Morons Leading

First of all, let me state my opinion.

Christopher Dodd is the worst kind of leader we could possibly have. What kind of chump takes a “sweetheart deal” from Countryside when he oversees that industry’s regulation (or lack thereof)? I know, I know, that’s the whole POINT of getting elected to Congress, to feed at the trough of graft. I get that. But, jeesh, Chris. Be a little more shamed, would you?

Now, he’s calling for the resignation of the head of GM as a condition of bailout.

Okay. Dodd and Obama say things like Obama did on TV today:

“The big three U.S. automakers have made repeated strategic mistakes,” Obama said. “They have not managed that industry the way they should have.” Any financial aid must be “conditioned on them making significant adjustments.”

Is he kidding? What business has he or Dodd ever run that he can make statements like that? Where did these geniuses, almost all of them in Congress there because they couldn’t make the kind of living they can get stealing from the taxpayers, relying on their business acumen or hard work in the private sector, get their business savvy?

What business do they have telling anybody anything? Wasn’t Dodd part of the oversight of the financial industry (hence, the kickbacks and sweetheart mortgages he got) that is melting down? Wasn’t he talking about how healthy it was when there were those ringing alarms about Fannie and Freddie, only to be beaten down and called idiots for their opinions that we were heading for disaster?

Christopher Dodd is a failed regulator, and should be given no oversight of anything more important than a mop, but I’m sure he’d screw that up as well.

Amazing.
