And WHO “owned” congress and the executive in 2001? THE GD GOP!
Got me!!
A POX on BOTH their houses. But at least Bush and Frost are on record with THEIR concerns while Frank and his butt buddies continued to defend the bloody thing.
We need a major house cleaning in ‘10 (assuming we still have elections).
Here is video of Bill O’Reilly tonight in an epic battle with Democrat Barney Frank on The O’Reilly Factor. O’Reilly nailed Frank on his role in the failure of mortgage lending entities Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
These are just a few of the examples of Barney Frank resisting regulations. He and the democrats had a history of doing so. In the 2005 legislation to bill co sponsored by John McCain to provide regulation/oversight to Fannie/Freddie every Republican on the committee voted for it and every Democrat against. It never went to the Senate for a vote because the Democrats united against it and with with only a slim majority at the time Republicans could not get the 60 votes required for it to pass.
