A bit late for outrage, Senator Dodd

The Hartford Courant posted this, indicating Senator Dodd is losing his cool 

When I pick up the morning newspaper and I read the first headline that "Fault Lines Emerge and Industry Groups Blast Plan to Create Consumer Agency," what planet are you living on?'' Dodd said.

"The very people who created the damn mess are the ones now arguing that consumers ought not to be protected.  They're the people who paid this price.  And the idea that you're going to first attack the very clients and customers who depend on you every day is not the place to begin. I am somewhat upset when I see those kind of remarks."

Four words Chris; Too Little. Too Late.

Maybe back in the day when you were "the Banker's Candidate" you might have wanted to look out for consumers

Naw.

Remember when you hauled your buddies from Countrywide before your Committee to discuss how they were plundering working people with subprime lending...

Well, it was 2007, and you were running for President, and so you did pretty much....nothing

Senator Christopher J. Dodd, Democrat of Connecticut and the chairman of the banking committee, said he did not know if new legislation was necessary, saying regulators could addresses most excesses under existing laws.  http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9E01EEDE1530F930A15750C0A9619C8B63

 

Guess that was "defending Connecticut's middle class" NOT

Here's what Rutgers Professor Ross Baker said of Dodd's "leadership" during the financial crisis

Critics are seizing on that now, saying Dodd should have been paying more attention to red flags in the economy.

"He wasn't asleep at the switch," Baker said. "He wasn't even at the switch."

Chris, good luck pretending you didn't do your part to create the mess.  We're ready to put you on the curb first chance we get.
