On Aug. 17, 2012, the Obama administration finalized the amendment of the Treasury Department’s Senior Preferred Stock Agreements with Fannie and Freddie that deprived private and institutional investors of their legally due dividend payments.
This enabled the Obama Treasury Department to confiscate billions of dollars in Fannie and Freddie earnings, in what is known as the “Net Worth Sweep,” or NWS.
The analysis begins with a table entitled “Summary Financial Information,” presented on page 26 of the Treasury Department’s “Agency Financial Report for Fiscal Year 2013.”
Note the first NWS payment was received by Treasury at the end of March 2013.
During that month, the Treasury accounting debited “Commerce and Housing” by $23.770 billion, establishing a pattern where the amounts credited to “Health” and to “Medicare” increased for each of the next two months.
If this is true and it looks like it is, this is major!
It's not really news.
Not many news outlets reporting this one.

I read enough to know that it is talking about the entire spending of the US Treasury. So your headline is pretty silly.
I went to page 26 as directed (both the pdf page and the numbered page).
Oh, I searched it for "Commerce and Housing".
While Fannie and Freddie’s role in the financial crisis is widely acknowledged, what some may have forgotten is how rank cronyism, Enron-style accounting and outright financial fraud made these GSEs so powerful and unaccountable that they were able to wreck our economy.

I looked at it and immediately noticed at least 3 irregularities that I will detail when i finish looking over the rest.
Did you look at it?

I don't have the desire to read all the chaff in this thread. PlasticWizard, is this a REALLY BIG transgression by Obama, or isn't it???

If it's not really news, how is it possible for you to also provide a NEWS link to the story?
