Sweet Deals

What is up with politicians and sweet deals? Senator Barack Obama got a good deal on his house that was purchased through Tony Rescgo. Chris Dodd the junior Senator from Conneticut got a lone deal from Country Wide Financial Corporation at a better rate than was available to the General Public. Another politician who benefited from a sweet deal was Kent Conrad senator from South Dakota and head of the senate budget committee. Really it seems as if politicians like to have perks that are unavailable to the rest of us.
