While Chris Dodd has raised over a million dollar towards his re-election campaign, hardly even of it has come from Connecticut, the state he represents. Now when he is 20 points behind in the polls, President Obama has weighed into the fray, from an interview with the Boston Globe.
“Chris is going through a rough patch,” Obama said. “He just has an extraordinary record of accomplishment, and I think the people in Connecticut will come to recognize that. … He always has his constituencies at heart, and he’s somebody I’m going to be relying on and working very closely with to shepherd through the types of regulatory reforms we need.”
This is one true case of backing a dead horse, and will in all likely hood drag the President’s numbers down as a result. Obama has failed to get involved with elections to this point, but no amount of support from the “Obama nation” will stem the tide against Dodd where the people know him and his transgressions best.
Rough patch? Nixon didn’t get caught doing this much wrong in such a short amount of time. From sweetheart mortage deals to the cottage deal in Ireland, which is more like a MANSION. Then you have the Potamic two step he did as he danced around questions about the AIG bonus provisions he put into the bill.
The most telling thing about that quote, and will be overlooked by most is about the regulatory regulations “we need”. That’s double speak for getting rid of reliable sources of energy for the sake of the far left’s green agenda. What does it mean for us, higher costs and less money to spend…..they just do not get it!
