Candidates weigh in on stabilizing Fannie, Freddie
The takeover of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac dominates the 2008 campaign as leaders push for conservatorship and a possible restructuring. Treasury aims to place them under control for about a year, with Daniel Mudd and Richard Syron removed. Palin argues for downsizing to shield taxpayers. Obama warns against collapse and urges steps to stabilize the housing market amid record mortgage distress.
