The White House has released this statement on Barney Frank's retirement from President Obama, who has been meeting with European Union leaders since around noon:

For over 30 years, Barney has been a fierce advocate for the people of Massachusetts and Americans everywhere who needed a voice. He has worked tirelessly on behalf of families and businesses and helped make housing more affordable. He has stood up for the rights of LGBT Americans and fought to end discrimination against them.

Obama should be a bile harvester after he leaves office. Everything that POSPOTUS says and does makes the bile come up in millions of people, so it’s only natural that he could make profitable use of it in his “green” campaign. And it’s organic too!

In other words:

Obama is happy to have been behind Barney as often as possible.

Obama will miss their close connection.

Obama hopes to stay in touch and maintain frequent contact.
