Barney Frank: Obama will sign Wall Street reform by Fourth of July

http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/98969-barney-frank-obama-will-sign-wall-street-reform-by-fourth-of-july

Obama and the Dems are in a real hurry to destroy the US.

If Republicans don’t take over Congress this November, we are cooked.

Democratic Sens. Maria Cantwell (Wash.) and Russ Feingold (Wis.) opposed the bill.
Republican Sens. Scott Brown (Mass.), Susan Collins (Maine), Olympia Snowe (Maine) and Charles Grassley (Iowa) supported the bill. Sens. Arlen Specter (D-Pa.) and Robert Byrd (D-WVa.) were absent.

DEATH TO CAPITALISM!

It’s not just a liberal slogan anymore.

It’s policy.

The same RINOs, plus now including Brown. I couldn’t believe the people who were so quick to want him to run for POTUS when he won. I wonder what they are thinking now.

“Republican Sens. Scott Brown (Mass.), Susan Collins (Maine), Olympia Snowe (Maine) and Charles Grassley (Iowa) supported the bill.”

Scott Brown has assurance from Chriss Dodd and Bwany Fwank though?

Collins, Snowe, and sell out because my state is exempt from parts of this legislation Brown, are likely to be good buddies!
