CNN

I wish Sen. Dodd great success in all his endeavors. It is about time a politician succeeded whose interest is the good of all Americans and not just wealthy power-brokers.
If this becomes a trend, "politician" might even become a respectable title instead of a dirty word.

I mean, I supposedly have a job, but here I am posting on CNN instead of working. Uh oh, this makes me look supicious doesn't it?

I hope George w Bush's book doesn't sell. I wouldn't buy it.
He just wants to make extra money for him and laura in their retirement years. He is a despicable person. I hate him. Laura must be in a daydream. she doesn't realize the abuse and nastiness "W"
inflicted on the American people in his two terms as president.
___________________________________________________
And this has what to do with Chris Dodd? I'm sure Bush doesn't give two hoots in hell whether or not you hate him. Are you saying you could have done better? That's a good one!

pam said
i am a Dem and I think it is past time for Dodd, Pelosi,Reid and Franks to go. I want them replaced by Dems who are not so power hungry and are willing to work with our President. I think Pelosi is the worst!
---------------------–
Dont mind the replace with dems
how about they work for the intrests of our country and its people, not just there party or president.
it needs to be that way on both sides.
Its becoming the downfall of this country

5) Taking steps to restore the Constitution

I'm sure there are other reasons a non-conservative Republican (aka Neocon) would hate Obama, such as his unwillingness to violate Freedom of Speech and other Constitutional Rights…

---------

Do you have ANY clue as to the assault to the Constition that Obama is undertaking????

Obama's assault on the 1st , 2nd , and 10th amendments are already well under way.

And his new Supreme Court nominee has already shown that she will not abide by her duties and follow the Constituion.

WAKE UP AMERICA, before it is too late.

Good marketing Sen. Dodd.

"So-called "Conservatives" are more likely to have less education, lower-paying jobs, higher debt-to-income levels, and are more likely to be late or non-payers. Don't believe the hype, research the facts." Jeke

Hey Jeke I am a Conservative; I own a national firm; I earn high 6 figures; I own three homes; I have no debt; and I hold two masters degrees.

Gee Jeke, where did you get your degree – Mac Donalds Training School for French Fry Chefs?

Jeke is an illustration of the brainpower behind the liberal Democratic Oblamo change - change like this we do not need

@ Steve (the real one): Really, I am a conseravtive, have a Master's degree, a well paying job, AND paying off my last credit card bill in June! Toss a blanket on your bed and not in stupid statements! (blanket statements, just to make it clear)!.
_____________________________________________-
But Steve, you're the 5% of the Republican party that laughs at the other 95% of the party (the uneducated and the poor ones) for voting against their own economic interests. I don't blame you... I'm just saying.

Hey you guys, listen to this....

it is great for Credit Card reform, how many people scream when your interst is raise from 15% to 29%. Most bankruptcy happens when you cannot pay your high interest and they will always charge you late fees.
the next that can cause Bankruptcy is medical cost. Funny this is another thing that Obama wants reformed.

You know we put these people in office and yes we can get them out.

As for North Korea, they started to play around with nuclear energy long before Obama took the oath of office, now if this was Bush? We would be in another war and that would make 3 wars and we have no men to fight... Saddle up folk it is DRAFT TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It wasnt the regulations, it was the regulators!

Chriss Dodd will be elected again because the people of his state like him for the crook that he is.

Dodd is one of the biggest problems in DC. He was one of the top 3 recipients of campaign contributions from Fannie Mae and AIG when he held the Finance Oversight Chairmanship and when both those institutions were tanking and he was rolling in their dough. He fought against tougher audit of Fannie Mae and turned his back on the mess that is AIG. Even after AIG tanked, Dodd tried to get the execuitves to keep their multi million dollar bonuses. Dodd is in the back pocket of Wall Street. He is the poster child for bad politicians, CT could do much better than Dodd

AUSTIN,TX May 29th, 2009 12:25 pm ET

fed up…..I have an idea, why don't you leave America
----------------

typical.
A person you don't agree with and you say to leave. That's ignorant. We are Americans and we are entitled to our opinions and are guaranteed it by our Constitution.

Chris Dodd is one criminal that belongs behind bars.

If I was a Dem I wouldn't be too quick to align myself with Obama. By 2010 South Korea and Israel may be radioactive due to the President's inability to stand up to the North and Iran, we'll still be in Afghanistan losing American lives, and the "great" stimulus package would have tanked and the economy will be nose-diving back into oblivion. Yep, better to disassociate yourself from the President.

Dodd needs to be shown the door. On second thought, he needs tossed out of the door. He and Frank, Paulson, Geithner, Volcker, Greenspan, Bernanke, etc. are traitors to this country. They are ruining it along with the international bankers and military-industrial complex.

Hey Jefe, look at the market history. Currently it's only flat from the time Obama took office. Your "massive recovery" is only from the massive drop that occured in the first 45 days Obama held office. If you track the market from the time Obama was elected, it's still down double digits.

I won't even talk about all the trust Iran and North Korea have shown – and the trust shown by rest of the world's impotent response.

And at the same time, his bill has a special enforcement action that thrills the NRA. As a result of Dodd's bill, we can now carry concealed weapons into National Parks. A great way to respond to my friendly credit card company if they still try to abuse me. Go Dodd -- straight to jail for all your crooked deals.

fed up.....I have an idea, why don't you leave America

This guy needs to go, and we here in Michigan are a welfare state thanks to the DEMS.

The auto campanies have been broke for years.

over paid and under worked workers [UAW]

now the tax payers will foot the bill= SOCIALISM

I am a died in the wool (or sheeps clothing)conservative. I can not see where any of this Demobrat, Repugnant chatter is helpful in the over all sceme of things. Chris Dodd, Barney Frank, George Bush's cabinet ALL need to answer for their participation in the financial disaster that was created. The Demobrats took control of the House in 2006, they could've, had they stopped whinning, curtailed the devasting effect. The Repugnants, had their hands all over this as well with the open borders, allow free handed foreign investment(without regulation)anywhere.
I would not be suprised to find that we, The United States of America, have been paying Osama Bin Ladens motel bill right in the middle of downtown Kabul.
I heard a statement the other day that just flew all over me; "As a Democrat Majority they are charged with doing OBama's Bidding, just as, when a Republican Majority they were charged with doing Bush's Bidding".
DON'T they realize they are there to do "OUR BIDDING", we elect them, some for toooooo long. But they are "hired and fired" by us the U.S. electorate. I hope "WE THE PEOPLE" wise up and start sending more and more independants to OUR GOVERNMENT.

This guy should be in jail with his buddy who ran country wide. Why has this guy not been in front of congress about deals given to his buddies in congress or giving loans that would never be paid back. They both should be in prison together.

Funny how the Republicans are outraged at Dodds but place NO blame on the Commander in Chief/the President of the UNITED STATES at the time- GEORGE W BUSH. It's like the CEO of a company blaming an employee for the lack of success of his company. Dodd takes blame but nearly enough as the 'Man In Charge' Bush.

Good Job Dodd, now THATS getting things done for US!!!

Dodd is a liberal, crooked democrat...which means he should be a shoe-in for reelection.

Instant term limits. Vote out all incumbents until we get true representation.

Chris Dodd is going to get beaten so bad, it won't be funny. He better break out all his ammo, cause he's going to need it!!

I am a Dem and I think it is past time for Dodd, Pelosi,Reid and Franks to go. I want them replaced by Dems who are not so power hungry and are willing to work with our President. I think Pelosi is the worst!

Unbelievable , that anybody would even consider re-electing him.
He has been less than honest and certainly didn't abide by an ethical code during his public service.
Time to elect some decent men and women to work on behalf of and for the American people.

Dodd is criminally incompetent. A true idiot who has been living off the people of Connecticut for long enough. Good riddance.

Yet again...Photo op for Obama Bin Laden... Yep that's right, He has done alot of signing and speaking ..."about himself" meanwhile North Korea shot another missle.... Oh and he created another job.... for one of his lying,tax cheating racists friends!!!!

He is DESTROYING AMERICA!!!!!

Amazing how the GnOp-ers in Mi blame the Dems...when all of them Republicans were crying and shouting against "bailing the auto-industry". They all wanted to see it bankrupt.
Gary Peters (D-MI) is the best I've ever seen in my life! Period.

Senator Dodd is a major cause of our present economic downturn. The people of Connecticut will not forget that.

Ha!!! Here's to your political death, Mr. Dodd. May you be served with subpoenas in your near future. You can't polish a turd, sir.

Another of Obama's idiots

The General, I hate to break it to you, but Progressives are actually better payers of their credit cards. It doesn't take much searching to see that so-called "Blue States" have MUCH higher average credit scores than red states. It is also well-known that what you call "liberals" are actually the wealthier portion of the nation overall.

So-called "Conservatives" are more likely to have less education, lower-paying jobs, higher debt-to-income levels, and are more likely to be late or non-payers.

Don't believe the hype, research the facts.

Scott Stodden May 29th, 2009 11:32 am ET
I think Chris Dodd should run for re-election, he has I believe learned his lesson about the AIG crises. Chris Dodd has always as Senator fought for whats right for the American people. I dont know if he'll win but then again maybe no one important will run against him like Senator Harry Reid.
----------------
Let me get this right. Dodd screwed the tax payers several times over and his reward is another 6 years? He learned his lesson? The average person whould have been fireed a long time ago if he cost his company what Dodd has cost the American Tax payer! Your thought pattern is utterly ridiculous! Please tell me you are joking!

Hey, I just checked the market... GM is now a penny stock.

Congratulations UAW! You got your wish. You sure showed those "greedy execs," huh!

Like all parasites, eventually they leech their host dry and the host dies. 100% of nothing is still nothing, and you continued leeching until nothing is all that's left.

UAW, you broke it, you own it. Congrats. Now let's see how well your union supports your economically-illiterate a$$es in the bread lines.

Up next: Obama will mandate production of a new "people's car" (heil!) named the "O'bant," named after Obama's favorite Eastern European sports model, the Trabant. Oh, happy days are here again! Maybe we can get the Yugo back again, too!

Senator Dodd, your time is up; you are not an honest man. We need to clean up Congress and you need to go NOW!

Brian, why do you think Obama would be hated? Reasons I can think a Neoconservative Republican would hate Obama:

1) averting complete and total financial meltdown resulting in tens of millions of American deaths through starvation, disease, and rioting

2) Massive stock market rebound after it lost 50% of its value in the Bush years

3) Regaining of trust in the world

4) Taking successful action against Somali pirates at extremely low expense

5) Taking steps to restore the Constitution

I'm sure there are other reasons a non-conservative Republican (aka Neocon) would hate Obama, such as his unwillingness to violate Freedom of Speech and other Constitutional Rights...

You must not have wanted people to buy Obama's book, either, then.

----------------–
Sure you will! You live in Michigan, yet you'll vote in CA, NV, and CT? Who do you think you are ...an ACORN exec?

@ southerncousin -

You're exactly right. If you abide by the rules of your credit card, pay your bills on time, aren't a welfare leach....and generally a responsible person (a conservative, in other words)....then you're punished.

The act will force CC companies to return to annual fees for all card holders, raise rates across the board; they won't need fine print to do that Obama, and generally make it difficult for the honest worker who pays his bills to achieve, or want to achieve a responsible credit relation ship. The absconders of their debt, usually liberals, will continue to default on their debts because that's their upbringing; i.e., it's someone's fault they got into debt....

Please, give me a break. This clown needs to go. He's the architect of the Freedie/Fanny crash; both him and Obama received massive kickbacks off the back of taxpayers. When are you liberals going to wise up? Ditch this loser !

Gross, using SnObama in an add.... It will come back to haunt Dodd. 18 months is pleanty of time for SnObama to become hated.

"Hey, vote for me! I was instrumental in the collapse of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, so I deserve your support!"

Will anyone talk about how flawed the credit card bill is? How it once again penalizes those who pay their bill on time and follow the rules while bailing out those with no sense of personal responsibility. Kinda like Obama and Dodd did with GM, Chrysler, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Living in a country controlled by liberals is so difficult if you are honest and hard working.

he should speak about the mess he created.
Despite being a democrat, I want leaders like Pelosi and Dodd to retire. They are an embarrassment to this party.

"I want to give a special shout-out to Chris Dodd who has been a relentless fighter to get this done."

Yeah, the subprime housing market, the greater housing collapse, the implosion of consumer credit which lead to the overall collapse of the economy, the successful thwarting of investigations into Fannie and Freddie schenanigans... yeah, Chris Dodd was also a "relentless fighter" to get those done, too.

Dodd, I'm being as civil as possible when I say, "Start packing now so you won't be surprised later."

Restore investor confidence in markets... DON"T RE-ELECT ANYONE!
Incumbent Dump – 2010

535 empty chairs would be an improvement over the current Congress. Empty chairs do less damage.

Sorry, Dodd. Your candidacy for re-election is going to go over about as well as a turd in a punch bowl.

You should be thrown out of office – like your old man was. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

It's a farewell address, right?

We Nutmeggers rid ourselves of one worthless longtime incumbent, Chris Shays, during the last election cycle and will rid ourselves of the worthless Chris Dodd during the next one.

Good riddance to bad legislative baggage.
