Freddie may draw additional $35 bln from Treasury Fri Jan 23, 2009 5:05pm EST NEW YORK, Jan 23 (Reuters) - Freddie Mac (FRE.P), the second-largest provider of funding for U.S. home loans, on Friday said expected fourth-quarter losses may force it to draw up to $35 billion from the U.S. Treasury to maintain a positive net worth. The amount of the capital infusion "reflects management's current estimate of the impact on the company's net worth in the fourth quarter," Freddie Mac said in a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

From where comes the 35 large? Second part of Tarp, approved by Geitner already? Who is running this show? Edit - Obama making big speech today about spending bailouts wisely. Wonder if they even let him in on this? Maybe they sent him a quick email "We are spending 35 bill, ttyl"
