No salgo de mi asombro. Descubro que en Intereconomía, Antonio Garrigues, presidente de presidente de la Fundación Consejo España-EEUU, y de la Fundación Ortega y Gasset, decía el otro día que si el interés colectivo de una nación está en riesgo, los principios de la economía de mercado deben ceder temporalmente”, sobre todo si él se dedica a representar los intereses de algunas de las empresas quebradas en España. Eso es algo que no cuenta.
En un artículo publicado en The American Spectator, David Boaz cuenta cómo ambos partidos y miembros altos funcionarios de la Casa Blanca de Bush recibían dinero de Fannie Mae y Freddie Mac.
Obama:
Obama is also the second-biggest recipient of campaign contributions from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, behind only Senate Banking Committee chairman Christopher Dodd. What's remarkable is that the calculation by the Center for Responsive Politics covers 20 years, from 1989 to 2008, and yet Obama is at the top of the list after only one Senate campaign and four years in office.
McCain:
John McCain's campaign is under fire for his campaign manager's ties to Freddie Mac. Rick Davis's lobbying firm, it turns out, was still receiving monthly payments until very recently, despite previous assurances that the relationship had ended three years ago.
Algunos ejemplos en presidencias pasadas:
Robert Zoellick, who was a top aide to James A. Baker III in the Reagan and Bush I administrations, handled Fannie Mae's lobbying before joining the second Bush administration as U.S. Trade Representative and president of the World Bank. Jamie Gorelick was deputy to Attorney General Janet Reno in the Clinton administration, then joined Fannie Mae as vice chair during Clinton's second term. John Buckley, nephew of conservative icons William F. Buckley Jr. and James L. Buckley and press secretary for the Bob Dole and Jack Kemp campaigns, spent 10 years as head of communications for Fannie Mae.
