This was the same way they put together the Bear Stearns buy out in March, and like then it was designed to calm the markets and avoid a sell off that could have gotten out of control. This deal will increase the Treasury credit line for Fannie and Freddie, and  gives the Treasury the authority to buy the companies stocks.
