NPR: Obama's Fannie And Freddie Donations

Obama's Fannie And Freddie Donations

@paulboccaccio Tweeted that Obama has been the second-highest recipient of donors from Fannie & Freddie employees.

Our Peter Overby confirms:

The Center for Responsive Politics puts Obama's receipts from Freddie and Fannie employees at $122,850. Sen. Christopher Dodd (D-Conn.), chair of the Senate Banking Committee, got $133,900 from Freddie and Fannie employees and PACs, making him number one. Both totals are since 1998, although obviously Obama hasn't been in the Senate that long.
