Then you missed the third interview where he said he was directed to do so by "the administration." Follow that up with the Geithner interview in which all he did was admit that unnamed "Staffers" had conversation regarding the verbage with Dodd's congressional "Staffers."
What load of crap. They both passed the buck onto no named staffers.
Where is the transparency & more importantly, accountability?

When did Dodd promise transparency and/or accountability?

As you can clearly see, I was talking about Geithner, Dodd AND the administration. All of them. You read what you want into it.

Or is it that the congress and senate don't need to have that same transparency and accountability?

How much control over the actions of Congress as a a whole, or individuals in it, do you think the President has? Any answer larger than zero is a fail.

I don't get it.

Why is Obama responsible for anyone in congress?

Did we suddenly change to a monarchy, or something?

Because classicman has a left-right dichotomy that means he must constantly post Rush Limbaugh style attacks on those who question the extremists Republican mantra.

Whether Dodd or Geithner or Paulson or Thain or Greenspan or whoever needs blame is irrelevant. The Cellar has been poisoned by constant attacks on Obama and others who are desperately trying to fix an economy that was undermined by that political agenda during the last decade.

Little here is about AIG, economics, or what might work and what makes things worse. A political extremist agenda is constantly attacking the Obama administration to avoid the politics that really created this mess.

You would think Geithner and Dodd created all problems due to classicman's constant Rush Limbaugh partisan attacks. So partisan that this independent is too busy challenging the lies rather than discuss the problem. Nothing from classicman offers a solution to or understanding of this AIG mess. That would require admitting to a political agenda that created this mess. To avoid that reality, political extremists must attack and destroy - not grasp, enlighten, and construct.

A left-right dichotomy accurately described most every classicman post because this problem is directly traceable to a his beloved political agenda that eliminated responsible accounting and corporate behavior. So attached is he to extremism that criticism of his left-right dichotomy is taken as a personal attack.

I did miss that. But hey when you have guys appointed to the job who were previous insiders it is like the fox watching the hen house. I was impressed by the 60 Minutes interview.
