When will the public start blaming Barney Frank and Chris Dodd for this mess?

[hardnose]

It is amazing that Barney Frank can sit before the camera and act innocent of blame. It was the failure of Him and Chris Dodd to run their committees properly and prevent this mess that caused this mess. Both of them defended AIG and others when Bush and others wanted to tighten the rules. Congress and the SEC failed to in their task and they should also be punished.

Who knows.

As long as most listen to the liberal media, few will even know the truth about these guys. Getting the news from Jon Stewart and David Letterman will insure that no one finds out how bad the Obama people are.

Barney Frank and Chris Dodd were heavily involved in the Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac scandal. They created the economic crisis and they spend most of the time blaming everyone else for it.

AIG gave lots of money to these guys as campaign money in order to get this bail out, so they understand this drama. It's all just an act to distract the general public from the fact that half that money was given to other banks around the world.

So they go after employee compensations that Dodd approved just a year ago, while AIG gives 90 billion to other banks. No one seemed to care about bonuses given to Franklin Raines (90million) and Gorelick (30million) who were thrown out of Fannie Mae for cooking the books.

We've never had a worse bunch of greedy idiots running this country.

There's no one who could keep a straight face and say Bush was even close to this bad. Compared to the Obama administration, Bush's people were geniuses.

Dodd, more than Frank. The Senator profited handsomely during his two terms playing a hand puppet for the insurance industry. Of course, his family will be able to live in eternal luxury, and aren't we all relieved with that knowledge!

I already do blame them. When John McCain warned congress that Fannie Mae, and Freddie Mac were in trouble, he tried to pass a bill that would re organize them. He was voted down by Christopher Dodd, (who received preferencial mortgage deals) And Barak Obama (Who received thousands of dollars in campaign donations from fannie and freddie).

Everyone agrees with you, but who is going to punish them..
Bozo the clown could have done a better job in congress, but I guess he has died so we can't elect him..instead we get Barney Frank.

As long as Pelosi and her merry band of social engineers runs Congress Barney and Chris could be seen on live TV robbing a bank nothing would happen to them. To the Liberal mind only Republicans deserve to be punished for screwing up.
