Who's friends?
Obama *picked* two corrupt ex-CEOs of Fannie Mae on his campaign, Frank Raines and Jim Johnson. Johnson resigned when news about his Countrywide loan came out, and Raines agreed to a settlement payout of $3 million and forfeit of stock in Fannie Mae when he was ousted for lying about exaggerating profits to rake in bonuses.. he "made" over $100 million in his time there.

Both parties have screwed the taxpayers.
