| 2011-11-28 |
 ht AOSHQRep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.) will announced Monday that he is not seeking re-election, CNN reported Monday morning. Frank, the ranking member of the House Financial Services Committee was the architect with Sen. Chris Dodd (D-Conn.) of the sweeping financial reform bill that bears their names. And will always be remembered for ruining this country to the best of his abilities. FOAD |

| #12 With both of the most destructive democrats gone (dodd and frank) Obama can deflect the mess on them during the election. I will give barney credit for one thing; he wanted to make housing affordable for everyone. Now that they are practically free in some areas (like Detroit) his work is done. |

| #10 CrazyFool, while I agree with the sentiment I don't think any politician is going to follow through on that, otherwise we'd already have heard a lot more about his role in the collapse. |

| #9 remember he gets to convert his 'reelection campaign' money to personal use "You can go to hell, I'm going to Fire Island!" |

| #8 even better - Maxine Waters (D-Corrupt Racist Bitch) now becomes the ranking Dem on the Financial Service Committee. The fun just gets better |

| #4 Don't forget his hand (as well as Chris Dodd's) as one of the primary instigators of the housing meltdown of '08. Personally I think he should be in prison doing hard labor. |

| #2 ...remember he gets to convert his 'reelection campaign' money to personal use after he leaves Congress. Why blow it on an iffy gamble at the polls? |

| #1 He knows his connections with Fannie and Freddie will be all over the news during the election cycle and even he might have a real fight this go around. The nation is better without him and I simply wish there was a way to bill him for the damage he's done, even if its not complete sacrificing his generous congressional pension would be a start. |
