Chairman Frank Asks CEOs - Why do you need bonuses?

[gopconservative78]

Hey Barney Fag.....why did you give idiots with credit scores below 500 and give them 500,000 Mortgage? Typical Liberal idiot that knows nothing about Finance

[NarcolepticDogstar]

@gopconservative78 Hey ASSHOLE, guess what? It's not about LIBERAL OR CONSERVATIVE, BUT YOUR THE JERKOFF WHO KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT FINANCE, DICK HEAD. t's called PREDATORY LENDING because these assholes fucking systematically disasembled fucking economic checks and balances that had been in place since the DEPRESSION, when they ALSO purposely sold america up the river. They fucking made loans they KNEW WOULD NOT BE REPAID, bribed the ratings people keeping freddie/frannie/countrywide rated AAA

[gopconservative78]

@NarcolepticDogstar typical Communist insanity.....now go run off and jerk off to your hero Stalin......

[NarcolepticDogstar]

@gopconservative78 till the DAY THEY FAILED, they also took out complicated DERIVITAVE SWAPS AGAINST THE BAD LOANS, PUSHED THEIR CLIENTS TO INVEST IN COUNTRYWIDE AND F & F whilst privately calling them "SHIT", they FURTHER INSURED THEMSELVES HEAVILY AGAINST THE DERIVITAVES BY TAKING OUT INSURANCE AGAINST AIG W/WHOM THEY HELD THEM, KNOWING AIG WOULD FAIL, then they fucking FORCED AIG INTO A BAD DEAL AND TO SIGN THEY WOULDNT SUE THEM. I used to be liberal, now I hate more than RT & LFT PPL LK U

[NarcolepticDogstar]

@gopconservative78 And BY THE WAY, for your retarded moronic information, BARNEY DIDNT FUCKING GIVE THE PEOPLE WHO ARE AS UNEDUCATED AS YOU AND SWIMMING WITH SHARKS THE LOANS, these fucking CRIMINALS DID. You not only know nothing about finance, you don't even know what the fuck your SAYING. It is MEANINGLESS and CLUELESS. Ass. Are you a homophobe? You sure like that fucking media and wall street cock up your brainwashed ass though huh?

[NarcolepticDogstar]

@gopconservative78 Ive got a beautiful girlfriend, but i've sucked cock and YOUR THE FAGGOT.

[Welsh77]

i love how barney frank seems to think that its his money that's going to the bonuses. sooo ironic, that he can spend taxpayer money, money that isn't his, however he wants, yet when someone else is making money that he didn't even earn, he's complaining. they get bonuses because the market dictates it, get over it, it ISN'T your money. start complaining about the money that is yours, namely the tax money that frank and other keynes waste on useless stimulus.

[fortyaider]

@Welsh77 the market dictates that all these banks should be bankrupt and all these scum bankers should be homeless in the street.

[rewire69]

its funny nancy posted this and shes a part of the problem

[SeeProfileForDetails]

@MetagalaticLamas most people are fat because of genes, not because of over eating. Some people stay slim even if they are rich, I can point you to plenty of greedy people that are slim.

[freemason2187]

cant believe this idiot got re-elected once again.

[idangle6]

hahahahahahaahahahah i love him

[scrantonsux]

Barney is gr8 !!!

[salmer666]

WHAT IS THIS ASS FUCKER TALKING ABOUT. couldn't you compare pork barrel spending to that of a bonus as so long as you vote the right way. HEY barney shut your fucken mouth and go wash the shit off your dick.

[VTCJM]

dont blame the people taking the bonus's, blame the ones offering it... REAL money there...

[lamiac2411]

Wall street has invaded our entire government. Sad to say America is falling and will continue to fall until we get these scum out of government! Which will never happen. They go from the bank to the treasurery, or straight to the fed, all looking out for their old bank partners. It's all corrupted, and were all fucked:(

[judyleasugar97]

Thank God for people like Barney Frank. He has integrity!

[lionheart270866]

Sufferin sukatash! I'm a chairman even. Exit stage left or is that direct to the lispers of America convention. Where's my can a corn?

"Frank"-ly Barney I don't give a damn.

[PreciousbyHIM]

Who would be stupid to listen to Barney Franks??????????

Franks is DIRTY!!!!!!!!!!!!! And Franks is dirtier than anyone sitting on the Wall Street Board. Ask Frank about his big bonus from Freddie and Frannie!!! Or SHUT UP!!!!.

[okaniadviser]

most stupid senator, I came in US thinking here is the smart people in politics, but seems to be not. The stupidity in this govt reminds me when 3 grader asks you a questions and can't understand answers.

Second thing - what you'll achieve by trying get some millions of bonuses back by taxes? when there are billions & trillions of loses and they're still coming. Crappy politicians don't know what to do. Greed is the motor for the development. Go back to socialism or communism.

[icmp]

Greed is the root of all evil. Enough said.

[Johnhighfive]

Bonuses for what? Jesus what kind of question is that?... ..... where the hell is my whiskey? I need someTahitian Orange Spice noni, with fine asparagus and caviar..........wuhh bee doo.!!..

[wanghobb]

but these guys are soooooo TALENTED!!! These CEO's could make a better record than the Beatles or Led Zeppelin. Sooo talented..

[kathicII]

Guys guess what. They took the CEO salary caps out of the new bill. Why? Cause those CEOs donate to the Dems and Reps.

[natbedfor]

Barney Frank = needs to be investigated for not doing his job. And who are the people that keep sending this nitwit back to Washington. Is it they don't want him there?

[dannerfarmer]

Facts on Queen Palosi:

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi's home district includes San Francisco.

Star-Kist Tuna's headquarters are in San Francisco, Pelosi's home district.

Star-Kist is owned by Del Monte Foods and is a major contributor to Pelosi.

Paul Pelosi, Nancy's husband, owns $17 million dollars of Star-Kist stock.

BOYCOTT: Del Monte & Starkist Foods

[70road]

Just keep auguring Democrat, Republican, conservative, liberal because you are doing exactly what the true owners want you to do. Keep your eye on the ball and don't be such tools.

[spokeshole]

For the first time in my life I am NOT proud

of my liberal socialist country.

[ManufacturedThoughts]

BOYCOTT PROPERTY TAXES as a Collective. Have property taxes gone down since the value of your homes have gone down?

[Gillz17]

Nancy,

Please stop lying to yourself... liberalism is what has put the US in this position. Barney Frank and the other Democrats encouraged mortgages for low income families because that is their voting base. As usual Dems did not think it through as many of them couldn't pay for the mortgages and here we are in the credit crisis.

I get liberals want to blame Bush but his only fault in terms of the economy is that he let the Democrat controlled Congress get away with destroying the US.

[islamkoonem]

Why is this fuck-stick, frank, in office? Clueless liberals.

[Dewdaahman]

noone is worth $1,000,000,000 a year , end of story..

[MeLikeGoFast]

If this crisis started because of lack of regulation, like the democrats suggest, and the government is in charge of regulation.

Why are any of these politicians getting their paychecks?

They even just had a democratic "retreat" on the taxpayers dime.

Typical liberal hypocracy at its best.

[bbnemesis123]

CEO bonuses ..... wtf

What about Politicians getting money from Lobbyist? A bigger crook trying to call out crook. You scumbag politicians selling America out for special interests through funds.

Hey Nancy... I hear AIPAC and Israel Pres. Shimon Peres calling...they want you put sanctions against the Middle East for them. Nancy, you Zionist-controlled cunt!!!

As if politicians can say anything about bonuses...

How about politicians giving a list of their lobbyists funds they receive?

[wiles911]

Nancy, how can you put this tool on? He's the problem. That's right, you're the WORST speaker EVER!!!!!!

[rexzeitgeist]

Nancy, you evil circus freak. You and that fat pedophilia Bwaney Fwank disgust me. You are scum.

[spokeshole]

Two words------Term Limitations.

[MeLikeGoFast]

You are very right my friend.

[WAKINGUPAMERICA]

Barny took money from Freddy-Fanie May so lets ask him a question or two....These BANKSTERS where working for the corrupt assholes that are questioning them,this is all good cop bad cop drama

[DrunkenPublicness]

I don't disagree that these ass-clowns make way too much money.

At the same time, I hope this doesn't start a precedent for government to step in and start capping wages left and right.

[duffer29]

maybe someone should ask bawney if the $42,000 he got from fanny mae were a bribe.

[boxeranders]

This guy is part of the problem! How can he be part of the solution!!! He should have been indicted over the Fannie Mae Freedie Mac kick backs! along with Dodd!!! But they will put Martha Stewart in prison for lying about her stock. Man! This is just crazy!!!!

[Majorsushifan]

Barney Frank should be in jail. He ignored repeated warnings about the GSEs that created this bank failure. He's more corrupt than Rod Blagojevich. Instead you brain dead idiots get rewarded with more power to sink this country further. Get out of your tiny San Francisco bubble and think about what you are doing.

[DavesMx6]

I think the American people can dictate if they get bonuses or not. I love how the neo cons come on here and complain that we are questioning CEOs of failing businesses why they deserve a bonus. Yeah, if you do well, you desreve a bonus. If you take a 700 BILLION dollar bailout with almost no oversight to find out where the money is really going then you dont deserve shit. Wake up you dumb motherfuckers. Now you know why you are the minority, you dont have a rational thought process.

[duffer29]

your gonna love it when the government steps in says how much you're allowed to make.

[billpatton1]

You, Ms. Pelosi, along with Barney Frank, Chris Dodd, Maxine Waters, and Harry Reid should all be sitting in jail cells for the path that you have led our country down. (Oh, and let's not forget about those 3 liberal Republicans, Specter, Snowe, and Collins.)

[LiberalsRruiningUs]

Bend over Barney. what a brilliant man he is. Massachusetts morons who keep electing him, Ted the drunk and John the war hero ketchup tycoon have done more to ruin this country than any other state in the nation. Then again there is California

[rh152]

WTF? he doesn't know how a bonus works and why it is good for businesses and employees? Has this guy ever had a real job or worked for a real company?

[icetraigh]

"The poll found 37 percent approving of the way Congress is doing its job; just 8 percent "strongly" approve. Conversely, 59 percent disapprove; 28 percent disapprove strongly."

Pelosi, please resign for the good of our country.

[Freedomfighter1951]

If any of them could run a business, none of them would be in Congress. Only losers make a career in politics.

Reid, Pelosi, and Frank are just three reasons why the states need to call a Constitutional Convention to put term limits on members of Congress...

Senator Robert KKK Byrd has been in Congress for nearly as long as I have been alive, and that is 58 years.

[moski3]

WHAT A FUCKING IDIOT!!

If Bbbbbbarny can't figure out what incentives are, no one can help him.

I wonder if he can find his own butt hole? Do you think he knows how to wipe yet?? I am sure his boyfriend that ran the prostitution ring in Bbbbarnys house must have told him where it was!

How in the world is he still alive he is so stupid! Nancy is right in front of B b b b b b arny in the stupid aisle. She is so stupid, she posted this thinking it made the Dems look good!

How funny is that!!!

[icetraigh]

Hey, you idiots keep voting these idiots into office. "RAWR RAWR I'd rather vote for a brick than the other party, so I'll keep Pelosi, Reid, etc. in office."

Next time you see a Libertarian on the ballot, vote for them.

[Radislav001]

Hey Nancy like those poll numbers 3 times lower then bush's with a low of 6%...dont you think you should step down for the good of the country??

[prettyred3]

Are these ppl actually elected by sane persons, he sounds like a raving lunatic, not to mention who the hell gives him the right to dictate how CEOs are compensated.

I wonder if he would care if Americans dictated whether he got a salary or not.

[codemwatch]

A Bonus is not a bribe, it is an incentive. Do a good job, run your company well, get more compensation. Now I know Barney does not understand that some people might actually want to get rewarded for working hard and doing a good job. The Socialist democrat Party wants to give everyone a blue ribbon for participating and not reward exceptional performance. On the contrary, Queen Nancy and her crowd want to penalize success and reward under achievement.

[codemwatch]

Late 2004 there were hearings and every single democrat insisted there was no problem with the GSE's. They did not need more oversight. Barney Frank saw nothing to suggest there were any issues with the safety and soundness of Freddie and Fannie.

Didn't his former boyfriend used to be an exec and Fannie Mae while he was relieving campaign contributions? Wasn't one of his former boyfriends running a male prostitution ring out of Frank's house?

[underbird]

What planet does this guy come from. THIS IS NOT THE GOVERNMENT'S CONCERN. I cant believe Pelosi's channel put this up. Is this a joke?

[chifour66]

Give me a break!!! Everyone and their brother discusses how this is the worst Congress ever. Frank, Pelosi and Reid are so tone deaf to the American people, they spend all their time trying to gin up the nuts with WEALTH ENVY. The TARP program came to the banks with no strings attached. So, how do they get to say what they will do with the money? When is Frank going to be grilled for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac? I trust the CEO's way more than I do Frank and gang!!!!

[icetraigh]

Pelosi, I hope you have a seizure very very soon, you worthless troll. And you wonder why congress' approval rating is so low... lol idiot

[Drumboy5165]

How does this A-hole maintain ANY sort of employment?

Hey Barney, I want you to try to get a private sector job, without your commie lib friends help! My guess is McDonalds wouldn't hire you, my apologies to McDonalds workers!

Can this guy be branded a traitor and be treated as such??

[jonrok76]

Slobbering Barney at it again! Has he ever held a real job? He thinks bonuses are like bribes?! lol Bonuses are earned when you surpass the agreed standards. Bribes are earned when you act serve the interest of other than what you're committed to. I'm sure his only experience is as a politician earning 'bribes'. Slobbering Barney is a joke.

[uttles]

This is coming from the same idiot who said in 2004 that there was absolutely no problem with Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. Now the idiot thinks he knows how best to compensate CEOs.

[stgianna]

Dumbass. If his communist dreams come true he would be the first one they would shoot.

Useful idiot.

[HowTheWorldWorks]

Nancy Pelosi is a Mental Patient.

watch?v=vMOCym_8u9k

[navyman0290]

Nancy 'Botox' Pelosi's and Harry Reid's massive shopping spree using our hard-earned money and anointed by BHO is the LARGEST HANDOVER from private sector to the government in U.S. history. We already know what happens when gov't takes over anything - corruption

[pennieless]

BOTH FRANK AND DODD SHOULD BE IN JAIL.

[MrHardrod2]

@pennieless Everyone is covering up for someone. Corruption has finally been exposed in North America. It used to be that this kind of thing only happens in small banana republic country in Latin America or in Asia or Africa but not in North America and certainly not in developed Industrialized countries. What has happened to the morals of high society in America? It seems these people don't have any shame at all.

[peep237]

It amazes me how many non-thinking people will adamently defend the rich corporations whose interests are diametrically opposed to their own. Voting against one's interests is beyond my comprehension.

[karen32862]

Here is an even more important question: Why does Barney Frank still have anything to do with the Financial Services Committee? Why is Frank even still in office? Even better, when will Barney Frank and Chris Dodd be grilled for their inappropriate business dealings that conflict with the Peoples business?

[Philthy08]

Barney Frank is a babbling idiot....He is partially responsible for the economic crisis and he's hassling these guys.

[therealcaptobvious]

Oh why is Frank whining NOW after he gave exclusive control of the bailout to Paulson? This is a joke, right?

We all know that congress isn't full of economic experts, but common sense would apply. If you don't understand it, hire independant auditors to assess and interpret the situation. Seriously. Instead Congress plays the part of the victim when they're a bunch of lying thieves.

[fangorn23]

allow me to answer the question for them "We need bonuses because that's what we brag about to each other most. Without bonuses we wont have bragging rights with the rest of Wall Street."

like enviro said, let them eat toxic assets.

[EnviroMonster]

Let them eat toxic assets.Failure is as failure does.
