Barney Frank: ‘Unfortunately, Under American System, You Have These Checks And Balances’

Liberal fascism, anyone?  Add Barney Frank to the list of Thomas Friedman and Ray LaHood who regret that in the United States, that darn Constitution gets in the way of the enlightened class imposing its will on the rest of us benighted peons.

Sparring with Mario Bartiromo on CNBC this afternoon, Dem congressman Frank, expressing frustration at his inability to get through legislation he favors, lamented: “unfortunately, under this American system of government, you have these checks and balances.”  Yeah, so unfortunate. If only Barney could be king for a day.  View the video after the jump.

Barney’s lament over our democractic system comes about 10:10 in to the embedded video.  If Frank was being facetious, it didn’t show.  I’ll be be back with a transcript, but in the meantime, watch some Barney Beijing envy.
