Reid dodges questions on Goldman $$$ - First Read - msnbc.com: "After criticizing Republican leaders yesterday for having a secret, closed-door meeting with Wall Street executives, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid today faced his own questions about a fundraiser he attended this year hosted by the president of Goldman Sachs.
Asked by reporters to confirm his attendance and how it played into the debate over financial regulatory reform, Reid didn't answer the question directly. Instead, he read from what appeared to be prepared remarks, touting his reform efforts.
'I'm leading the effort to rein in Wall Street,' he said at his weekly on-camera news conference. 'I'm going to make sure that in this legislation I do everything within my ability to make sure that banks aren't too big to fail.'
Asked later by NBC News to confirm the fundraiser, Reid spokesman Jim Manley readily did so -- adding that everything was done in accordance with campaign finance rules. It raised $37,000, Manley said."
