Sen. Chris Dodd (D-CT) News Conference on Legislative Agenda (November 6, 2008)


< Obama brings Change, not his cabinet | Green jobs, infrastructure and the economy >

Dodd's speech was so different from anything we ever hear from right-wing politicians.  There was not a hint of demagoguery, no dishonest shading of the facts, no ulterior motive.  He gave us only a clear, competent demonstration of his authoritative understanding of our problems an of his determination to solve them.  I do strongly disagree with some of his recent actions, particularly with his acquiescing to Paulson's proposals.  The billions handed over to the bankers is not being used to make loans, thus proving that trusting either Paulson or the bankers is not in our best interests.  But Dodd appears to understand the mistakes while justifying them with the need for haste, and there's certainly a good case for that.

And if you stand Dodd up against any Republican, you can see clearly the difference between a competent professional and an idiotic ideologue.
