The top member of the Senate Banking Committee is demanding a meeting with top Bush administration officials and the Federal Reserve over potential delays to implement the foreclosure prevention program passed by the Senate Saturday. Dodd Sen. Christopher Dodd (D., Conn.) said he wants to meet Tuesday morning with the Federal Reserve, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, Treasury [...] ... Source: www.slate.com --- 39 days ago
On the surface, Chris Dodd is the perfect vice presidential candidate for Barack Obama. He’s Catholic, while Obama has struggled to win over Catholics. He speaks fluent Spanish, which could help among Latinos. He’s a veteran, just like you-know-who. Jews love him—his father was on the prosecution team at Nuremberg. He sits on the Senate foreign relations committee, which could quiet critics who see Obama as green on foreign policy. His biggest legislative accomplishment, the Family and Medical Leave Act , dovetails nicely with Obama’s health care plans. The man is experience incarnate. It’s too bad he probably won’t be picked. Remember Jim Johnson, the guy in charge of Obama’s VP search committee? Johnson resigned last month under fire for receiving reduced-rate loans from Countrywide, a company criticized for its role in the mortgage crisis. It turns out Dodd was also part of the same “V.I.P.” program, which cuts rates and eliminates fees for special customers. In 2003, Dodd received two loans through Countrywide, saving a little under $3,000 thanks to the program, according to Portfolio . Countrywide has contributed $21,000 to Dodd’s campaigns since 1997. Obama set a precedent by scrapping Johnson. (Johnson says he resigned of his own free will.) How can he possibly pick Dodd? If sweetheart loans are enough to disqualify the person appointed to pick the VP, what does it mean for the VP himself? To be sure, Dodd is not Johnson. ... Source: findarticles.com --- 15 days ago

Kevin Duffiny submits: Senator Christopher Dodd (D-CT) has his hands full, and his decisions in August will probably have a wide impact on the trifecta of housing, banking and commodity speculation. This trifecta, if you look at it from a macro view, is the most powerful force affecting the economy. Housing woes have impacted the bottom lines of investment banks and lenders, and this brings down the stock markets, which is pushing speculative cash into commodities and pushing up energy futures. None of these can be solved as a stand-alone proposition, and Dodd sits at the nerve center of the policy making apparatus, as the Chairman of the U.S. Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs. His committee can help ease the situation in all three sectors by legislating financial aid to distressed homeowners, lenders and and providing guidance for regulatory oversight to the Fed, Treasury and SEC. Question is, Sen. Dodd doing enough, and is he going in the right direction? And to top it off, his legislation is now tainted by accusations of bias towards certain lenders. Complete Story » ...
