Dodd: Administration pushed for language protecting bonuses (Dodd Throws Obama under The Bus)
CNN ^ | 3-18-09 | Ed Hornick Kristi Keck

Posted on 03/18/2009 5:56:04 PM PDT by icwhatudo

Dodd acknowledged his role in the change after a Treasury Department official told CNN the administration pushed for the language.

Both Dodd and the official, who asked not to be named, said it was because administration officials were afraid the government would face numerous lawsuits without the new language.

---snip--

"I agreed reluctantly," Dodd said. "I was changing the amendment because others were insistent."

Is everything that comes out of Obama’s mouth a lie?

Only the words

Appearing on Leno in the middle of a crisis. How UNpresidential. Didn't anyone tell him the campaign is over? Talk about demeaning the office.

I believe Dodd is in a world of hurt. I think heads will fall in the next few days.

Dodd is demoRAT and Oboooombi has now announced that "the buck stops here". Therefore the liberal in-the-tank media will declare the issue to be over & done with, and now (again) we need to move onto the "important business at hand". Come on folks, Dodd & Oboooombi apologized, all is forgiven, nothing more to see here, case closed, let's move on!!! sarc/

And thus the liberal media covers for the socialist-fascist-commie pig usurper Oboooombi once again, and instead of being castigated & denounced for his lack of skill & judgement & gross incompetence, instead Obooooombi will be lauded & praised by the media for "accepting responsibility" and for moving on!!!

What lying POS b@$tards the demoRATs & Oboooombi & the media are!!!

"Is everything that comes out of Obama’s mouth a lie?

"Only the words"

Remember in one of Obama's campaign speeches he would quote someone famous and then say, "Words, just words"?

QUID PRO QUO! Put Dodd in jail. Gets the most campaign contributions from AIG of any politician, than changes the bill at the last minute to pay millions to his benefactors.

I just saved a bunch of money on my con-game by switching to Geithner's officials. 'Rat Crime Syndicate method-of-operation BUMP!

I’m finding it funny how Clinton and Obama, easily two of “the smartest people in the world,” can say they didn’t know something and everyone believes it.

Meanwhile Bush, “the dumbest guy ever,” was supposed to know every bit of minutiae (sp?) of everything that happened.

This is a GREAT set of statements..... absolutely true. I will spring this on my lib retard co-workers tomorrow!!!! Even the lib retards are starting to voice doubts now about Oboooombi, especially after 2 of them in particular were complaining about how their 401k's are now down 60%. I didn't say it, but I thought it....you voted for incompetence & a buffoon and that's what you got!!!

Checking the MSM today (needed lysol after the trip) even they aren’t spiking this story, it’s too big. Many are even reporting that Fannie and Freddie will be giving out bonuses.

I think what happened was a group of reporters seeing Obama’s falling numbers believed, initially, that the AIG story would draw public support to Obama and against AIG (evil corporations and profits type thing) instead it backfired on them, both Obama and AIG took hits.

Now, the story is too big and too out there for them to retreat. Until those in power figure out who will be the scapegoat in all of this, the media will give just enough information to satisfy the publics “needs” but not enough to hurt Obama more.

Once the scapegoat is decided I fully expect complete and utter destruction on that person by the media.

I know people who voted for zero simply because he is Black (half) and eloquent [when using a teleprompter(most of the time)]. They said that Bush was dumb and he was President, how much damage could 0bama do? I tried to reason with them but they were stubborn and ignorant. Now most of them won't admit the mess of doo-doo he has created. More's the pity.

If he had an objective and duty-minded media, that would be the next bombshell to burst.

The Leftist dominated journalism schools would not allow this to happen. Its all propaganda, all the time. The only real news is on the Internet (for now...)

The sad thing is how many Americans still believe that the "newspapers" and "the news" is there to protect and inform them. They have no idea how corrupt the system has become.
