Let me get this right, the guy who had a major role in creating the economic meltdown, gave away $700 Billion Dollars to Wall Street, while taking hundreds of thousands of dollars in donations from those who he was suppose to be overseeing and regulating, accepted sweetheart mortage deals for himself, that Senator Dodd, he is now getting to the underlying issues of the crisis... Why are we even still listening to this man? He should be removed from any position of authority, tried for fraud, corruption and graft, found guilty and be sent to jail. He sure as Hell shouldn't be looking to get to the bottom of the crisis he's created! Send Chris Dodd to jail, not the Senate!
