Obama didn't miss a chance to call them out...he consistently told press that the Republicans weren't cooperating with him or returning his calls whenever he tried to initiate contact.
He may not have called out the GSEs at all, but this hypothesis is not only possible, given the convenient timing, it is likely. Or at the very least, they are now changing their tune with the incoming Republican president so that they can take full credit for anything that comes from it.
Let's completely forget that Obama was handed this problem from the Republican party to begin with. lol.
Somehow, history will decide that the GSEs and Housing Market's saving were Obama's fault and the Republicans victory instead of the reverse (the truth).
