Its been an issue for months that has come up the news. Its a fed govt funded organization, has been for a long time. Why would this be surprising?. Obama during his campaign spoke to this organization and stated that he wanted them to help with his agenda. I'm paraphrasing it, but this was the gist of it.
This should be no more surprising than paying out billions to Goldman Sachs, or $175b to Aig, or earmarking $11m to Microsoft for their bridge construction, or anything else we have seen in part $850b of bailout used for. This is just the beginning of it, it will be more like trillions over time, and it goes to help those who does and has raked in hundreds of millions in annual comp pkgs.
In the interim our infrastructure is crumbling, and the govts biggest concern is how to take care of banks, investment banks, hedgefunds & Wallstreet. For any to believe that govt is looking out for the American peoples best interest, and this country is mind bending?.
