Dodd Must Go

Today was certainly a rough day for President Barack Obama and his administration. First of all it was revealed that Special Envoy Richard Holbrooke served on the Board of Directors of AIG from 2001-2008 (but of course he knew nothing about executive bonuses).
It was also revealed that 13 corporations that received bail out money from Congress owe over 200 million dollars in back taxes.
If these two items weren't enough,the real blow came when one of the liberal icons in Congress (and a key architect of the $800billion dollar spending plan that was rammed down our throats) Christopher Dodd did an about face and admitted that he did indeed help craft a loophole in the bill that allowed AIG Corporate Executives to collect over $165 million in bonus money!
I've long been critical of Dodd's role in our economic meltdown as Chairman of the Senate Banking Committee but this latest revelation takes the cake! In my opinion it's time for him to step down....and hopefully the other three stooges of Congress.... Pelosi, Reid and Barney Frank will soon follow......and that's what shim sez.
