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.

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

Sure. Sounds great!... How...

[Libloather]

How about the billions of taxpayer money that went to English, German, and French banks?

Have any idea what the initials AIG mean?

Dont fly on ANY planes Chris...

Or go to the park...

“Well, let’s see...higher tax rates, universal health care, more unionization and the Fed is creating trillions of dollars out of thin air. What could go wrong?”

Let’s not forget comprehensive immigration reform, aka amnesty for criminals.

By ressurrecting that sleeping giant that Japan’s attack on Pearl Harbor awoke in our parents and their generation.

We have their dna, their genes and the OUR smarts. And most of us have the will, now...finally.

We just need to REALIZE our abilities and act on that knowledge.

I would say yes. Everything that comes out of his mouth is a lie. I feel sorry for his daughters.

I don’t have any “lib” friends now. Not an accidental situation, btw.

Its like watching the movie deathrace 2000, only its dems like Obama, Pelosi, and Dodd driving buses and trying roll over each other.

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

As Geraldine would put it “the devil made me do it”...

[swheats]

Have hope there’s always a silver lining. It’s not as clear yet but it’s there.

[swheats]

“let’s hope the GOP get the most mileage out of this....”

If only we could harness Hanity a little bit. I love him but by the time he finishes the bone he has folks are feeling sorry for the democrats.

[swheats]

LOL

I just want to enter my thought, in that Dodd knew, and ignored doing the right thing.

I was watching Fwank on FOX, and I saw that Bawney knew he was lying
during the interrogation.

The American public are watching, and I pray with all that my knees can handle,
that Americans will put things right in 2010. "BUT" Caveat, If Obama gets a line item veto, we're really fubared.

[I_like_good_things_too]

I second your analysis.

[Earthdweller]

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

Make that a twofer...Dodd and Frank. If those two get it, I'll take my cotton candy home from the big shoe and dream sweet dreams for days.

[ding_dong_daddy_from_dumas]

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".

Fox covered the bonuses, but I didn't hear much about the US taxpayer bailout money AIG gave to foreign entities. CNN showed Obama's town hall meeting (all friendly questions) and cancelled Lou Dobbs today.

But I am enjoying the popcorn in the meantime.

[ding_dong_daddy_from_dumas]

In a 'right-side-up' world; for sure, some heads would roll. . .

Right now things seem to be developing in a very interesting way. Link: Even Elliot Spitzer wants to investigate AIG's counterpaties
