Obama and Fannie in a tree, k-i-s-s-i-n-g

The recent turmoil on Wall Street has the attention of both campaigns. The Obama camp has come out criticizing the Republican's mismanagement of the economy and McCain's detachment to the suffering American families.

If McCain seemed detached to the people, Obama is intimate with Fannie and Freddie. As a junior senator, he's close to receiving the same amount of campaign contributions as long time senator and former presidential candidate John Kerry.

Additionally, former Fannie CEOs Franklin Raines and Jim Johnson now advise the Obama campaign on economic and housing policies. Both men made great profits while heading the largest mortgage company in the country.

Again, Obama has questionable ties to prominent political, business, and academic figures. Is this really change we can believe in?
