You shout bias here, but then you use two of the four "sources" are far-left leaning websites, one is an association of Injury Trial Lawyers (aka ambulance chasers) who have a clear and definite left-wing bias, and the prospect.org which is a far left propaganda mouthpiece. Then you use a youtube video of Barney Frank emphatically shouting down his opposition to claim that he and the libs were the ones who tried to stop this meltdown on a talking head show, when scott gags already posted another video, TAKEN DIRECTLY FROM A CONGRESSIONAL HEARING, that has Barney and his lib buddies stating repeatedly that there was no problem at all and attacking the regulator for doing too good of a job finally exposing Fannie and Freddie. Oh, and just so you know, Freddie and Fannie have donated a LOT of money to Barney Frank. It's pretty clear why. Oh and the Wall Street Journal link might be useful, but since we can't read the whole story without subscribing, it does us and your argument little good. Yes, the public school system has clearly failed you.
