Barney Frank favors bailing out the Detroit automakers over letting them go into bankruptcy. Chief among his concerns is that bankruptcy might "bust" the unions. You know, those organizations whose contract demands have put Detroit on the brink of extinction.

The Massachusetts Dem, chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, was interviewed by Maggie Rodriguez on today's Early Show. He appeared alongside Sen. Richard Shelby (R-Al.), ranking Republican on the Senate Banking Committee, who favors letting the automakers reorganize under Chapter 11.

Barney’s touching concern for auto unions ping to Today show list.

Barney Frank. What a piece of feces. And we’ve got 4 years to ignore him.

[Old Retired Army Guy]

That’s the idea Barney! By the way, I hear the GM CEO’s private plane is parked at Dulles. Cost to fly to Washington from Detroit = $20,000.

He has to run for reelection every two years. That aside, unless he dies in the meantime, he is a shoo in for reelection.

Bawney Fag, as usual, is completely wrong. Detroit must break the unions in order to survive. Any bailout that doesn’t include breaking the union contracts is useless. The UAW will just continue to bleed the Big 3 and ensure their inevitable failure.

Barney Fag along with Chris Dodd already caused the Fannie/Freddie meltdown. Might as well at Detroit meltdown to his resume.

ALL those campaign donations HAVE to be paid off!

He’ll be in the limelight as long as Obama, Reid and Pelosi remain in power, and the media will swoon every time he sees a microphone and waddles over to it.

This reprobate has never had a real job. He has a law degree but never practiced. It is currently inactive. When he graduated from Harvard Law he stayed in the dorms as an RA, trolling the halls for intoxicated closet cases. Then when Fr. Drinan gave up his seat Barney went to DC, where he trolled the halls looking for intoxicated closet cases. That folks is the story of Barney Frank’s pathetic life.

This is the same idiot who blocked attempts to get Fannie Mae under control.

In other words — he is one of the main architects of the current financial “crisis”.

In a sane world he would have lost all authority in Congress.

I DO NOT want my tax dollars spent giving these union guys better health care (FREE) than the rest of us pay for. Eff 'em.

If Detroit can't afford the stupid bargain the got with Union shakedown goons - don't expect the rest of us to pick it up.

Yeah Barney that is the whole reason to let them go!

The Unions are no different than the greedy Wall-Street crooks and corrupt politicians.

They have NO place in the great old USA.

[Jersey Republican Biker Chick]

Get it right Barney...the Unions are busting the Auto Industry!!!
