(NECN: Dartmouth, Mass.) - Representative Barney Frank, who chairs the House Financial Services Committee was the guest speaker at the Dartmouth Democratic Town Committee meeting Tuesday night. Frank was invited to speak about issues that are before the Congress right now in Washington. One of the things he wanted to focus on was the banking industry, and the country's financial mess, but what he got was a lot of attention on health care. More than 500 people showed up at the meeting, with some booing and shouting at Frank. Some of those who attended the meeting came with pictures of President Obama with a mustache, drawn to look to like Adolf Hitler. Frank was asked why he continues to support a "Nazi policy". "When you ask me that question, I am going to revert to my ethnic heritage, and answer your question with a question," said Congressman Frank. "On what planet do you spend most of your time?"
