First from Barney Frank himself, who admitted Democrats are "trying on every front to increase the role of government."
And just what kind of people are in charge of increasing the role of government on every front? People like Roland Burris who has no clue how government works and can't even utter a coherent sentence.
Thank goodness we have Nancy Pelosi to sort it all out for us.
God have mercy on us...
Oh, and don't forget Alan Grayson, who was called "one fry short of a Happy Meal” by Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-N.Y.).
Hard to have a dialogue when the left is always changing the words and their meaning.
Good thing we have an excellent Chief Executive diligently running the nation.

Seems the Sporting One has upset the female side with his all male sport outings.
Pure and simple ;he's a misogynists . There is a new book about the Obama's (no surprise there ) claiming the Obama marriage was not always the storybook that it is portrayed . Basically Michelle was the breadwinner while Obama pursued social justice. Michelle thought he wasn't pulling his weight and things got rocky. She opposed almost every attempt he made to campaign for an elected position. 'Barack and Michelle: Portrait of a Marriage'. He spent a lot of time playing cards with friends while Michelle was forced to juggle being a career woman and a mom.
There is another new book about to be released by Charles Gasparino ,on-air Editor at CNBC called The Sellout: How Wall Street Greed and Stupidity Destroyed America's Dominance of the Global Financial System .
Hint... Barney Frank and Chris Dodd are among the villians in the account.
You want to trust the guvment with what?
"The government's first accounting of jobs tied to the $787 billion stimulus program claimed more than 30,000 positions paid for with recovery money. But that figure is overstated by least 5,000 jobs, according to an Associated Press review of a sample of stimulus contracts.
"The AP review found some counts were more than 10 times as high as the actual number of jobs; some jobs credited to the stimulus program were counted two and sometimes more than four times; and other jobs were credited to stimulus spending when none was produced."

Peggy Noonan also noted Barney Frank's comment while making a broader point that the American elite is broken .
Peggy Noonan: We're Governed by Callous Children - WSJ.comQuote:
The most sophisticated Americans, experienced in how the country works on the ground, can't figure a way out. Have you heard, “If only we follow Obama and the Democrats, it will all get better”? Or, “If only we follow the Republicans, they'll make it all work again”? I bet you haven't, or not much.
This is historic. This is something new in modern political history, and I'm not sure we're fully noticing it. Americans are starting to think the problems we are facing cannot be solved .
Part of the reason is that the problems—debt, spending, war—seem too big. But a larger part is that our government, from the White House through Congress and so many state and local governments, seems to be demonstrating every day that they cannot make things better. They are not offering a new path, they are only offering old paths—spend more, regulate more, tax more in an attempt to make us more healthy locally and nationally. And in the long term everyone—well, not those in government, but most everyone else—seems to know that won't work. It's not a way out. It's not a path through...
Rep. Barney Frank had just said on some cable show that the Democrats of the White House and Congress "are trying on every front to increase the role of government in the regulatory area." The executive said of Washington: "They don't understand that people can just stop, get out. I have friends and colleagues who've said to me 'I'm done.'" He spoke of his own increasing tax burden and said, "They don't understand that if they start to tax me so that I'm paying 60%, 55%, I'll stop."
He felt government doesn't understand that business in America is run by people, by human beings. Mr. Frank must believe America is populated by high-achieving robots who will obey whatever command he and his friends issue. But of course they're human, and they can become disheartened. They can pack it in, go elsewhere, quit what used to be called the rat race and might as well be called that again since the government seems to think they're all rats. (That would be you, Chamber of Commerce.)...
We are governed at all levels by America's luckiest children, sons and daughters of the abundance, and they call themselves optimists but they're not optimists—they're unimaginative. They don't have faith, they've just never been foreclosed on. They are stupid and they are callous, and they don't mind it when people become disheartened. They don't even notice.
Peggy nails it! (I guess the effects of the kool-aid is wearing off .It's almost comical seeing Noonan pointing fingers at the elites .Maybe she doesn't quite understand that she wrote this op-ed partially looking in the mirror.)
Now you know that when Madame Mimi speaks of 'doing it for the children 'she is speaking of herself and her cronies.
It's sad that Peggy Noonan ;who worked for Reagan is so pessimistic . She worked for one of the great can do optimists of all time .
