As a moderate swinging both ways, but obviously favoring the left in recent years, I would like to acknowledge - as has been posted by others on this thread - that the Dems have a lot to account for in their part in the current meltdown. The WSJ has had some excellent articles on Chris Dodd's participation in limiting oversight on Freddie May/Macs, and now the New York Times weighs in. Maybe we can all agree it's a good thing his presidential ambitions didn't go any further (ditto John Edwards - but let's let that shameless person RIP with his poor wife) All IMHO From the NYT: Senator Dodd’s Notion of Courtesy Published: October 20, 2008 After reports emerged in June about him having received favorable treatment on two home mortgages from the Countrywide Financial Corporation, Senator Christopher Dodd, a Democrat from Connecticut, promised that he would release documents to support his contention that he never benefited financially from the terms of the loans.
