Barney Frank: Obama ‘lied’ about health plans

Rep. Joe Wilson was right. But we all knew that.
I wonder why Barney never mentioned this while he was still in Congress?

Wikipedia should engineer their dictionary to define the word 'lie' using Obama as an example. He makes Clinton look like a lightweight.
Damn strange that the biggest liars...end up being the biggest 'leaders'. Says a lot about our future.

Barney should know, he was a congenital liar himself.

Barney Frank: Obama ‘lied’ about health plans

Wasn't it Barney Frank's Housing loan bill that caused the Great Recession? Not that he's not right here, but isn't he just doing what Dems do all the time, and pointing a finger at someone else? I mean Barney has done more harm to America that almost anyone...

Yes
---------------------------------------------------
Frank aggressively fought reform efforts by the Bush administration. He told The New York Times on Sept. 11, 2003, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac’s problems were “exaggerated.” Exaggerated? Thanks to Fannie and Freddie the housing market collapsed and we fell into this “great recession.”
“These two entities – Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac – are not facing any kind of financial crisis,” Frank Opined to the Times.“The more people exaggerate these problems, the more pressure there is on these companies, the less we will see in terms of affordable housing.”
The 10/8/03 Washington Post reported that Frank opposed giving the Bush administration the approval rights over banking business activities that “could pose risk to the taxpayers.” He worried the Treasury Department “would sacrifice activities that are good for consumers in the name of lowering the companies’ market risks.”
In the video below Frank sits in a 9/10/03 House Financial Services Committee hearing and says Fannie and Freddie are sound, and there is no housing disaster coming.
Rep. Barney Frank (D., Mass.): I worry, frankly, that there’s a tension here. The more people, in my judgment, exaggerate a threat of safety and soundness, the more people conjure up the possibility of serious financial losses to the Treasury, which I do not see. I think we see entities that are fundamentally sound financially and withstand some of the disaster scenarios.
Two years later the United States was much closer to the bursting on the housing bubble. The Republicans in Congress introduced a bill to regulated Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Led by Barney Frank and Chris Dodd the bill was killed.
On June 27, 2005 Barney Frank stood up on the floor of the House of Representatives and told America that there is undue concern about the housing market and even though prices were growing very quickly the housing market is not like the Dot.Com industry, the housing bubble will not burst.

Barney Frank hates women and wants them to die in the gutter.

And Barney Frank paid a dude for sex and then was blissfully unaware as said dude ran a prostitution ring out of Frank's home.
I swear we'd be better off governed by the first 535 names in a metropolitan phone book.

Barney read the bill as thoroughly as Nancy did.

Yet somehow the Dems, with the help of their friends in the media have successfully laid the blame ENTIRELY on Bush.
Dems have learned that their lies will essentially go unchallenged by the media. Coupled with the short attention span of the majority, it's a proven strategy.

Barry and the Democrats told an even larger lie when they said that taxes would not increase. Turns out the entire thing is a collection of taxes. I guess they had to pass it to learn what's in it.

Yeah - the DEMs can shite in the punch bowl and the media will blame the GOP for throwing the party.

Well...In fairness, it wasn't a tax until John Roberts said it was.

To be fairer, John Roberts wouldn't have gotten the chance had Odumbf*ck's Solicitor General not made the argument before the Supreme Court.
So, in another bold face f*cking lie, despite SWEARING to the American people that it wasn't a tax, Obama instructed his Solicitor General to make that argument before the Supreme Court.
And, in an even more bold face f*cking lie, that Scumbag who lives in the White House still maintains that he hasn't raised taxes on the middle class.
