Posted on October 14, 2008 by bostonkayakguy 
AS the Top Ten Culprits of the Collapse continues to roll out, we wonder when the first politician will make an appearance on Anderson Cooper’s list.
AIG/Cassano, Lehman/Fuld, SEC/Cox…those in the government who played pivotal roles in the financial fiasco are many.
Who will make their appearance in the #7 slot?
Stay tuned…

“Responding to charges that he bears some responsibility for the crisis in the mortgage industry, Rep. Barney Frank, D-Newton, said that as a minority congressman for many years he did not have the power to implement regulations sooner.” -Barney Frank, 10/06 /08 WickedLocal.com
 
Barney, come on!
You’ve been a member of Congress since 1981!  And now you would have us believe that the congressman from Massachusetts is just a shy, retiring representative who was  not able to exert any power or influence until he became chairman of the Financial … (1 comments)

House Financial Services Committee
via Wikipedia
Just the tip of today’s prognostications!…
But be assured that Barney Frank announced today that the bailout was aimed basically at Joe Sixpack - the auto salespeople, construction workers, people in small businesses - not the banks; he said they were going to do “just fine.”
The bailout was to take the burden off the “average citizen,” and not aimed at helping out the wealthy “Wall St.” types.
The House Financial Services Chairman did NOT offer “proof” of how the average citizen would benefit, nor did … (1 comments)

Calling all taxpayers!
 
Barney Frank, the congressman with the faulty memory of late, has called a press conference for Oct.6, Monday at 10:30 am at Newton City Hall to discuss the federal bailout, (and perhaps why he’ll be bailing on future Bill O’Reilly appearances!)

The bailout..what is it exactly bailing out?  Or perhaps more importantly, WHO is it bailing out?
Well to get to these answers, which of course you won’t find coming out of any of the mainline media, you have to look back.  In fact, if you go back to 1999 the time was the Clinton administration and the place was a conference on mortgage markets for America’s Community Bankers.
Speaking at the conference was chairman of the Federal Reserve Alan Greenspan:

housing: BAILOUT HAS FAILED... - 09/29/08 06:13 AM
Members of Congress have balked at "legacy vote."
 
Bailout has now failed and is off the table.
 
Not enough time has been available to build the political case for the bailout bill.
 
Bill contained no real caps on CEO parachutes.
 
At one point there was a 700 point drop in the stock market.
 
Small companies are likely to be among the first to feel the impact of the rejection of the bailout bill.
 
Where do we go from here?
