What a hoot! Ted Kennedy standing up for Chris Dodd, the brains behind the housing collapse along with Barney Frank. Now Ted and Chris are going to institute national health care? Or should we say Dodd is going to screw us all on health care as he did in the banking desaster. This just one of the legs of Obama's agenda to destroy America.
Remember it was Dodd and Frank that demanded that banks give loans to people that couldn't afford to pay the money back. Bush went to congress on 10 different occasions to have some over sight on Fannie and Freddie. The Democrats stone walled him. And don't forget who got the biggest political contributions from Fannie and Freddie - Oh no, it was Chris Dodd and Barack Obama. Who knew? Not a problem though, they're both Democrats so it's okay. We should expect Democrats to be crooks and con-men.
The other legs are Cap and Trade and Immigration Reform. Of course, along with National Heath Care, these three alone will cost the American tax payer more than 6 trillion in new taxes by 2015. I wonder who's going to pay the freight? Oh, wait, I forgot the 3 trillion in the budget and at least 2 trillion in new stimulus moneys and 1 trillion in bailout of the banks and unions.
Hey, who voted for this nightmare? Doesn't any Democrat care at all that this will destroy us all?
Keep the faith - this will be a long hard struggle.
Ted Kennedy Tapes Ad for Chris Dodd
Sen. Ted Kennedy has come to the aid of his embattled friend Sen. Christopher Dodd with a new TV ad highlighting the Connecticut Democrat's efforts on healthcare reform.
"Quality healthcare as a fundamental right for all Americans has been the cause of my life, and Chris Dodd has been my closest ally in this fight," Kennedy says in the 30-second ad.
"Today more than ever, we have a real opportunity to bring healthcare reform to Connecticut and all across America, and I believe that with Chris Dodd's leadership, our families will finally have accessible, affordable healthcare."
Kennedy has been battling brain cancer and for the most part remains home in Hyannis Port, Mass. Dodd has been managing healthcare reform in Kennedy's absence and working closely with his staff, the Boston Herald reported.
Dodd was first elected to the Senate in 1980 and has been re-elected four times, but he faces a tough fight in 2010.
Dodd has been criticized for his role in a bill protecting bonuses that executives at American International Group Inc. received after the insurance giant accepted federal bailout funds.
He has also caught heat over two mortgages he received from Countrywide Financial Corp. at alleged below-market rates. Dodd, chairman of the Senate Banking Committee, proposed a program in 2008 to assist subprime lenders like Countrywide, and initially refused to release documents relating to the mortgages.
The New Haven Register in his home state went so far as to called Dodd "a lying weasel."
A Quinnipiac University survey last month disclosed that Dodd trailed former Republican Congressman Rob Simmons, who has announced his candidacy for Dodd's seat, by a margin of 45 percentage points to 39 points.
