I must recognize the outstanding leadership provided by Chairman Barney Frank, whose enormous intellectual and strategic abilities have never before been so urgently needed, or so widely admired.

Heckuva job, Barney.

    it would make one of them gay. I’m just not sure which one. Just sayin’….

    Regardless, they deserve each other for their complicity in wrecking the American economy.

    resign their chairmanships as part of any bailout. It’s an outrage that they show their faces anywhere after their brazen duplicity and criminality have contributed to the crisis.

    I’m very pleased at the failure of this bill. Anytime the word “comprehensive” is used I check my wallet because it’s going to cost me in money and freedom. I’m also opposed to socialism and this is a step on the road to serfdom as anyone can see.

    I want hearings and then trials and convictions of at least the magnitude of those wreaked on Enron for the managers of the FMs and their political cronies.

    While not a popular sentiment on RS, I also blame the President for doing a really lousy job of selling his point of view from the time Paulson floated it over a week ago.

    Let’s not even talk about the lack of consultation with House Republicans by the President evident in this whole mess.

    I’d add a “Heck of job Bushie” to your list.

    for once, I’m thankful that W did a lousy job of getting the message across. It was a message that would march us significantly further down the road toward the Marxist state that Sens. Clinton and Obama have sought since their college days.

    The MSM is making Pelosi the hero and pubbies the bad guys – the whining about the speech is being touted up and down.

    Keep in mind when Obama makes statements like this he is deliberately lying on tv to cover up the Fannie mae scandal and praying you dont catch on.

    “We did not arrive at this moment by some accident of history. This was not a normal part of the business cycle. This was not just a few bad apples on Wall Street. This crisis is a direct result of a philosophy that the folks running Washington have been following for decades. It?s a philosophy that says we should give more and more to those with the most and hope that prosperity trickles down to everyone else; a philosophy that says even common-sense regulations are unnecessary and unwise; a philosophy that lets lobbyists shred consumer protections and put the needs of special interests ahead of working people. And what we have seen over the last few weeks is the final verdict on this failed philosophy. It is time to turn the page.”

      It wasn’t a “lousy job”. It was his standard fare. Since getting approval to go into Iraq I don’t think he’s said ten words to the Congress on any subject.
