Federal Housing Finance Agency

The Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) is an independent federal agency created as the successor regulatory agency resulting from the statutory merger of the Federal Housing Finance Board (FHFB), the Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight (OFHEO), and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development government-sponsored enterprise mission team, absorbing the powers and regulatory authority of both entities, with expanded legal and regulatory authority, including the ability to place government sponsored enterprises (GSEs) into receivership or conservatorship.

In its role as regulator, it regulates Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and the 12 Federal Home Loan Banks (FHLBanks, or FHLBank System). It is wholly separate from the Federal Housing Administration, which largely provides mortgage insurance.

History

The law establishing the FHFA is the Federal Housing Finance Regulatory Reform Act of 2008, which is Division A of the larger Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008, Public Law 110-289, signed on July 30, 2008 by President George W. Bush. One year after the law was signed, the OFHEO and the FHFB went out of existence. All existing regulations, orders and decisions of OFHEO and the Finance Board remain in effect until modified or superseded.

Cold Sweat

by: Five

Chorus:
Girl I get dat cold sweat
Creepin' up on me
I ache when you shake it
Girl I'm just a freak
Yeah, you set dat cold sweat
Trippin' on me
Burnin' with the fever
Girl you're killing me
Girl you're kinda freaky
Got something 'bout your smile
And when you bounce it up and down
I can't believe my eyes
I got to give you respect
Cos you know how to tease
Keep on walking I'll keep talkin'
You would not believe
Bridge:
What I would do
With a girl like you
Keep your body rockin'
I ain't gonna stop I just want you
And you know
It's shockin' when you rock it
I'm a sick, sick man cos
(Chorus)
Girl I'm just a freak
In need of therapy
I count the ounce in every bounce
And I just want to feast
I love the way you work it
I love the way you grind
Ya got da funk in every pump
If you could read my mind
Bridge
(Chorus)
Down
You're burnin' me down (x3)
I love the way shake now
Love the way you break now
Keep it comin' baby
I don't wanna hesitate now
You got me hooked every look makes me freeze
180 degrees you make me buckle at my knees
Crazy rump shaker sexy move maker
Baby bring it on
Better sooner than later
I feel a cold sweat creepin' up on me
We gotta get it on
Tell me what it's gonna be
(Bridge)
(Chorus until fade)
