The world didn’t end on Friday, what happened today?

I would like to read the bill before anyone votes on it, how about you ??

[Trust but Verify]

WTF does Barney Frank think he’s kidding with his snide comments? That man has GOT to go.

[LomanBill]

Resignation, Barney?

 

==================================================================

During the House Financial Services Full Committee Hearing on "Recent Events in the Credit and Mortgage Markets and Possible Implications for U.S. Consumers and the Global Economy",  Chairman Barney Frank left the hearing in order to attend a meeting in support of legislation that would force American employers to hire homosexuals.   That says a lot about Barney's priorities.

 

Barney "Fife" Frank.

This watchdog only has one tooth.

Barney's boyfriend makes him keep it in his pocket

BOHICA.

Additionally, Obama said earlier in the week he hoped Democrats would not press a proposal giving bankruptcy judges the power to ease mortgage terms for homeowners.

I wonder why Obama is opposed to this? The Ds in Congress were pushing this which involved giving a BK judge the power to write off part of mortgage debt for someone filing for BK. I wonder if this is payback for all the contributions from the finance industry. Or does Obama realize if this is allowed this would increase the costs of a mortgage loan since the lender would face more risk.

OK, here's my question:

In this article we are told:

"would allow the government to buy bad mortgages and other sour assets held by investors". And it will supposedly cost $700 billion.

In the original draft text of the bill last Saturday we were told:

"The Secretary’s authority to purchase mortgage-related assets under this Act shall be limited to $700,000,000,000 outstanding at any one time."

So, if Paulson is able to go after everything now, including mortgage, credit card, auto loan, and student loan debt, then why isn't the price tag higher?

I'll answer my own question: because it's a scam, and won't fix anything - and if they're not really, really careful in giving proper "valuation" to what they buy then they could actually make things much, much worse if they pay too little.

Barney “My Boy Lollypop” Frank is a hypocrite little turd.

IT wants somebody to cover ITS fanny!

I hope this deal is done Sunday... In any form. Not because I like it, but because like a million times in the past the GOP got rolled by the Democrats. Once again the Republicans come away taking the blame. McCain's losing ground daily as long as this goes on. We are so utterly inept at politics it is amazing we have survived as a party this long. From the President on down, we take it in the @$$ and then bitch and moan that we didn't get a fair shake from the media.

We had better come to the realization very quickly that the media is openly against us and we better figure a way around them. In any case, get this passed and let's move on!

[WellyP]

Barney may swallow this but I don't!

[EGPWS]

"Now that Sen. McCain is safely in Mississippi we can get back to serious work," sniped Frank,...

He's just a bipartisan, country first, get the job done, I'm concerned for the livelihood of all, we screwed up so we must fix it without pain, married with wonderful kid's to show for it, peoples representative.

Nobody should show disdain for Barney Frank. /s

[VRWC For Truth]

NO BAILOUT! Get the rope for fat boy.

[dr_who]

Translation: “I think we’ve got them over a barrel”, or in Barney’s case, “I think the other guy is going to have to pick up the soap.”

[raybbr]

Just like Glenn Beck said: The will do it over the weekend to keep us out of it.

[ronnie raygun]

Oh thats comforting Barney Franks is now a fortuneteller and is giving the American taxpayers information first hand. This is a despicable man who fits right in with his despicable crowd of bottom dwellers, scumsuckers, leeches and sorry a## elected officials who are making A##es out of the American taxpayer!

[truthandlife]

Meaning he knows a deal won’t be done by Sunday and wants to try to attach McCain to all of this problem.

Frank needs to be investigated into how he has been involved with this deal.

[gbs]

Won’t happen by Sunday. Next week late at the earliest. Hopefully NEVER!!!

[dforest]

Bawney is a disgrace to the human race. He is a devil spawn.

People who vote for him are even worse.

[Pikachu_Dad]

Oh right. That is just what we really need. For these banks to run out and make billions more in bad loans.

REFORM FIRST.

JAIL THE GUILTY. ESPECIALLY THOSE IN THE HOUSE AND SENATE.
