Barney Frank.... Unbelievable

You are not going to believe what you will hear in the following excerpt. I'm absolutely speechless, truthfully.

Excerpt from an interview given by Barney Frank on the Tavis Smiley show on PBS on April 20, 2009

So I guess the last 20 years of paying off a morgage and not missing a payment on 40 grand a year is going to get me in trouble. Barney Frank is a big frank :mad: Scott

I think he is saying what should of been said before Freddie & Fannie gave out questionable loans. Barney, as usual, you are very late with your diagnosis of the situation.

stokerscot you live under a rock?

Frank in the past if not the most vocal member in congress then one of them backing Freddie & Fannie, the CRA and moving people into houses with mortgages they couldn't afford.

Here's a sample of what he has said in the past:

I don`t see whats so unbelievable here, Frank is a professional politician. Just another reason for term limits, they have been in politics & lieing for so long that they can`t remember their own previous lies. Doesn`t matter which party or position they say what they believe the bulk of the people want to hear.

Well Sam I used to it as well, I expect them to lie but this goes beyond that I think because the videos of him such as the famous" There's nothing wrong at Freddie and Fannie" speech have been all over the place for months now.

You got that right. He is a poster child for term limits.
I'm embarrassed to say that I'm from Massachusetts. We've got the worst politicians in the country. :mad:

The only thing Barney could do that I would find "unbelieveable" is upholding his oath of office.

He's a classic example of what happens in a one-party system.

Be glad he doesn't run your state. Like I've said before, there's no hope for MA. People living inside of the 495 belt are in another world, & vote accordingly. I'm waiting for that section to secede -- it's a useless area that doesn't give a crap about anyone west of 495. They tax the hell out of us to pay for all their infrastructure. You can have your 2 hour commutes & 5,000 sq.ft. mansions on .00001 acres -- WE DON'T NEED YOU!
