Obama calls to congratulate Blumenthal

Hartford (AP) – President Barack Obama has called Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal to congratulate him on his candidacy for the U.S. Senate.
The White House says Obama called Blumenthal on Wednesday evening and offered to help him with the campaign to succeed Sen. Chris Dodd’s seat.
Blumenthal announced his plans to run for the Senate shortly after Dodd formally announced that he will not be seeking a sixth term.
Dodd has been lagging in the polls for months and says he came to realize it was time to step aside and let someone else take over the seat.
Obama spoke by phone with Dodd on Wednesday morning. The White House says the president told the outgoing senator he was honored to work with him and would do whatever he could to help Dodd moving forward.

A part of the Schagticoke Indian Nation.
Two related American Indian Tribes of Connecticut.
It was the first time in American history that Federal recognition of an American Indian Tribe was overturned.
I wonder if that will be chissiled on his tombstone when all is said an done.
If he did it to us without mercy and fairness to unite the two tribes.
What is he going to do for the rest of Connecticut.
Let them rot and try to forget them too and as long as he says he dosn`t take anyone for granted you will belive him.
Mabe he will make way for more illegals to come into Connecticut and call the Natives names,(I have been called them).and drain the funds to teach them English and find them jobs and if they can`t ,just pay their way for everything they need that their motherlands wont give them.
We are not on our feet to stand strong to be able to help.
Dodd has us so far in the red we may never recover.
I am not voteing for Blumenthal.
Democrats are full of false promises and pacifyers up their sleeves to stick in your mouth when you complain.
The folk that vote are full of hope that all the promises will be fullfilled,nothing ever changes,same ol`e same ole.
It`s not like Blumenthal had an epifiany and has to rush off to washington,Dodd is a quitter, he quit everything by going from one lie to another and has run out of lies.so he runs now and that is the only reason Blumenthal is running.Nothing new.Like musical chairs,political chairs.

As much as I like the guy and his record as AG, he's shown in the past that he is a Democratic Party "Yes-man". Obama wants him to win so he'll have another mindless rubber-stamp Senator in his pocket like he had with Dodd.
That alone is reason enough to vote for ANY one else running against him.
You wouldn't vote for him anyway, so...
"I am suspect because Obama has too much interest in CT all of a sudden."
Just as I was suspect every time Bush visited the state...
"Haven't we had enough of this little click that doesn't pay attention to voters?"
Let me refresh your memory. When asked a few months ago whether or not he cared about public opinion of the war in Iraq Dick Cheney said "No". And you voted for him and bush twice. So, when you say that that you have had enough of Obama not caring about the voters, you re showing that you possess a double standard.
"I'd much rather someone who actually understood American law for the position, Blumenthal is a disciple of Karl Marx."
Do you have a J.D.? And do you actually know what Marxism is? Its not socialism or communism as we know it.
"Now she is truly for the people"
Yes, a multimillionaire who truly understands how the little people like you live? Just like Bush, right?
"Great, just what we need... Lord Obama has crowned the AG as the heir apparent."
I don't know, GWB and Lieberman were up each oters A$$es... even so far as kissing on the floor of the senate. OMG! they might be gay!!!
I am going to vote for Linda - Rob Simmons is to me an inscumbent - he's looking to go back to Washington and it's time to clean the state and federal government.
I do like my mayor - that is the only incumbant I will vote for! (I am a Derbyite, so don't think that I like you DeStupido)
Todd is anti-gay. He loves bush. Boy, you could've fooled me you he-man!
I don't think any Democrat should be elected to anything until they can show they can put our national interests ahead of party loyalty. Blumenthal has not done that.
Linda has my vote!
