President Obama will be "re-elected overwhelmingly," Sen. Chris Dodd (D-Conn.) confidently predicted today.
Appeaing on Imus in the Morning, Dodd rejected a comparison between Obama and Jimmy Carter and said Obama will be more politically successful.
"No, no, no. You're wrong on that," Dodd told Imus of the Carter comparison. "That's a mark we'll put it down. This man will be reelected and reelected overwhelmingly."
Meanwhile, speaking of his own decision not to run for re-election, Dodd said he would not run even if he was 100% sure he would win.
Dodd recounted making the decision as he visited Ted Kennedy's grave in Arlington National Cemetery:
There wasn't a cloud in the sky. There was a new snow up there. There wasn't a person around and went to his grave. I looked back over that city and began to ask myself the basic question, why are you running again and do you want to serve for seven more years? And if you'd given me the seat, eliminated all the opposition, said look, it's you can be the senator, no questions asked for the next seven years, the answer is no.
Thirty years is plenty of time. I've enjoyed it immensely. Someone once asked John McCormick, the great Irish tenor, why he was quitting.
He quit right at the height of his singing career. And his answer was, I'd rather ask them why am I quitting than why haven't I quit.
Anyway, so, I don't want to hang around and reach a point where you're just there marking time and going robotically through the process to be there. Thirty-six years in the Congress is a long time. I've enjoyed it. I love the people I served with, and it's time to move on and do something else.
Right - and I am the Easter Bunny.
lol
Dodd is as corrupt as his father was.. maybe more corrupt..
He belongs in a nuthouse.The guy is a nut.
Remain calm. All is well!!!
And that would be the real reason he isn't seeking re-election.
You got that right. He ‘enjoyed’ immensely....yeah raping the treasury and the American people is such good fun.
Ground control to Chris Dodd, please come back to earth...
Gee whiz, I was genuinely and deeply concerned that Obama might not be able to fulfill a second term,...
Bwwwwaahahahahahaha!
Of course, he didn’t say it’d be on the up-and-up. If AmeriCorps, ACORN, Civilian National Defense Force, Obama Militia, the Union Thugs, Black Panthers, etc. are allowed to browbeat voters, register dead people and nursing home patients and all that he may well win.
no one is going to care what chris dodd said in 3 years, because is 2012 chris dodd will be a nobody.
Whoa!!! I don’t know what they are passing around in the Dem Senate cloakroom, but it must be some heavy stuff.
This man will be reelected and reelected overwhelmingly.” ........................................... Boy and do I believe it too. If the RNC puts another RINO up, 2/3rds of the voters will stay home. They will take a shellacking for sure. Why should the RNC listen to the voters, they, the DC insiders, know what is best for the RNC. Gaaaagle Baaarffff , Puuuuuke.
And not to forget Acorn is still breathing!
PUKE!
6 million taxpaying jobs and counting filters down to alot of under the table workers. Might be a bit of a stretch. They are screwed.
Sharing a cell with Bwarney Frank!! If BO keeps up his crazy leftist agenda he may not finish his first term!! I don’t think the Dems understand how angry the public is......
