The Connecticut senator with a 50+ unfavorable rating, a sweetheart mortgage problem, and a challenger who is leading in the polls, probably didn't need this from the president. Washington Times reporter Christina Bellantoni reports, via her Twitter account:

Obama accidentally calls his one-time rival "Rep. Dodd" @ Rose Garden event. Dodd responds, "Things are tough enough!"
