Obama campaign: Fannie, Freddie are "essential"
WASHINGTON |

"Sen. Obama has long believed we should take all necessary steps to ensure affordable homeownership for millions of American families, and that includes an essential role for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac," Obama campaign spokesman Bill Burton said in a statement.
