Senator Dodd In Trouble
30 Years Is Long Enough
CBS - Chris Dodd in Trouble in Reelection Effort
Politico - Cook Political Report’s dire forecast for Dodd
Biden Is Clueless
Politico - Biden joins an uphill fight
Calling Dodd ‘the single-most gifted legislator in Congress, now that Teddy Kennedy’s gone,’ Biden praised him for chairing two committees in a national crisis. Biden said the consequences would have been ‘dire’ had Dodd failed.
Hey Joe, the consequences for our economy are “dire” because of Senator Dodd’s choice to look the other way. The industry he was supposed to regulate gave and recived special favors from Senator Dodd.
Examples from CBS;
close connections to leading bankers…. One such connection is to former Bear Stearns director Edward Downe Jr., who once shared a condo with Dodd. After Downe’s conviction for insider trading, Dodd leaned on President Clinton to pardon Downe at the end of his presidency.
Countrywide gave him “VIP” treatment in refinancing his home.
his role in the payment of bonuses to executives at AIG, the troubled firm that received a massive federal bailout.
Those are just examples given by CBS. If his role in the Mortgage and Banking crisis was properly investigated the list would be long, very long.
Term Limits
No worries! The people of Connecticut will be judge and jury in November.
Term limits from the ballot box, it’s a beautiful thing.
