothing but a city.
    Palin and McCain regardless they never mention Bush administration when they use their daily fierce attack on Washington D.C. and they try to claim disconnect from lobbyists.

    It has been the customery for candidates to use Washington as their shooting target when it comes to selling themselves as candidates,but Palin and McCain stop at Bush adminsitration’s doorstep,and then they go silent.

    Palin is a very much connected politiican to Washington insiders circles,she benefited from lobbyists ,so is McCain who is a long timer politian in Washington D.C.
    Candidates like Palin and McCain are running their campaign on hating Washington…give me a break.!!! after all that’s where their dreams are now…to be crowned in Washington.
    They know how much the audience is unhappy with what’s going on in Washington..so they use that hate but they act if they are disconnected from the whole picture and Washington’s lobbyists and money game.
    Palin’s dishonet and insincere words of ‘Thanks, but No Thanks’ sounds familiar and became her trade mark ,sold daily to hopeful voters.
    Palin should be more honest to tell the crowd about who has been running Washington for the last 7 years.
    Palin and McCain never mention Bush’s adminstration, never say one word regarding failures of this administration,but they keep attacking Washington daily.
    Whom are they attacking..? Palin talks about changing Washington.
    I understand it more when Obama say this,because he mentions Bush in just about every speech, but Palin wants only to use the word Washington in her attacks and failures on every front but without mentioning Bush.
    She is telling her crowds that she is coming to Washington with big change in one hand and knowledge and readiness to do things in the other.
    Palin needs to be questioned in the next debate either by moderator or by Biden himself on what does she sees wrong in Washington..and can she blame Bush.
    Palin and McCain cannot have it both ways..ignoring Bush,but criticising Wshington,when Bush’s administration is running the show in Washington, the country and world affairs,which took us to war.
    I have no doubt that Palin and McCain worked hard to get Bush elected both times, under famous Bush’s banner ‘Compassionate Conservatism’.
    If they both did that..then whom are they criticising now in Washington..? !!

    This is another example that the “old world jounalism of Murrow, Cronkite and Rather is dead and buried. In the case of the Time Magazine reporter Ms Tumulty, she seems to think the finding out the who, what, where, when and how have been replaced with a steno pad, which she records what ABC said in rebuttle to the complaint of Congressman Kucinich. There is a great disconnect with what happened and the points made by ABC. She asks little of no questions to ABC. She takes what is handed to her and repeats it vebatim and then calls that reporting. I call is stenography. Lida Sohbet sohbet sesli chat Gelinlik Modelleri
