Harvard student vs. Barney Frank: who caused the economic meltdown? | Top of the Ticket | Los Angeles Times

“Recently, Massachusetts Rep. Barney Frank was giving a speech at Harvard University’s Kennedy School of Government when a student asked him how much responsibility, if any, the chairman of the House Financial Services Committee felt for the global economic meltdown.
Frank, perhaps defensive over charges that he fought Bush administration efforts to reign in Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae in 2001, dismissed the question as ‘a right-wing attack,’ and challenged the student to make clear what else a Democratic congressman from Massachusetts might have done to prevent the crisis.”
