Perpetually honest Congressman, Barney Frank, is outraged by Obama's lies. ....Yes. That Barney Frank

Barney Frank is furious. The uber-liberal former Massachusetts Congressman is shocked, appalled, and outraged that Barack Obama would lie to the American people. Sadly, though, Frank says that - at least in terms of ObamaCare - this is exactly what the President has done.

Frank, who is always honest, explained the deeply insulting lies during an interview with the Huffington Post:

"The rollout was so bad, and I was appalled -- I don't understand how the president could have sat there and not been checking on that on a weekly basis," Frank told HuffPost during a July interview. "But frankly, he should never have said as much as he did, that if you like your current health care plan, you can keep it. That wasn't true. And you shouldn't lie to people. And they just lied to people. ...Any smart political adviser would have said, 'Don't lie to people, because you're gonna get caught up in it and it's gonna have this tsunami that you now have,'" Frank told HuffPost. "My political motto, very simple. I have always told the truth, and nothing but the truth. But I don't volunteer the whole truth in every situation."

Yes, Barney Frank is nothing if not a bastion of honesty, integrity, and moral turpitude. As the AP reported in 1989, during the 80's Frank hired a male prostitute from the back of a Washington D.C. gay newspaper. The escort's name was Steve Gobie. Frank later hired him as a full time personal assistant. Frank eventually admitted paying Gobie for sex, but swore up and down that he was unware that Gobie had been selling sex from Frank's Capitol Hill apartment. Frank claimed he "didn't know [Gobie] was expanding his business." The Congressman also used his influence to waive Gobie's parking tickets and tried to end Gobie's probation from a string of earlier offenses - including "production of obscene items involving a juvenile." Frank narrowly managed to avoid being removed from office. But the trainwreck of Frank's personal life was old news by the time he began lying about the housing bubble and the meltdown of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. From Judicial Watch:

Frank claims that he “missed” the warning signs with Fannie and Freddie because he was wearing “ideological blinders,” which was just his lame attempt to blame Republicans. But we all know he didn’t miss them. He just chose to ignore them. Judicial Watch uncovered documents last year proving that members of Congress, including — and perhaps especially — Barney Frank, were well aware that Fannie and Freddie were in deep trouble due to corruption and incompetence and yet they did nothing to stop it.

More importantly, Frank went out and - despite knowing of Fannie and Freddie's troubles - continued to maintain that everything was fine. Frank is certainly right that Obama lied through his teeth- repeatedly - about ObamaCare. However, the idea that Frank is lecturing anybody about honor is laughable in the extreme. If Frank was smart, he'd just continue his slow, sad, shuffle into the dustbin of history.
