The revelation that the $787 billion economic stimulus bill included language paving the way for AIG to award executive bonuses — which totaled $165 million and have caused an uproar in Washington and across the country — came to forefront of the debate on Wednesday.

And on Wednesday Sen. Chris Dodd (D-Conn.), chairman of the Senate Banking Committee, said his own executive compensation limitation language was substituted for looser language at the behest of Treasury officials.

“If you want to talk about what happened in the Senate, go to the Senate and talk to them,” she added.

And Pelosi continuously denied that she or any other House Democrat signed off on the provision, even though the House eventually voted to agree to the conference report on the stimulus bill.

“This was never brought to conference,” she said. “This never came to the House side, and you can talk to any of our conferees. It’s a matter of fact and record.”

Dodd needs to take ownership, we need to move on.

1. So you have been pushing Democrats blaming Democrats quite a bit

since you've been here?

Any particular reason this is the message you are pushing at this forum?

2. I don't know why you think it's ok for Dodd to shoot at the Obama administration

Everyone can see that he is trying to throw them under the bus.

3. Never brought to conference?? Well, that's a new spin on the story...

Or maybe it was just Snowe-Wyden that went to conference.

4. True to form. Congress proving Obama right. With their pointing fingers at each other

STFU already. You're all responsible and you know it. That's why you're all pointing fingers at each other.
