Ambinder reported Judy Black's PowerPoint linking Dems and Fannie and Freddie, but not her husband's link
Summary: The Atlantic's Marc Ambinder reported that Judy Black, whom he identified as "a policy director (read: lead lobbyist) for Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck's DC arm" and "the wife of McCain strategist Charlie Black," forwarded a PowerPoint presentation on the "campaign contributions that Fannie and Freddie provided to leading Democratic members of Congress." But Ambinder did not point out that Charlie Black has lobbied for Freddie Mac.

As your contraian quote notes. Freddie an Fannie have problems, but are not the cause of the overal meltdown. In a later piece he mentioned trust being a major point. The current financial complex lead us down this path. My trust is of small note, but how does someone who wants to invest, trust this complex? Would they feel left out if they don't participate in the next financial bubble? Not demand a larger return on their investment?
Finding the responsible parties will take some time and effort. I'd don't care which party they might be apart of. I'd like to see them pay for what transpires.
That some will quickly blame democrats for the situation is SOP for them. One reason the repubs like demoncrats, they're conveinient scapegoats.

I had this forwarded to me by a wingnut friend. A clumsy Powerpoint presentation, with Sean Hannity as one of the 4 sources listed. I don't remember seeing Judy Black named, but some professor. Well done, GOP.
