Hadn’t Heard This Angle

Hadn’t Heard This Angle

CNN caught up with outgoing Rep. Barney Frank (D-MA) this evening. And Frank made an argument I hadn’t heard before, not specifically contrasting the Obama years with the closing months of the Bush administration …

George Bush came to us on the Democratic side in late ‘08 and said, we’re in a crisis, we need your help — and we gave it to him, very openly, very fully. Then Obama comes in to try to deal with the terrible situation he inherited from bush and the republican media went into full partisan attack.

Watch.
