If you can find any other proof besides fox news I'd entertain it.

The democrats were in charge for 2 of the last 8 years.

Fox news? Its live video from congressional hearings. that is really alan greenspan's voice. that isn't some Fox news voice-over thing. That's really him talking. That's also really Barney Frank saying that Fanny and Freddy are fine and that the republicans should calm down. They need to be loaning more money not less.

Does that dipshit Barney Franks have any kind of job in Obama's administration?

Ok. I thought Barney Franks was the Chairman of the House Financial Services Committee.

Quote:n September 2003, Frank, then the ranking Democrat on the Republican-led Financial Services Committee, opposed a Bush administration proposal for transferring oversight of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac from Congress and the Department of Housing and Urban Development to a new agency that would be created within the Treasury Department. The proposal reflected the administration's belief that Congress "neither has the tools, nor the stature" for adequate oversight. Frank stated, "These two entities...are not facing any kind of financial crisis.... The more people exaggerate these problems, the more pressure there is on these companies, the less we will see in terms of affordable housing."[42]

Conservative groups have criticized Frank for campaign contributions from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac ($42,350 between 1989 and 2008). They further claim the donations influenced his support of their lending programs, and they have partially blamed Frank for not playing a stronger role in reforming Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac in the years leading up to the Economic crisis of 2008.[43][44] In addition, Frank's former partner, Herb Moses, was an executive at Fannie from 1991 to 1998, where Moses helped develop many of Fannieâs affordable housing and home improvement lending programs. In 1991, Frank pushed for reduced restrictions on two- and three-family home mortgages.[45] Frank and Moses' relationship ended around the same time Moses left the company; Frank's support of Fannie and Freddie predated and continued past that relationship.

^^ From Wikipedia. Is that part of Fox news?

Franks been in congress for a few decades.How can you link what he does to Obama?How can you point at one idiot on the Democrat side and lump the whole party in with him?

i didn't click that link, but i know fox news is politically motivated. i'm just saying that clip on youtube is factual and not something they made up.

Yea but to put it in the frame of reference like one guy is representative of the whole party is ludicrous.Frank is an idiot.His claim to fame is being a gay elected official.

msnbc is the lefts version of fox.
both parties contributed to this mess. big business owns both parties. we have done the best when the president and congress are from differing parties (clinton).

If you can show me where MSNBC helped convince its whole audience that war with another country was the right thing to do I'll agree with you.

Not that I've ever seen.A guest maybe.I never heard of him until you forced me to google him.He sounds like a dick.

Seriously read that link I posted.Sean Hannity is a lunatic and he's one of their biggest guys with millions watching.MSNBC has Olberman (who I'm not a fan of)but he's far less popular and he's not on a different planet as Hannity seems to be.Anyone who watches that crap is seriously a scary human being to me.

hannity is nuts.
so is rachel maddow on msnbc.
anyone who blindly gets in line with a particular party on all fronts has no mind of their own.

Democrats caused the Economic Crisis - BIRD33 - 02-18-2009

Maddow is peanuts compared to Hannity.What has Maddow done thats more disgusting than Hannity calling everyone unamerican or unpatriotic if they disagree with him?
