Not the kind of person we need teaching in our schools. Pathetic.

Barney Franks as the Financial & Housing top guy since 2006 mid terms, is the sole cause of what happened under Bush.

Chair of the House Financial Services Committee



During the subprime mortgage crisis, Frank was characterized as "a key deal-maker, an unlikely bridge between his party’s left-wing base and [...] free market conservatives" in the Bush administration.[64][65] Hank Paulson, the U.S. Treasury Secretary for the Bush administration, said he enjoyed Frank’s penchant for brokering deals, "he is looking to get things done and make a difference, he focuses on areas of agreement and tries to build on those."[64]
In an interviewe quoted in the New York Times, Barney Frank acknowledged supporting the continual increase of FHA loans despite an unprecedented rise in defaults: "I don't think it's a bad thing that the bad loans occurred," he said. "It was an effort to keep prices from falling too fast. That's a policy." http://www.nytimes.com/2009/10/09/bu...ewanted=2&_r=2

I heard an audio tape from a union meeting that discussed their involvement in the crash group. Maybe that is where they learned the behaviors?? The crashers at the party in Lansing were gross. One had a huge penis on his protest sign, they were actually very easy to pick out, as they looked nothing like anyone else there. They were the only ones to draw police attention and intervention. Their attempt was impotent and of no effect. There was also a heckler, not sure if he was part of that group, but after the speaker commended him on expression of his 1st amendment rights, he pretty much shut up and went home.

YouTube - Racist Tea Party Signs.
From the article:

Quote:
He has said he would seek to embarrass Tea Partiers by attending their rallies dressed as Adolf Hitler, carrying signs bearing racist, sexist and anti-gay epithets, and acting as offensively as possible — anything short of throwing punches.
