Get ready for Michael Ignatieff's made-in-Washington economic policy;
The Liberal leader will also meet Barney Frank, the powerful chairman of the House Representatives Financial Services Committee to discuss American efforts to combat the global recession and deal with the banking crisis.
"This shows how highly regarded Michael Ignatieff is to leading figures in the Obama administration," a Liberal insider said.
Barney Frank?
The same Barney Frank who said this[1] in response to Bush administration attempts to bring "the most significant regulatory overhaul in the housing finance industry since the savings and loan crisis"?
''These two entities -- Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac -- are not facing any kind of financial crisis,'' said Representative Barney Frank of Massachusetts, the ranking Democrat on the Financial Services Committee. ''The more people exaggerate these problems, the more pressure there is on these companies, the less we will see in terms of affordable housing.''
Wait, there's more! In a made-in-Washington twofer, Iggy will have his note-taking napkin at the ready for none other than born-again hawk, Richard Holbrooke;
Aggressive new policy? Well, give Cut-N-Run Richard his due - he learns from his mistakes.On Wednesday night, Ignatieff will have dinner with Holbrooke, who is spearheading Obama's aggressive new policy to defeat the Taliban and crackdown on insurgents using Pakistan as a safe haven.
Over at Liblogs, it's pin drop week.
Update - the acting CFO of Freddie Mac was found dead of an apparent suicide this morning.

Rush played Barney the "Banking Queen" on his show today and did a Barney impersonation ... it was hilarious.
Too bad it's such a not so funny situation with these kleptocrats.
Who are these "Liberal insiders" that they keep quoting? Why is the "Liberal insider" anonymous?
The Icky must be missing home. He has been away from Canada for too many years to be more than a 'Canadian of Convience'. Maybe he could land a job at ACORN.
Memo to Iggy:
Is O really Senator Joe McCarthy redux?
O'McCarthy quotes:
Obamaism is Americanism with its sleeves rolled up.
I have here in my hand a list of two hundred and five people that were known to Karl Rove/Dick Cheney as being members of the Bush Party.
This is the most unheard of thing I've ever heard of.
Some of the men and women I work with in Congress are socialists.

Mikey Puffin Iggy is quite the schmoozer. No surprise he's got friends in the US, it's been his home for decades. That some might even be operatives in and around the White House is also no surprise. It's Harvard connections don't you know.
He's having trouble setting policy for the party that wooed him and is about to formally crown him so he's probably seeking some talking points. Nothing like shooting the old Puffin poo loaded with smarmy Patriot love.
He's on a get even with PM Harper tour,seeking media attention, something the Lieberals, including the MSM, yakked on about.
He's on a roll. He cobbled up an all about me book, pledging his "True Patriot Love", now he has to let us all know he has friends in high places. So fitting but so juvenile.
"Get ready for Michael Ignatieff's made-in-Washington economic policy;"
Perhaps he will also introduce other DC Beltway kleptocrat policies like robbing the treasury to buy wall street and amalgamte banking corporatism with national socialism...or make the BOC into the new Fed Reserve and let it's private Ottawa-connected owners plunder the treasury and enslave future generations to the tax-back repayment scheme.
What is it with this new crop of Liberal left polis and their fascist economic scheming? If Iggster plans to do to Canada what Obama has done to the US, hes should be arrested for capital fraud.
Well, there's my happy thought for the day. I'm not a powerful liberal or highly ranked intellectual, but I won't be spending my time consulting with a blubblering shlub whose teenage boyfriend turned tricks out of his apartment. Seriously, how do you look the guy in the face without barfing?
I think the "Liberal insider" has got to be spin miester Don Martin. He had a section in the National Post the other day with all kinds of "insights" as to why the CPC was in decline and more "insights" as to why Iggy was so good at the "long game".
Robertson last nite on ctv national news
Tell us bob you have it on good authority,
the 2 of them could not hold back there Glee as to the Big Trip annoucement & had to throw in at the end as to not show any Bias.
*this is not unprecident as Reagan invited Mulroney when he was the opposition leader.
the next book title should be The making of a Prime Minister by the Canadian Media.
So I guess it is OK for a Liberal leader to cosy up with the Americans to plan for Canada's future, but if a conservative did this it would be panned by every news outlet. The hypocrisy of the Liberals and the MSM knows no bounds!
Been on Ann Coulters web site. Seen pics of Barney Frank, I don't want this mans hands in my pockets, but then again Barney might be looking North for a new BFF.
Has Iggy deserted/jilted his coalition with the Tamil Tiger murderers already?
Here is Iggy on his Separatist Coalition redux:
"Liberal Leader Michael Ignatieff also praised former Bloc MP Richard Marceau's efforts from several years earlier to support legislation originally proposed by NDP MP Judy Wasylycia-Leis to establish Holocaust Memorial Day."

So Iggy ventured all the way to Washington D.C. to meet some "smart" people did he? What's wrong Igmeister? Having some problems locating "smart" people here in Canada to help you along with your agenda? Actually, Igg, I don't blame you for that. We've seen your Liberal pool to choose from to form some sort of opposition. You are definitely in need of some assistance. Good Luck!
Update - the acting CFO of Freddie Mac was found dead of an apparent suicide this morning.
Those on the left side of things have been trying to calm the rest of us regarding Obama by reminding us that many of his appointees were associated with the Clinton adminstration. I wonder what Vince Foster's family will be thinking this morning.
Our Canadian MSM are the committed and dedicated publicity agency of the Liberal Party. Their agenda at the moment is to persuade Canadians to elect Ignatieff.
They are having problems with basic policy; well, the Liberals have always ignored policy and focused only on manipulation of public sentiment. So, the MSM-Liberal Party are focusing on public sentiment. Their agenda is: image.
So, they present the images of Ignatieff..and come up with a book of Ignatieff Cover Pages for each Voting Bloc. There's Ignatieff promoting the Quebec Nation. And there's a Cover Page of him talking about a Holocaust Museum. Oh, and one where he talks about the Oil Sands. And another where he meets with the Tamils. And, several cover pages of Ignatieff-as-Obama's Harvard Buddy.
The MSM-Liberals can't touch Harper with regard to policy; Harper is dealing efficiently with the economy; he's being viewed more and more on the foreign policy scene as an 'impressive leader'; he's seen by Canadians as a man of integrity and commitment.
So, since the Liberals not only can't touch Harper on policy and actions - and they don't have either - they go for image. The question to ask is: Are Canadians that easily manipulated? According to the Liberal view of Canadians as 'beer and popcorn' - the answer is: yes.
Chantel Hebert has seasonal disorder
Mr Harper, your coat
Is it time for Harper's walk in the snow?

Will the PM decide to leave politics before the next election?
You have nailed it 'ET'. Image, Image, Image. They have to present this because they do not have policy to compete with the Conservatives.
The really irritating thing is that when a conservative goes south to meet with Yank politicians the media portrays it as a bad thing and throws around the "poodle" and "American-style" insults at them. Journalists usually do so at the orders of their Liberal masters (aka: spouses.)
When the American resident, carpet-bagging Liberal leader does it it's proof he's ready to lead...
When the media dies, I'll drink at the wake. Cheers to their demise.

Frank and Holbrooke: typical liberals -- always wrong and never in doubt.
Why is the "Liberal insider" anonymous?
~Richard Evans at April 22, 2009 1:13 AM
Are you asking about the Liberals who used Mafia bagmen during Adscam?
I have no idea why any Liberal insider would want to be anonymous.
Seems to me that Fife's story has been misposted. It would appear more appropriate on the Entertainment pages; or perhaps the National Enquirer; where all stories are sourced by Unamed Insiders!
More intelligence for the IggyLiberal-Tamil Tiger murderous coalition.

"ignatieff to meet with Obama's Inner circle"
ctv.ca apr 22/2009
* note how Fife embelishes the article with "they are rolling out the Red Carpet"
* note how loyd says, bob is Ignatieff going to meet with Obama, Not this Time Loyd,
*note how loyd's response is Reagen met with mulroney when he was opp. leader.
Ok so What does the BoC interest Rate have to do with Ignatieff going to washington?
Bob Fife needs to put on his Amazing Karnack Hat when delivering his predictions as he Knows they are going to Roll Out the Red Carpet for Ignatieff.
And finaly the Comparisons "is Ignatieff going to meet with Obama?"
No Not this Time!
that should have been the end of it But Loyd has a hearing problem i guess, because he just had to say Reagan/Mulroney.
The real sad news is that Iggy Puffin Poo will probably come back north and proclaim that he has spoken to all powerfull Oz... err Barney (no, not the purple one) and now knows how to fix Canada's economic woes.
The question then becomes; "Iggy Poo believes in witches and fairies, but will the Canadian voter follow along?"
Ah So, you can always tell when the Democrats are in power. The parade of suicides.
,
Bad enough that Iggy does his schmoozing. It's the Lib game.
What irks me most is the MSM.
Lloyd wiggles in his seat, Fifer can't hold back his joy as he says Ignatief is making himself so well known in Washington..."but he isn't even prime minister yet".
Gag me...
Iggy and his gang have already purchased the software and program models that ACORN used to get Obama elected.
Be prepared!
For a supposed intellectual Ignatieff appears to be more than a little stupid.
Ratt ...
".....Ah So, you can always tell when the Democrats are in power. The parade of suicides."
YES you can.
Just wait till the Klinton election gang start dropping.
I continue to be amazed at the number of "convenient" suicides over the past few years.
The suicides have already begun. For the most part I have always found conspiracy theories to be entertaining; even the never ending parade 9/11 conspiracies. The Clinton "suicides of convience" is one conspriacy theory that is just about impossible to ignore, unless you're a left-winger. The fact that Obama is also now enjoying suicides of convience is startling, to say the least. I have to ask if anyone connected to the Bush administration, or any other US president for that matter, had so many suicides?
It would be good to know the motives behind this latest suicide -- or whatever.
I am recently back from NYC and stayed about a block from the World Trade Centre site. It remains a psychologically devastating thing (even now as the physical devastation fades into memory.) Increasingly I am convinced that there is more to this story than meets the eye.
"but he isn't even prime minister yet" Fife said that? One of the most onerous things about the MSM is that they do not really appreciate what jerks they are.
The print media and the Canadian TV networks can t figure out why their businesses are going in the tank.Maybe Canadians are wise to them and are tired of being brainwashed with left wing drivel and agendas.These guys have prostituted themselves to the lieberals for so long that they can no longer differentiate between news and their own view point.
The MSM, in this case represented by Fife and Robertson , no longer hide their bias. They think they have it down pat and their audience is too stupid to get what they are doing. Most of us stopped listening to them a long time ago and we don't watch them either, even with the TV muted!
As with the media in the US, the Canadian media hawk their partisan politics so offensively they have ensured their own demise. After all what good are they? We already know what is happening via other media and we don't need them to tell us what we already saw and heard. As for Icky he's down in Washington to make sure he gets the blueprints from ACORN on how to rig the next election so he can be PM. Then HE can take all OUR money like O did to the Americans. Trouble is while O was taking all the Yanks money he got about half of ours in the bargain. A Pox on their houses for this manufactured mess they have created.
