In Dodd We Trust

The New York Post is reporting that President Obama will extend a helping hand to Connecticut Senator Chris Dodd.

"I will be helping Chris Dodd because he deserves the help," Obama told the Boston Globe in a phone call from Air Force One on Thursday. "Chris is going through a rough patch."

One more reminder that Obama learned his politics in Chicago - first he steps up Chris Dodd to take the political fall for his own administration's policy - then he magnanimously offers to help him up again!
