Reagan was called "the Teflon president" or some such, because he spoke from his heart and to all our hearts. We knew what he stood for and supported it. The partisan media shills probably invented that term with disparaging intent; they will run interference and plant memes etc to bail out their Sock Puppet Messiah.

Anyone who thinks Dodd isn't going to be the fall guy for this hasn't been payin' attention, IMHO. To figure out what's going to happen, someone who knows CT and the Congress better than I do will have to lay out the scenario for when Dodd steps down or is removed or voted out. Thanks!

Tim Geithner admitted he asked Sen Chris Dodd (D-Conn) to protect AIG bonuses in the bailout bill. Geithner is in a finger-pointing match with Dodd "....we just expressed concern about a legal challenge," he told CNN. But Geithner was silent when Dodd insisted Treasury forced him to include the AIG exemption, and was silent when Obama's people told news outlets that Dodd's account (which Dodd changed from the previous day), was not true. Geithner also appeared to back away from Obamas' assertion that he first learned of the bonuses last week..... House Republicans moved to force Geithner to provide an accounting of all communications re AIG. Dodd said he remained confident in Geithner's performance. "I do, and the president does, and that's what's key," Dodd said.
