My favorite quote from the piece, Republicans in favor of more regulations and controls and Democrats against. This neither surprises nor bothers me as that is what lobbyists do. They try to influence legislation on behalf of their clients. Big deal. I pay one lobbyist $50K per month to help us on a project that will be great for the environment but is out of their normal wheelhouse. I don't mind it as long as we end up doing what is right.

The lobbying effort speaks to the fact that Republicans, including the White House, were raising the alarm bells long ago and were blocked by Democrats. This lobbying effort proves that point. No need to lobby Dems because they were already on the take from Fannie and Freddie. This proves my point about who is to blame.......
