Dodd taking the fall on the sword for his dear leader.

[Danae]

Yea, but is he going to retire?

[fooman]

In light of the campaign contributions, why is this not bribery.

[Born In America]

He should remove himself from the chairmanship of the banking committee and the people of Connecticut should recall him....if they can

[devane617]

I watched the interview where he admitted he lied yesterday. He was squirming like a worm.

[MAexile]

The wheels on the bus go thump diddy dump.

Thump diddy dump.

Thump diddy dump.

The wheels on the bus go thump diddy dump.

All over Chris Dodd.

[Wil H]

QUID PRO QUO!!

Impeach him!

[Hotdog]

Yes...he added the “loop hole” but Obama either can’t read or too lazy to read! Guess I can blame my bank if I sign something and not like what I signed after the fact...

[Big_Monkey]

What's even more interesting is what Obama just said on ABC nightly news...loosely quoted Barry said "We've got people feigning outrage about these bonuses (meaning GOPr's, but didn't want to do anything about executive compensation two or three years ago"

Barry was speaking extemporaneously, so we all know how poorly that can go. But, I hope someone, anyone asks him if this is a prelude to Congress implementing some kind of compensation guideline for PRIVATE US COMPANIES. That is what the implicit message was in his speech.

[svcw]

No way. does this mean he is going to commit suicide?

[originalbuckeye]

So, none of Zero’s faithful will implicate him in his lies and deceit? Zero is heading for a fall that he won’t be able to avoid. I can’t wait.

[Always Right]

Just imagine if this idea came from a Republican. It would have been the headline in every paper for the next month.

[Sub-Driver]

SO HE LIED?

[RoseofTexas]

IF only Bush would have had such loyalty!! RIGHT now I can't stand the RATS and the REPUBLICANS....I'VE HAD IT with the American folk. STUPID SHEEPLE! Watch ALL THE DAMN idiots fawn over the Black Antichrist showing with Leno and forget the AIG scandals and rest...HOW FREAKING disgusting that a sitting president can stoop so low! I;ve had it!!

[Right Wing Assault]

Yea, but is he going to retire?

Prediction: He won't retire. He will run again next time around and he will be re-elected by an even greater margin since he is such an honest guy.

[Bubba]

and... I do believe yesterday he said placing a date on the ctx was done by someone else and he did not know who.

What??? The waitress sandwich hero a LIAR? Surely not.

[eeevil conservative]

Nice of him to admit it AFTER it has been reported....

[llevrok]

and the people of Connecticut should recall him....if they can

Hooked on his pork. Will never happen.

[Wpin]

Well, if Dodd is truly responsible for the “loophole” that allowed them, it is probably the best thing he ever did for America. These are not performance bonus’ people, these AIG employees were given an incentive to stay longer with the company and help them out of this mess, as they completed their tasks within their division they were rewarded as agreed for doing the job well. The results of these efforts helped AIG reduce their liabilities by over a TRILLION DOLLARS!!!!! That is a hell of a wise investment. The little dictator is getting everyone on board with putting down the evil greedy capitalists...don’t jump on board, it is a slippery plank indeed that leads to shark infested waters
