Housing giant dropped meeting with McCain adviser
By PETE YOST – 7 hours ago

WASHINGTON (AP) — Last March, a consultant to Freddie Mac arranged a meeting between the top economist in John McCain's campaign and Hollis S. McLoughlin, a prominent Republican and top executive at the failing housing giant that is central to the nation's credit crisis.

The scheduled meeting with McCain economic adviser Douglas Holtz-Eakin never took place because a number of Freddie Mac executives objected that it would have been inappropriate, according to three people familiar with the episode.

The executives pointed out to McLoughlin that there was no such outreach to the campaigns of Democratic candidates, said the three people, who spoke on condition of anonymity.

The consultant who arranged the meeting, Harry Clark, is the founder of a Washington lobbying firm.

Out of a special account that McLoughlin controls, the Freddie Mac executive has been paying Clark more than $10,000 a month. McLoughlin has been using the same account to pay $15,000 a month to the lobbying firm of Rick Davis, McCain's campaign manager, according to the three people.

1. You know it's bad

when the business is saying "shit I don't know if this is appropriate. McCains guy's on the other hand "as long as I get my taste it's appropriate.

That old guy is just one screw up after another lately, I love it.

2. What burns the s... out of me

Even the democrats have been calling McSame a good person , a
friend of theirs and it was not like him to be a lying BS'ers
like he is doing now.  
But if you check McSame's past it will show that this is
exactly what McSame was , is and will continue to be.
So he has never been citizen's friend , or was he ever a
straight shooter , and has always taken the policies of the
lobbyist and private corporations.  
Why did McCain close the POW files and his records can never
be seen...
Why did McCain close the investigation when a lot of POW's
which in he states are his friends while they were still alive
and being tortured.
Why did McCain state to working Americans that their jobs ,
(many in which he was directly responsible for sending
overseas,) , which were sent overseas were gone forever, yet
he would create new ones.   Where in h... will McCain find and
create these jobs when the corporations are now overseas and
bring more of our jobs overseas every single day..
