barny franks sghould be tared and feathered and run out on a rail .

what a freaking tool you are. you let this happen and you had no problem voting on a bill with out reading it . Then again he might have been to tired from his all night of poppers and glory holes

[salinagrrrl69]

Cut the guy some empathetic slack. Those should be Loud pink ostrich feathers. After all honey if he must be tarred you have to let Barns be fashionably feathered.

The FIRST thing Barney Frank says on EVERY interview is ... "I was not to blame" or "I didn't take leadership until ...", etc.

He is always VERY quick to deflect blame.

Well done Massachusetts !!

Any of you clowns happen to look at the roll call on the vote and notice that McCotter voted against the bill in spite of his opening remark stating he would support it. One born every minute.

Someone needs to ask that puke Barney if he's ever going to start monitoring welfare recipients and affordable housing thiefs the way he's monitoring and going after AIG!!! They want to watch everything they give federal money to, then start watching the "victims" who have fleeced this country for decades in the "War on Poverty"!!! A govt handout is a govt handout - from the bottom of the barrell to the top of the heap, people will treat it the same and take advantage as if there's no bottom.

This is crazy!! How do you sign a bill rushed through at the last moment and use that as the excuse? It is your obiligation and responsibility to complete your due diligence prior to passing something of this magnitude. If not remove yourself from office! WAKE UP SHEEPEOPLE!!!

I live in his district. Trust me, the voters here have made this clown bullet-proof.

[bryandenehy76]

Barney Frank is full of shit, he says one thing and does another. This man acts like a peoples politician but is really a liar and a crook.

[rungy07]

Yeah, right in the nick of time eh Barney? Take care in your dealings with him Representative McCotter, he's the kind of slime that is working very hard to trash our great nation, and lots of people know it. He defends the fed as if he were a member of it's owners families ( the Rockefellers and the Rothschilds )

[Bmckay1968]

Thank you Mr McCotter from one of your fellow district constituents, some should do there homework before making a comment or giving there opinion about something they know nothing about. Not enough leaves I guess! The Dems really blew this one even Rep. B. Frank agreed! Read the Bill before you vote on a Bill makes sense to me I dont care how long it takes to read it! Its my 30%plus of tax dollars

Isn't it public knowledge that it was Dodd who removed the clause from the bill?

He was the #2 reciever of dollars from AIG during the 2008 campaign, guess who was #1...

[1helluvaguy]

I thought Dodd was #1?

[1warpig]

Nope, that would be Obama. Only by a few hundred dollars though. They both got over $100,000 bollars from that one company.

AIG in total spent something like 26 million on the 2008 presidential campaign... god bless america.

To Mr McCotter or one of his staff who monitors this site. I have a question. What is the base salary of those who got the bonuses? I'm sure they are varied. I here that some in the financial market get a meager salary and depend greatly on their bonus. If an employee is making pennies throughout the year and is busting his ass for that huge payday bonus, wouldn't you just consider that just his salary? If the employee received a respectable base pay, then their bonus wouln't be as crucial

Thank you Rep McCotter!!!!!
