Are federal records not good enough for you, because that is the source.

Did you even read the article, of course you didn't, you just attacked the source without even reading it.

Waldo still has not produced a link to prove that Obama used tax payer money to fund the White House Correspondence dinner.

I read the article. Its crap. Anyone can take a random set of facts and claim, without evidence, that they are connected.

What I find most amusing is that the right wing position for a long time has been that the GSEs should be eliminated as they represented government overreach. The Obama Administration for the last 8 years has engaged in a policy that would result in the GSEs being done a way with and somehow its part of some kind of conspiracy.

Not that I'm much of a huge Infowars person (some of their stuff is legit, while some of it is questionable), but I used to work for both Freddie and Fannie. We paid back the govt' from the bailout back in 2012/13, so both companies have just been cash cows for the government the past few years. So...it's not too far of a stretch that they would use the Freddie/Fannie money for Obamacare. You gotta understand how much revenue per year each company brings in. It's...a lot.

That does not make the story false.

One of the many acts for which Obama should be jailed.


Laughingly, the libs call for "impeachment" of Trump, six weeks into his administration, while ignoring all of the criminal acts of Obama.

The OP had the NERVE to post a link to INFOWARS as a credible source

All credibility is lost, I didn't even bother reading the article. LMAO!



As I've said before, people like the OP, hard conservatives that live in a bubble....they're the kind of people that actually believe the Breitbart story that Hillary Clinton was involved in a child sex ring.

Think about how RIDICULOUS that sounds. And then realize that many people think it's real. It's both depressing and scary...isn't it?

No one ever checked what Obama did with the money that went to Solyndra. Billions of taxpayers money gone. I bet Obama has some nice big foreign accounts with big stash in them.

If the left can listen to CNN , Infowars is a big step up!

The money Fannie and Freddie sent to the Treasury was not used to pay down the government loans, so Fannie and Freddie are still on the hook for the bailout funds.

The timeline is wrong. The Treasury was receiving the funds from Fannie and Freddie well before any Obamacare payments. Where is the connection between the 2 events.
