Chris Dodd is gong after unfair lending practices....the same practices that allowed him unfair loans.

Obama wants to crack down on people that avoid taxes...but if he does that, who will be left in his administration?
It just goes to show that govt is mostly about "do as I say, not as I do" rhetoric. It's horrible that this goes on, and because of thier support/our ignorance, we allow it to continue.
Neither situation is comparable. Dodd had favorable mortgages from Banking Firms that lobbied him for legislation.
That's not the same as a predatory loan, do some research.
Timothy Geithner had a pretty harmless oversight in his tax return, and if you would again research the entire ordeal, you'll see how his less than common employment status muddied the waters a little bit regarding how he would prepare his taxes.
