2 Videos of 2 demagogues trying to rewrite history of their past statements

Here's two videos to think about on election day, Tuesday 2 November, 2010. The first one is from For America reminding us of what a nightmare Obamacare is. The second one is from CNBC Power Lunch.  It features the master of the disasters known as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, rep Barney Frank, the first openly gay congressman and currently the chairman of the house financial services committee.  In it he states after the FM/FM collapse that he was always opposed to sub prime mortgages and advocated more rental housing??!!  Does he not know most of his statements in congress are on C-Span and in many cases YouTube as well?  The Power Lunch reporters conjured up one statement from 2005 that contradicts his first statement.

Barney Frank attempts to be Big Brother

Have you read George Orwell's novel 1984? The movie's male protagonist, Winston Smith, was a civil servant who rewrote history to suit the government, embodied by Big Brother. The government maintained all records and newspapers. Whenever something happened that was contradicted by past records or policies, the contrary items were purged and replaced with records that supported the new policy.

As you will see in this youtube video of Barney Frank interviewed by Bill O'Reilly on the O'Reilly factor, Mr. Frank seems to think that all the things he said and did in the past would not come back to haunt him.



Lots more to come on this later.
