Dodd Regrets Sinking Bank Stocks with his Loose Talk

Now this guy is so clueless he didn't realize that when the head of the *Banking* Committee talks about nationalizing banks (and wiping out their equity) it could create a reaction in the stock market.

Dodd said his statement Friday "should have been better thought-out at the time. I didn’t realize it was going to have the reaction it did," according to Bloomberg News.

And just so everyone knows where he really stands on nationalization, he said: "I think banks run by private hands are far more desirable."

I think we should just let him quietly retire or maybe move him to another Committee that doesn't torpedo the 401Ks of millions of people.
