Who wants to thank Mr Barney Frank for all this "affordable housing"?

He -- and many others were too dumb to see where this would lead. It's great that they were making it possible for the low income to be home owners, but now the whole global economy is suffering and they should be held accountable.

My favorite Barney Frank quote:

"These two entities—Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac—are not facing any kind of financial crisis," said Representative Barney Frank of Massachusetts, the ranking Democrat on the Financial Services Committee. "The more people exaggerate these problems, the more pressure there is on these companies, the less we will see in terms of affordable housing."

O.K., Barney! So we didn't put "more pressure" on "these companies" and look at all this "affordable housing" that we now enjoy.

THANKS, BARNEY! THANKS A WHOLE LOT!!

OH! I forgot ... it's our fault!

Now that the bubble has burst and the "systemic risk" is apparent to all, Frank blithely declares: "The private sector got us into this mess."

WHAT A HOOT, BARNEY! YOU SURE ARE FUNNY!
THANKS FOR ALL THE LAUGHS.

typical republican response. The buck stops at mid-level management.

Next are you going to tell us that Lyndie England was the mastermind behind the US torture program?
