Senate Banking committee Chairman Christopher Dodd told CNN’s Dana Bash and Wolf Blitzer Wednesday that he was responsible for adding the bonus loophole into the stimulus package that permitted AIG and other companies that received bailout funds to pay bonuses.

Nah, probably not in either of our scenarios. But a girl can dream.
Oh does no one else read the bills they vote on? The responsibility lies with them all.
New tagline...
Yes, yes I can. Often its about having enough money to afford a Maid......... (sigh)
LOL.
Indeed. Why hasn’t this man been strung up already for his pattern of gross mismanagement throughout this whole affair? (D) - oh, that’s why.
It smells like *hit all over this rat. First he lies, then he says the admin took part, now it’s all him!?
No one there to pull your strings at the beginning, Dodd?
He has nothing to worry about. CNN stuck his name on the screen they left out DEMOCRAT. Americans are so stupid they’ll think he’s a Republican.
That's it. No confusion.
WATERBURY, Conn. - From a garage near an abandoned factory in the south end of town - the sound of squawking in the night. It's an odd noise.... But police in Waterbury knew exactly what they were dealing with. It was another cockfight.(Excerpt) Read more at boston.com ...
============================
Rahm Emanuel instructed Obama to send a memo to Barney Frank: "Stay home, Barney. This is not what you think it is."
Too late......Barney had already left a message for Chris Dodd saying that he could not wait to see Dodd's (cough) package.
Our financial system has collapsed when the Fed is printing a trillion dollars to buy treasury bonds and mortgage backed securites.
I don’t dispute Dem deregulation opened this whole can of worms but that deregulation was heavily supported ($$$) by Wall Street. AIG was one of the main enablers in this whole fiasco along with the mostly dim politicians they bribed.
Without AIG and their ilk writing that CDS paper these banks would not have been able to sell their nicely repackaged crud liar loans in such large amounts. It’s great that these altruistic employees wiped that trillion dollars in liabilities off the AIG books. Too bad a similar amount and more has been transferred over to our books due to the negligence of their company.
So, you don’t think that regulations calling for making loans to individuals who beforehand did not qualify for those loans had anything to do with the mess? And, you blame the banks for wrapping those loans (they were forced to make) up in huge packages, mixed in with good loans of course in efforts to spread the risk as something evil with the banks?
What governmental group can you name that in the past year removed a TRILLION DOLLARS of liabilities?
Personally, I think those people who helped do that deserve twice the bonus they got.
The reason we are going to lose our freedom in this nation is because good people simply do not understand what has happened, what is going on, and how it relates to freedom.
“Zero is heading for a fall that he won’t be able to avoid.”
I hope so but I don’t think the MSM will let him fall.

A reporter got close enough to Zero yesterday to ask if he was going to return his $101,000 AIG bonus. He did not answer. Maybe there is hope for the LSM.

Great! I hadn’t heard that.
Hopefully that reported will connect the Dots and ask if Obama is going to give back the donations he got from all thos Firms AIG gave billions to with the 180 Billion given to them by the Treasury.
Don’t believe this BS.
Obama profited from this which is why it is in there. he was taking care of his cronies who contributed to him

I bet that Dodd was TOLD to put it in there. yep he is falling on the sword, but not because he wants to.
Obama is racking up political enimies by the numbers now.
Another willing martyr for the chosen one, the glorious messiah.
