Dodd is in serious trouble in 2010...if you believe the polls.

He is trailing a Republican Congressman...but he can still beat Larry Kudlow from CNBC if he were to win the Repub nomination!

I have a lot of change so far by Obama. I just hope he continues on that path. I am really upset about this AIG thing though. It's not like they didn't know this was going to happen. And as I posted earlier, this is only the beginning. There are ultimately a billion dollars in bonus payouts that are owed. You think this is bad? Just wait...

I think Bill Maher's idea was pretty good. Let's hang a few of these tools on the big board at the stock exchange with their balls in their mouth.

Dodd defeated in 2010 - Now there is some change we can cheer about.

I saw the same stats in a number of other pieces today. I don't think it'll happen, but I'll maintain hope.

It was pretty funny tonight watching CNN's interviews with Dodd back to back from the two days, day one, he had nothing to do with it. Day two, oh yea well I did have something to do with it after I clearly said I did not. I guess he forgot about it in that 24 hour period. Funny as hell.

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?

deja vu all over again.

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?

xoxoxoBruce · 03-22-2009, 12:29 PM

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?

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.

classicman · 03-21-2009, 07:08 PM

Who said he did?

xoxoxoBruce · 03-22-2009, 01:40 AM

Then why did you write it in post 234, after talking about Dodd? You sound like FOX news.

classicman · 03-22-2009, 03:35 PM

nevermind - move along.
