In a dramatic reversal Wednesday, Sen. Chris Dodd, D-Conn., confessed to adding language to a spending cap in the stimulus bill last month that specifically excluded executive bonuses included in contracts signed before the bill’s passage.

Dodd told FOX News that Treasury officials forced him to make the change.

“As many know, the administration was, among others, not happy with the language. They wanted some modifications to it,” he said. “They came to us, our staff, and asked for changes, and the changes at the time did not seem that obnoxious or onerous.”

"Dodd told FOX News that Treasury officials forced him to make the change.

My question is how much more did Obama and Dodd get for sneking this into the Stimulus Bill?

I can't believe it was only for 100K each. Glenn Beck showed that AIG paid out billions to firms like Goldman Sachs and many others. How do we find out how much each of those firms gave to Obama and Dodd?
