Where's the Outrage II?

Coming Oon the heels of Freddie Mac asking for another $10.6 billion from the federal government to cover its first quarter losses, Fannie Mae has requested another $8.4 billion.

Since the Obama administration is using Fannie and Freddie to prop up the housing market while keeping their liabilities off the balance sheet of the U.S. government, Obama will continue to fund their losses without looking to reduce taxpayer losses.

The financial "reform" legislation that Obama and the Democrats want to pass has no reforms of Fannie and Freddie, despite their seminal role in the financial crisis and their staggering losses.
