Obama's First 100 Days: Chris Dodd Should Resign

Senator Chris Dodd revealed yesterday he was the one who removed the language preventing things like the AIG bonuses from happening, and he should resign. These are the kind of politicians we don't need representing us. Dodd heads the Senate Banking Committee, a position too important for this career politician. While I may enjoy his comments and personality, this is about principle. President Obama talked about changing the way Washington works, and what Dodd did is exactly what's wrong with Congress. To be in Washington for 34 years and to make this blunder is unforgivable. I've had it with the incompetence. Dodd will be lucky to win re-election in Connecticut in 2010.

The President needs the best people to solve the problems we face as a nation. By and large I think he's done well, but Pelosi, Reid, Frank, etc. are making things hard. This is the reason Sen. Evan Bayh has formed a group of moderate Democrats to work with the President on the major issues. I will not blame President Obama, even though Dodd is insisting 'someone' in the Treasury Department 'made him' take it out. He's a Senator! Get a backbone! We'll see how this goes, but these people better get it together, or they'll all be voted out.

Regarding the bonuses, this is a case of too little, too late. Congress had its chance, and blew it. And once again, the taxpayers will have to eat it. Sorry, folks.
