A man who’s lover was an insider at the banking deal gets to ask the questions. This same politician who SHIELDED Fannie Mae from congressional investigation YEARS ago.

CORRUPTION at the head of the investigation.

"But my one question is, I think he overestimates his ability to take people, particularly our colleagues on the right, and, sort of, charm them into being nice," Frank said.

Dear Democrats: Re: NICE. You first.

The corruptions go far and deep, our Treasury Secretary had his Goldman Sachs buddies in the middle of the AIG (and subsequently others) bailout.

Awwwwww.

So he thinks it will be like when George W. Bush brought a "new tone" to Washington 8 years ago?

Unfortunately, I think the Republicans (and especially the RINOs) will be much nicer to President Obama than the Dems were to President Bush. I think the Republicans will try to "take the high ground," and be more respectful.

I agree. Mr. Obama’s ability to unify his own party is seriously suspect at this point, let alone the nation and the world.

Obama overestimates everything, so do his zombie followers.

“Lock him up with the criminally insane.”

Now you’re talking.

Perhaps Barney should “suck up” to Obama.

Maybe Obama would listen to Barney next time.

It’s never been anything but nonsense when politicians starting blabbering about unifying the nation. Obama’s speech at the 2004 DNC was a silly joke to anyone with any ability to deal with reality: not black, not white, one nation, blah blah blah.

So, why didn’t all those Dems. yearning for unity, bipartisanship and one-nation, why didn’t they rally around W and end the partisan divisions of the past eight years? Because all this blather about unity is nothing but a bad joke. If we were going to unify, there would be no reason for more than one political party. There would no differences of opinion on major issues, etc., etc.

If we had a more informed electorate, and one less inclined to live in various fantasy worlds, then any politician blathering about unity and putting partisan divisions aside would be laughed off the stage. That’s not the real world. but just the disingenuous blather of crooked politicians trying to wrap (disguise) themselves in noble sounding rhetoric.

No more talk of unity and ending partisan divisions, please.

We may yet get to witness a steel cage match between Barney and Rahm (the latter wearing his ballet shoes).

tolerance is a fine word. It is just that both gays and Islamist mistake it for "submission".

I agree that the Treasury Secretary (who seems to have given to Democrats) has done a HORRIBLE job. But I doubt he had sex with his “buddies”.
