An Oldie, But a Goodie



Scott Brown's U.S. Senate victory in Massachusetts on Tuesday has certainly gotten the attention of all Democrats. Barney Frank, long-time protector of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, suddenly said today that these entities should be abolished in their current form. More importantly, a growing number of Senate Democrats now oppose the renomination of Ben Bernanke as Fed Chairman. I thought this would be a good time to revisit a cartoon we published in the July 2009 issue of the Forbes Growth Investor. It was in response to what seemed to me as a very lukewarm endorsement at the time by President Obama.
