WASHINGTON - Barney Frank has been one of the staunchest defenders of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and their mission to increase access to affordable housing. Now he’s helping to lead the charge to dismantle the troubled mortgage giants.

The US representative from Newton recently made it clear that Fannie and Freddie have little support left in Washington when he said they should be abolished. As chairman of the House Financial Services Committee he could be a leading architect in their possible demise, working with his committee colleagues and the Obama administration to rebuild the mortgage finance industry.

No Barney wants it shut down so the evidence of his crimes can be destroyed.

Why exactly is the government doing anything? Are they saying that they made such a wonderful success of Fannie and Freddie that they are now ready to really make a go of a new GSE?

Been trying to avoid a visualization of Barney F arriving at a point of clarity.

A bit late isn’t he?
What his take is not big enough?

[Oceander]

That's a start, but we still need to have the head of Bawney's political career on a platter - silver or otherwise - before we can conclude that the sad, tawdry affair of Fannie and Freddie is behind us. There is no substantive difference between Mr. Frank and any of the ponzi-scheme operators who have received their just deserts; it is high time that Mr. Frank joined them.

The economic meltdown’s orchestration has been revealed. I heard Boortz gripe about the deficit, then Rush, and now Hannity — all singing to the choir as if we don’t get it. Why the heck are they ducking this?

“Been trying to avoid a visualization of Barney F arriving at a point of clarity.”

I can sympathize.
