Letter that will never see light of day

To Richard Cohen, columnist, Washington (Com)Post

Mr. Cohen,

I enjoyed your column in today's Washington Post and was particularly taken by your statement that "[h]ard times are hard on truth." By this measure, The Washington Post must be enduring some very hard times indeed.

While the Post treats its readers to articles about an advisor for John McCain lobbying for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the paper makes no mention of the fact that Barack Obama received more money from lobbyists and employees of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac than any other member of Congress, except for Christopher Dodd. http://www.opensecrets.org/news/2008/09/update-fannie-mae-and-freddie.html . And it took Senator Obama only three years to raise more money from these institutions that many of his colleagues were able to raise in ten years.
