Whats got up his butt this time?
Oh....right.
Barney is an arsonist pretending to be a firefighter.
Putting Frank in charge of updating banking regulaions is exactly the same as putting an indescriminate child molester in charge of a day care center.
The GOP might as well give in. This industry is already a fully controlled subsidiary of Frank, Dodd & Co. anyway.
bolstering affordable housing programs and passing consumer-protection laws.
Nothing like repeating past mistakes (especially the mistakes that cause the current situation) to fix things.And who better to repeat the past the mistakes than the one who led the charge last time.
regulate this, bawney.
It is almost as if these events were engineered - under the watch of a compliant media - to further socialize the economy. Just enough toxic third-way market distortions and wham.
Rubin and Summers are responsible for the dismantling of the protections for banking.

excerpt...
"Frank, who is openly gay, had a relationship with Herb Moses, an executive for the now-government controlled Fannie Mae. The column revealed the two had split up at the time but also said Frank was referring to Moses as his "spouse." Another Washington Post report said Frank called Moses his "lover" and that the two were "still friends" after the breakup.
Frank was and remains a stalwart defender of Fannie Mae, which is now under FBI investigation along with its sister organization Freddie Mac, American International Group Inc. (NYSE:AIG) and Lehman Brothers (NYSE:LEH) – all recently participants in government bailouts. But Frank has derailed efforts to regulate the institution, as well as denying it posed any financial risk."

I don’t get it, the fixation on this queer by some freepers. I think it is much more important to ask when some of these banker thieves are going to jail and how laws are going to be made to prevent this BS again. Than what butt boy frank and his buttboy are doing.
Correction: "Still no investigation of the perp perv.
Must see video from 2004: 'Democrats Defend Fannie/Freddie from Regulation'. Watch it 'til the end. You will not believe it.

Whiskey Tango Toxtrot? Frank is responsible for this mess, yet he wants to fund “more affordable housing”?
What a coinky-dink! Kind of like the timing of the collapse right before the election.
