Dems Flee Countrywide Vote - video

Cowards.

Chris Dodd: I lied - video

But Obama made me do it.

The buck stops with Obama

He owns it.

Will Obama give back AIG money?

He should.

"Senator Barack Obama received a $101,332 bonus from American International Group in the form of political contributions according to Opensecrets.org. The two biggest Congressional recipients of bonuses from the A.I.G. are - Senators Chris Dodd and Senator Barack Obama. "

And they're outraged. Un huh.

Democrat Chris Dodd under ivestigation

Barney Frank should be investigated too.

NYT dips its toe in Democrat Dodd's scandal

Too little, too late.

"After reports emerged in June about him having received favorable treatment on two home mortgages from the Countrywide Financial Corporation, Senator Christopher Dodd, a Democrat from Connecticut, promised that he would release documents to support his contention that he never benefited financially from the terms of the loans.

The senator has failed to keep his promise, and his excuses are wearing ridiculously thin.

“I think it will become obvious at the time when it’s the right time, and I’ll explain that at the time when I do so,” Mr. Dodd said last week after a speech in Norwich, Conn., according to The Hartford Courant.

When asked to elaborate, he said: “My answer is what it is, and in the right time, it will be there.”

Yeah, like after the election eh?

Democratic Senator Dodd's mortgages scandal

won't go away. Another Democrat scandal that the media are ignoring.

Democrat Dodd is lying over Countrywide

And this guy says he can prove it.

"Former Countrywide Financial loan officer Robert Feinberg says Mr. Dodd knowingly saved thousands of dollars on his refinancing of two properties in 2003 as part of a special program the California mortgage company had for the influential. He also says he has internal company documents that prove Mr. Dodd knew he was getting preferential treatment as a friend of Angelo Mozilo, Countrywide's then-CEO.

That a "Friends of Angelo" program existed is not in dispute. It was crucial to the boom that Countrywide enjoyed before its fortunes turned. While most of the company was aggressively lending to risky borrowers and off-loading those mortgages in bulk to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, Mr. Feinberg's department was charged with making sure those who could influence Fannie and Freddie's appetite for risk were sufficiently buttered up. As a Banking Committee bigshot, Mr. Dodd was perfectly placed to be buttered."

Democrat fingerprints are all over the financial crisis

Coming from the UK's far left newspaper, The Independent, that's saying something.

"What is the proximate cause of the collapse of confidence in the world's banks? Millions of improvident loans to American housebuyers. Which organisations were on their own responsible for guaranteeing half of this $12 trillion market? Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, the so-called Government Sponsored Enterprises which last month were formally nationalised to prevent their immediate and catastrophic collapse. Now, who do you think were among the leading figures blocking all the earlier attempts by President Bush – and other Republicans – to bring these lending behemoths under greater regulatory control? Step forward, Barney Frank (D) and Chris Dodd (D)."

Rein In Fannie, Freddie? Not Dodd

The Democrats are to blame for the current financial scandal and Obama is up to his eyeballs in it. McCain should be hammering Obama on this.

"As recently as last summer, when housing prices had clearly peaked and the mortgage market had started to seize up, Dodd called on Bush to "immediately reconsider his ill-advised" reform proposals. Rep. Barney Frank, D-Mass., chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, said that the president's suggestion for a strong, independent regulator of Fannie and Freddie was "inane."

Sen. Dodd wonders what the Bush administration did to address the risks of Fannie and Freddie. Now, he knows. The real question is: Where was he?"

Dodd and Countrygate heating up - video

The public are not buying Dodd's b.s.

And it seems like some of the callers are right, Dodd is the stupid one.
