Here is what Barney Frank told Jenny Woo last week before the election:
JENNY: Do the odds increase with an Obama administration?
CONGRESSMAN FRANK: Yes, that would be much better with more Democrats. Much more support. I also think with the Obama administration you wouldn’t see these bad regulations. But what the Bush people try to do is to get this one done very hastily and with little preparation so it’s in place when the Obama administration takes over. But clearly we have more support opposing (these attempts to stop regulation) with more Democrats in Congress. I wish it weren’t an issue but the Republicans have made it one.
