Quit the bullshit he warned Barney Frank about Freddie and frannie and he did nothing.Through much of our early history, the role of President was still being defined. May Presidents just floundered in their job as they did absolutely nothing. Many historians list Presidents like Buchannon or Filmore as the worst
In modern times, post 1900, George W Bush is universally considered the worst
He was given tough times and had a chance to either excel or fail miserably. Bush failed miserably
His response to 9-11 was to invade and nation build. He suspended human rights and engaged in torture. He botched the execution of two wars and left our soldiers vulnerable. 7000 died unnecessarily because of his decisions
Economically, he started two wars and paid for them with tax cuts. He stood by in denial as the economy crashed around him and the nation narrowly avoided a depression
Barney Frank was a minor Congressman with no legislative power
He was the chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, beginning in 2007.
So Frank was named chairman in January 2007 and millions of people rushed out, bought houses and defaulted on them within nine months of Frank taking the chairmanship
