RANDOM DECEMBER CLEANING

did i do this barney frank quote? worthy of a repeat:

"Obama's going to have to be more assertive than he's been. At a time of great crisis with mortgage foreclosures and autos, he says we only have one president at a time. I'm afraid that overstates the number of presidents we have. He's got to remedy that situation."
