I agree. I think that there are to many people in government who NEED FNM & FRE to be successful and want it to be successful. These are two organizations set up to help middle class americans get home loans. I think the new administration is all about helping the middle class. (truly or not) It benefits them to help FNM & FRE anyway they can. This is just my opinion. But I have some spend, so I am buying FNM, that will stay at a buck or lower as long as Bush as in office. When Obama takes over... We will see the sock resurrected. "it will be a miracle."
