HOUSE SAYS NO: BRING ME THE HEAD OF BARNEY FRANK

Agreed! They're trying to create panic (as usual) as good Democrats.

“I want [Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae] to help with affordable housing, to help low-income families get loans and to help clean up this subprime mess. Otherwise, why should they exist?” - Rep. Barney Frank, earlier this month."

What Barney was really saying: " I want [Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae] to help with unaffordable housing, for low-income families who can't repay the loans, which will help us Democrats clean-up on money contributions from Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac as well as buy the votes of those same low-income families who will view us Democrats as their heroes. And we want to create a real mess that will cause the markets to tank and chaos to spread, so as to bolster the cry for "Change!" from our comrade Barack Obama."

"barney needs to be kicked out of office and sent to jail to be someones woman. Oh wait he would enyoy that to much, make him clean toilets and puke piles."

No, Barney Frank would enjoy cleaning the toilets too much (something to do with his mental illness) so that's not the ticket, either. I say, Let's put him in a women's prison and they will take care of him.

“Pelosi isn’t even a shadow of what Rayburn was.”

No matter what party you came from, if you cut a deal with Rayburn he would never have attacked your party right before the vote was to take place. In fact, if he made you a promise in exchange for a vote, you could count on it.

If this was so good, and the “donkies” so unified, the Dems could of passed this without any Republican votes in the House. But the public “melted the phones” these past few days and enough politicos listened. Just like the imigration bill crackdown, the Dems and Repubs got the jist of the electorate’s displeasure.

They aren’t the only ones pissed right now. There are a lot of foreign banks who got into this with the reassurances from US banks/govt that these notes were “AAA” rated......BZZZZZZZZZ, wrongo boyos.

1. Don’t reward stupidity and greed

2. Bring back professional RISK MANAGEMENT. All the rules and gov’t regulations don’t mean squat if management doesn’t do it’s job. Also, government should not meddle in the risk management process, dump vast amounts of cheap money (aka: temptation) or act as a safety net giving management cover to act stupid.

3. A house is a priviledge, not a right (nor a political patronage scheme)

4. Get your own financial house in order and treat credit with respect
