http://www.huffingtonpost.com/rep-barney-frank/is-there-an-antidote-to-t_b_176538.html An example of amnesia is the 'minor detail' that Edward Liddy was appointed CEO of AIG in September '08. President Obama was elected President of USA on November 4, 2008. In the eagerness to demagogue everything, the 'talking heads' get their basic facts wrong. Mario responds: A "minor detail" can become a "major misrepresentation" when used out of context. Once again we see far left wing propaganda and the typical half-truths citing far left wing blogs and disreputable politicians. The antidote for amnesia are facts in proper context, not propaganda repeated endlessly. In Gilbert's favorite source of misinformation above, we see Rep. Barney Frank one of the main architects of the current financial crisis trying desperately to point fingers away from him. He says, "In recent weeks, my friends across the aisle have expended a lot of breath proclaiming that the Democrats caused the present financial crisis by failing to pass legislation to regulate financial services companies in the years 1995 through 2006." This is a classic Barney Frank deception because he stops at 2006, hoping no one will remember that HE was the Chairman of the House Financial Services Committee in 2007 and 2008, and as the following video will show defended and protected the lowered lending standards for low income home owners, as he had done under the previous administration of Bill Clinton. Barney Frank has already been exposed by his own words and actions in several news reports by reputable media, like this one: http://www.businessandmedia.org/printer/2008/20080924145932.aspx and in this video report: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cMnSp4qEXNM&NR=1 Anyone who does their own independent research, instead of relying on far left wing propaganda blogs like the Huffington Post, will find that Edward Liddy was hand picked to run AIG by President Obama and his teleprompter's current Treasury Secretary, Tim Geithner, who was directly and intimately in charge of the bailout of AIG last year when he was Chairman of the New York Federal Reserve Bank. Senator Obama and his teleprompter did not object to the appointment of Edward Liddy last year as he could have as a Senator. Liddy was retained after Obama and his teleprompter became president and Geithner is still in charge of the AIG bailout, so he's their man now, notwithstanding the spirited attempt by the far left wingers pretending that he is still an appointee of the previous administration.
