Chris Dodd is an A-hole and seeing him standing next to Obama as Obama gives talks on the economy says a lot. too me it says Obama is just another Bush.

Why haven't Democrats pounced on Dodd as they did on Bush? Dodd was in the thick of this financial meltdown and yet he is still part of Obama's plans.
I just don't get it.

Dodd, Conrad got special treatment. Despite their denials, influential Senators were fully aware that their VIP unique loans were sweetened up by precisely the same banks that largely helped trigger the default and subprime loan crisis in the first place.

Franks was up to his ears in campaign money as was Wisconsin's own sack-o-crap, Gwen Moore. Let's review all of their books. Oh, that's right. Their all dems, so there won't be a single hearing until 2010 when the GOP is back in control. Let's hope this time we're more careful on building a team. No Rinos, weaklings or other middle of the road fake conservatives. It's time for the grownups to take over again.

So can we finally have the Senate and House hearings I've been asking for? Can we finally see the big guys who cause the banks to fail be arrested and have the press tipped off so they can film it? Oh, probably not. Dodd, Conrad and Frank are Democrats. I included Franks because he's on the committee but a moron. Dems control the House, Senate and White House. The money trail leads us to most of the key Democrat players. So no, there will be no hearings, this story will be buried ASAP. We'll have a report on Val Plame or some other scam cover story taking this off the front pages.
