WASHINGTON – Despite their denials, influential Democratic Sens. Kent Conrad and Chris Dodd were told from the start they were getting VIP mortgage discounts from one of the nation’s largest lenders, the official who handled their loans has told Congress in secret testimony.
Both senators have said that at the time the mortgages were being written they didn’t know they were getting unique deals from Countrywide Financial Corp., the company that went on to lose billions of dollars on home loans to credit-strapped borrowers. Dodd still maintains he got no preferential treatment.
Dodd got two Countrywide mortgages in 2003, refinancing his home in Connecticut and another residence in Washington. Conrad’s two Countrywide mortgages in 2004 were for a beach house in Delaware and an eight-unit apartment building in Bismarck in his home state of North Dakota.
Robert Feinberg, who worked in the Countrywide’s VIP section, told congressional investigators last month that the two senators were made aware that “who you know is basically how you’re coming in here.”

“Chris is going through a rough patch,” Mr. Obama told The Globe. “He just has an extraordinary record of accomplishment, and I think the people in Connecticut will come to recognize that.”
The president added, “He always has his constituencies at heart, and he’s somebody I’m going to be relying on and working very closely with to shepherd through the types of regulatory reforms we need.”
I see you are all disregarding the fact that Obama supports corrupt Senators for reelection. That’s great. Way to be non-partisan and help get the country back on track! lol, oh man…

Ahhh, the feeling is great - the joy of knowing how fucked up liberals minds are right now with all that cognitive dissonance going on.

When he becomes more of the same, but that will never happen. No one is like the clown that just left.

I’m guessing you think two Democrats would get just as good a deal if the Republicans were in power, huh?
Oh, good job violating the copyrights…

Only moonbots thought any different…and we who know politics said so way back when.
Every President gets seriously throttled back when they get into office.
The President is not a king…there is a protocol that comes with the office.

i’m not 2 happy about obama being elected…

unless you were the loudest protester when bush was flushing the country down the toilet.. you have no credibility..
we’ll asses President Obama’s performance in 7 or 8 years..
since the country would not exist in that time if it kept on the bush path.. i suspect it will be quite a leap up.. and reverse of direction from bush.

When the Right make up their minds…he’s either “more of the same” or he’s a “Left wing extremist” or a “radical socialist” or a “communist drone”.
Get back to us when you decide…hahahaha

no, obama is not “more of the same” as you wonder about. You might be thinking of had mccain won the election and that would have been more of the same. It’s okay, your confusion is understandable.
