People can get away with almost anything these days, can't they.. they can say one thing one day, and the complete opposite the next, and still be in the good books of the majority..
Blame for asset bubbles and their eventual collapse goes squarely on those that created it. Barney Frank is complicit as is bill clinton (vision of every american owning a home, tax relief act of 98) jimmy carter (CRA) and both sides of the aisle in congress as well as Alan Greenspan (keeping rates low well after the '03 recovery). Frank has been an utter waste for America (except for the brothel he ran out of his DC apt) and as a Mass resident, so happy to see him no longer representing us
granted this man should probably go to prison. I think we as a nation should also take some blame on ourselves for the mess we are in. We let this happen. Every day more and more people "wake up" to the realization of whats being done to us, yet we do nothing. I believe its high time some people lost their jobs.
Its George W Bushes fault,its George W Bushes fault,its George W Bushes fault,its George W Bushes fault!!!! No its this stupidass/dumbass/smartass Bawny Fwank's fault. What a liar&theif!!! He has no guilt&shame&thinks he has done no wrong This man should go to Levenworth in a 6 by 9 for the rest of his life. If he was in private business this would happen But being high in the government he is walking away "scott free" to live with his partner Jim Ready-oh how sweet, living happily ever-after.
I've been a mortgage loan officer for 25 years and this whole real estate mess can be funneled down to one guy, this flaming asshole. His thought proces is not just people who can hold a job and make their monthly payments on time, not just people can save enough money for a down payment on a home, but Everybody should own a home. Fannie and Freddie were constantly loosening their approval guidelines and the banks were only doing what the govt were allowing and ENCOURAGING us to do.
@Shoobydoo132 Seems like you think banks self regulate, and mortgage lenders had no incentive to make bad loans. I guess Republicans work harder then the rest of us, it has to be all their blaming games. Hatred and jealousy has got the best of someone.
Thank God this fucking ass-clown is retiring(only because he would have gotten his mangina handed to him in the next election). Good fucking riddance. America will be a better place without self-important leeches like Bawney Fwank.
Listen to this 2 is a couple&3 is a crowd, well Barney Frank&Jim Ready should have "Anthony Weiner" come over&join them in bed as a threesome&have it filmed.Barney&Anthony were 2 peas in a pod I bet you they will make millions by selling the video-lol!!!!!!!!
Lying s.o.b, He is a main reason this economy&country is in the gutter.A damn fool who thinks us common blue-collar hard working proud Americans are so dumb&stupid that we don't see his "BS".He don't need to be with his "lover"-Jim Ready but in a federal harsh security prison in a 6 by 9 with "Bubba Buford the ugliest,hairiest,meanest prison psycho in the system How this man got away with the many things he did just irks me as well as many others.FYI.
@Frankcoins Sorry but alot of this started way before Bush ever took office. It began when the Urban Development act went into effect and then Clinton reduced the requirements buyers and became more strict on banks to push the program. Bush did not do any favors but really the FED put fuel on the fire by dropping interest rates to insane levels after 911. Clinton or Bush either way you look at it the real issue is regulations. Less government and less Federal Reserve! Barney is an idiot!

I hate Frank so much... the only people that I hate more, are the people that suck the cum out of his asshole with a straw... sorry to be gross, but that is just how much I hate this guy... thank fucking god he's retiring.
Shelia blair is just as worse as the secTres Tim is. Both of you are agreeing that your both wrong. Both parties are to blame. Dem or Repub. You're both nothing more then big government looking over our backs. Either in an economic sense or a moral sense. Ur just as bad as the other and you should be dissappointed in yourself because the founders stood for none of it. You're both the exact opposite of the idea they had in mind when they founded the country
Between voting for Fat drunken murderer Ted for 47 years or Frank for 16 terms, and lastly - John 'USS No Taxes' Kerry, MA voters need deep psychoanalysis...they are F'ed!
@yoda002 Clearly you don't know what CRA ratings are, Acorn's involvement with CRA ratings, and the fact the Bush Administration proposed legislation to bring fiscal oversight to Fannie and Freddie but was rejected in Barny's subcommittee; just as I am sure you don't know who Franklin Raines is. Continue to spout off more liberal/progressive lies.
@khmerRougeRedux More rightwing talking points that have no creditability to them. Clearly you have no idea at all what CRA ratings are either. Pulling out the Acorn card doesn't helping you case either. Frank was not pushing subprime lending and Freddie and Fannie were just backstopping these mortgages. I recommend you reading the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission report. Do you know who Randall Kroszner and Sheila Blair are?
WTF-- what kind of social categories should not be allowed a home of their own?
What a socialist pig this man is, what's next? certain social categories should not bare children? Who Barney, the poor? uneducated? mixed racial? Castrate them all, give them a 24x24 flat, take their guns and feed them soy! Bless America!!!
@StealThisIdentity "Predatory"....My ass!!...The Liberals in DC (The Dem's) at the time of the Sub-prime lending fiasco, put massive pressure on all banks to give mortgage money to any fool that could fog up a mirror, by re-writing the qualification standards for mortgage loans. The Dem's, like this moron Barney Frank, told them; "Not to worry, Fannie/Freddie will take the mortgages".
In the end, the taxpayers got screwed, while Fannie/Freddie still lose billions per year.
@Dealit707 ".The Liberals in DC put massive pressure on all banks to give mortgage money to any fool by re-writing the qualification standards for mortgage loans." If someone makes murder legal, there's no pressure on me2 murder anyone. Crimes consist of motive & opportunity. The major issue here is not the legislation that provided the opportunity, IMO it's the greedy motivation of the mortgage companies. I challenge u2 show me wording in the legislation to pressure mor. companies
@Dealit707 Also, google searc "Countrywide Settles Predatory Lending Charges for $8.68 Billion: Landmark settlement reached with Attorneys General in eleven states." State governments, run by Republicans (Arizona, Texas, FL) and Democrats (Washington State, Minnesota), all see predatory lending as a real problem, and I bet if you were poor or a racial/ethnic minority living in one of these states, you would too.
LMAO...Ron Paul just smiles thinking, "You jackass, You will soon see how right I am." Bam the collapse happened and people like Barney Frank and Newt Gingrich cash in.
We should have convicted him of the crimes he perpetrated against underage Paige's but we just couldn't stomach what he would have exposed, had he carried through on his threat to expose ALL the malfeasance in the members Senate and House
This is so shocking! however, did you know the Chairman of that committee in 2005 was a Republican? That means him and the Republicans pushed for more home ownership. Unless, of course, he tried but they blocked it but wouldn't that mean the Republican party was respons...oh no, facts clouding dogma! Can't think! Arrrrghhh! Need to watch more Faux News.
@girardbcp Nobody said Republicans didn't push for home ownership. The point is that Frank tried to say he HADN'T, when he had. Both parties fell into that trap. But it was liberal social engineering, even though Republicans got on board. We conservatives are against liberal social engineering, whichever party is perpetrating it.
@stubbynuggs Yes, they do! Just google "Barney Frank caused the bubble" all kinds of right-wing opinion websites come up. Also, thanks for the Newt Gingrich sound bite in your reply, it shows intelligence, wit, and originality.
@girardbcp Well yes, Frank bears much of the responsibility. But saying so doesn't mean we say Republicans have no responsibility.
Now, as for your sarcastic patronization. This may surprise you, but the term social engineering has been around for a long time. It's even older than Newt Gingrich. Using the term does not constitute a Newt soundbite. When you go around using terms like Faux News, please don't make fun of anyone else's lack of wit or originality.
@girardbcp Faux News? Again . . . really? Clever. Barney Frank was in a position of power. He was not CHAIRMAN, but was opposition leader of financial services during the early 2000's. He used his power to resist Republican efforts to reign in Fanny and Freddie, insisting that they were in no financial trouble. As it turns out, they were in financial trouble. Again, if you are going to make fun of other's originality and wit, don't use worn out terms like Faux News.
@stubbynuggs Faux news is an accurate portrayal of Fox News. It's both a play on words and in French, which as a Faux News viewer you must hate that so much! Freedom fries!
Anyways, back to Frank, he has some blame but you should blame more on Chairman Oxley and before it was another Republican who held that chair on the committee on financial services: Jim Leach (1995-2001). Blame them 2, they had way more power than Frank. Blame Bush, Greenspan, Rubin, Clinton & Summers, people in real power.
@girardbcp Notice, I never pretended to know you or how you think. But you DID pretend to know me and how I think. What with your condescending Fox comments, and your freedom fries comment. You do exactly what you accuse me of doing. You don't know me. Grow up.
@girardbcp And social engineering was an accurate portrayal of the idea that caused the housing crisis. But you called that a Gingrich soundbite and belittled my wit and originality. You may find Faux News an accurate description all you wish, but it is not original, and was only witty for whoever coined it. And I do not regularly watch Fox News, whatever you have been told about "my kind". See how that can work both ways?
@stubbynuggs If you will read my comments, I never laid all the blame on Frank. I clearly began this argument by saying lots of people were at fault. But LIBERALISM is the culprit, whether perpetrated by Dems or Reps. It was begun under Carter with the Community Reinvestment Act and was made worse under Clinton. The policies were continued under Bush and the Republican congress. But, Bush and the R's did try to reign in Fanny and Freddie. Frank stopped them, and lied.
@OhNoYouCant What do you mean? He's a radical, lying, greedy, liberal that gives those good democrats out there (and there are some!) a bad name. Glad he's going, just hope someone equal or even worse doesn't fill the spot.
how that fat pig still has a job as a congressman is the biggest question the people of MA need to answer! Frank and Dodd and all the rest of them should be doing time in jail for their knowing participation and involvement that exacerbated the current recession!
@captainrobjohnson Yeah, true, but it's only 'we' that see the lies, old potato face doesn't care, as long as no one caught him in the act at the time, and I doubt he worries too much about Youtube viewers, or anyone come to that, he has hit pot all nice and full now, integrity means zip to these mobsters.
@AmericanArtNews tell me about it. So glad I moved out of California. They are so broke but yet they find it important to give state funded education to illegal immigrants
@AmericanArtNews You are telling the truth.. I have a degree in economics from Wash U in St.Louis (94') and I have had discussions with Harvard Law grads, and truckers at a Waffle House.. The trucker had by far the weaker of the education between the 2 of us, but I swear I carried on a more intelligent conversation with him than the indoctrinated Harvard Law grad.
@AmericanArtNews You're so smart blaming 1 person who didn't even have a position of power for the whole housing bubble and crash. I think the ranking goes like this: Barney Frank, President, Vice President, Speaker, then Barney Frank.
@AmericanArtNews - whoa! before you lump everyone into one airport stall, allow me to opt out! Smart? Who thinks this dumbass is smart? Maybe crafty is a better word. Or slick. With the highest % of universities and colleges per capita in N.E. we're among the brightest in America. Come by and have a beer - you might learn to love us. :) (just stay away from the Cape - that's where Barney plays with his buddies)
@enjoyitbro Franks has actually gotten paid by the tax payers to screw over the tax payers who pay him. His entire career is based upon the destruction of our economy; now we have bus. regulations that even lawyers don't understand in full..
Someday one of his rent-a-twinks will video him in leather and gagball and sell it to the GOP. Watch him confess the sins of every lib from Steve Gobie scandal on.
and this is why the Obama "bots" still believe that everything is Bush's fault. Their "Idols" (Liberal Democrats) make some reference to it being Bush's fault every time they get a chance. (Similar to Subliminal messaging) (The bots aren't able to think for themselves and see that these ASS HATS are lying to them)
lol...i will agree that this is pretty stupid of him...but this happens ALL THE TIME in politics...you all should be saying this about pretty much every politician, morons
@MrBigEnchilada It seems that not many know it started with the CRA of 1977, signed by Jimmy Carter and all the regulatory changes to it were all done by congress with no supporting bill. Fact of the matter is all the blame Bush boneheads are completely wrong. Every bit of this problem was Democrat caused.
Actually the Repubs weren't even the one's pushing for straight deregulation. That's an accepted talking point but if you actually look at the history the big Glass Steagall repeal dereg happened in 1999 under Clinton and was pushed by uber-libs Dodd and Schumer and against the wishes of Repubs like Gramm who didn't want to expand the CRA rules that loosened subprime lending standards.
Wrong now Barney is twisting the words about Fanni Mae and the loans. You can`t wiggle out of it Barney. Your bunch at Fannie Mae are responsible for a wolrd collapse. You should be in prison for world crimes. Republicans tried to regulate these loans in 2004 with complaints coming from your side of the typical use of the word racism. Folks we cannot let liberals dicate anything anymore. They are a danger to the whole world. Scary folks indeed
Obama, a hardcore liberal his entire political life, has almost destroyed America in just under three years. Already on the brink, the country will become a second rate nation if he's re-elected. And that might be optimistic.
This will be the most important election in American history.
GO TO HELL OBAMA YOU COCKSUCKER... FUCKING RETARDED NIGGER
Im not racist but when you fuck up the Worlds Last Superpower - YOU DESERVE TO BE CALLED A DIRTY NIGGER!
Barney Frank is one of the biggest reasons that Fannie and Freddy went belly up while fighting off all the republican challenges to reform it. Then he tries to blame others just like a bratty child or Obama does. Mainstream media will never play this to the public. Thank god we have sources for real news.
The only honest noise that Barney frank ever made on Camera is when he farted and crapped his pants on Rachel Maddow's TV show

Continue to spout off more liberal/progressive lies.

@khmerRougeRedux More rightwing talking points that have no creditability to them. Clearly you have no idea at all what CRA ratings are either. Pulling out the Acorn card doesn't helping you case either. Frank was not pushing subprime lending and Freddie and Fannie were just backstopping these mortgages. I recommend you reading the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission report. Do you know who Randall Kroszner and Sheila Blair are?

@StealThisIdentity "Predatory"....My ass!!...The Liberals in DC (The Dem's) at the time of the Sub-prime lending fiasco, put massive pressure on all banks to give mortgage money to any fool that could fog up a mirror, by re-writing the qualification standards for mortgage loans. The Dem's, like this moron Barney Frank, told them; "Not to worry, Fannie/Freddie will take the mortgages".
In the end, the taxpayers got screwed, while Fannie/Freddie still lose billions per year.
Thank you Barney!!

@Dealit707 ".The Liberals in DC put massive pressure on all banks to give mortgage money to any fool by re-writing the qualification standards for mortgage loans." If someone makes murder legal, there's no pressure on me2 murder anyone. Crimes consist of motive & opportunity. The major issue here is not the legislation that provided the opportunity, IMO it's the greedy motivation of the mortgage companies. I challenge u2 show me wording in the legislation to pressure mor. companies

@girardbcp Nobody said Republicans didn't push for home ownership. The point is that Frank tried to say he HADN'T, when he had. Both parties fell into that trap. But it was liberal social engineering, even though Republicans got on board. We conservatives are against liberal social engineering, whichever party is perpetrating it.

@girardbcp Well yes, Frank bears much of the responsibility. But saying so doesn't mean we say Republicans have no responsibility.
Now, as for your sarcastic patronization. This may surprise you, but the term social engineering has been around for a long time. It's even older than Newt Gingrich. Using the term does not constitute a Newt soundbite. When you go around using terms like Faux News, please don't make fun of anyone else's lack of wit or originality.

@girardbcp Faux News? Again . . . really? Clever. Barney Frank was in a position of power. He was not CHAIRMAN, but was opposition leader of financial services during the early 2000's. He used his power to resist Republican efforts to reign in Fanny and Freddie, insisting that they were in no financial trouble. As it turns out, they were in financial trouble. Again, if you are going to make fun of other's originality and wit, don't use worn out terms like Faux News.
stubbynuggs 2 months ago
@stubbynuggs Faux news is an accurate portrayal of Fox News. It's both a play on words and in French, which as a Faux News viewer you must hate that so much! Freedom fries!
Anyways, back to Frank, he has some blame but you should blame more on Chairman Oxley and before it was another Republican who held that chair on the committee on financial services: Jim Leach (1995-2001). Blame them 2, they had way more power than Frank. Blame Bush, Greenspan, Rubin, Clinton & Summers, people in real power.

And I do not regularly watch Fox News, whatever you have been told about "my kind". See how that can work both ways?
stubbynuggs 2 months ago
@stubbynuggs If you will read my comments, I never laid all the blame on Frank. I clearly began this argument by saying lots of people were at fault. But LIBERALISM is the culprit, whether perpetrated by Dems or Reps. It was begun under Carter with the Community Reinvestment Act and was made worse under Clinton. The policies were continued under Bush and the Republican congress. But, Bush and the R's did try to reign in Fanny and Freddie. Frank stopped them, and lied.
