David Gregory's Ties to Fannie Mae
Conflict of Interest
 

Looks like the McCain campaign isn't the only organization that has to worry about their cozy relationship with Fannie and Freddie: MSNBC's David Gregory, who's been asked to step up on Meet the Press since Keith and Chris were reduced to pundits by Tom Brokaw, is married to Beth Wilkinson, who was the executive vice president, general counsel, and corporate secretary to Fannie Mae until last month.

Definitely some conflict of interest there, especially when the station will have to start reporting on the federal investigation into Fannie and Freddie, whose loans are the reason our economy started failing in the first place. Will Gregory put work first and forsake his wife, or will he end up as a mortgage meltdown apologist? Or will he just join colleague Andrea Mitchell, wife of former Fed chief Alan Greenspan, in blissful ignorance?

The Democrat's ties to Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac hugely overshadow anything from John McCain. Ask President Clinton! He'll gladly tell you that……as for Mr. Gregory this is a huge conflict of interest and should be duly noted…but, oh wait! he works for the sludge network NBC so don't expect anything on the up and up.

While the wingers infesting this site are real beauties, David's still a total turd. Golly the acne-scarred reporter and his uber rich wife look almost like royalty!!!

To keep up with Wall Street expectations, Fannie Mae held onto more mortgages and mortgage-backed securities for investment purposes. The same practice nearly drove the company into bankruptcy in the early 1980s. Once again it was spared in 2008.

I am a conservative pro-Life "hater" of liberalism, and a fiscal conservative, and a Ron Paul kinda guy.
Ok, now, what are the serious ties of McCain to Fannie mae?
