Is this the same obama that signed the stimulus package that HAD THE CLAUSE that guaranteed that the bonuses would be paid? You know, the same clause that Democrat Chris Dodd put in http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=b63_1237304298&c=1 . THE SAME BAIL OUT THAT GEITHER STRUCTURED FOR AIG? http://topics.nytimes.com/topics/reference/timestopics/people/g/timothy_f_geithner/index.html

I love it when politicians screw up and then scramble to point the finger at everyone else. What is even worse is that the political dolts like Barney Frank, Chris Dodd, and obama are feigning outrage in an effort to direct the peoples anger at AIG employees.

Folks, your anger should really be directed at the incompetent government politicians who…
A) installed the clause to allow these bonuses to be paid
B) did not read the bill BEFORE they signed it

Unbelievable incompetence is rampant on both sides of the aisle in this government.

No the unavoidable FACT is that you are a brainwashed moron and are repeating the idiocy that Drudge and Rush Limbaugh have been feeding you. Cough up some EVIDENCE that the administration insisted on a provison protecting bonuses. YOU telling us what you have been TOLD to believe isnt good enough.

Changing the subject to salary caps is cute, but it doesn’t change the above facts. What Dems need to do is change the subject completely and hope that by fall 2010, AIG bonuses are forgotten.

The problem, however, is that congressional Democrats are already running for their lives, and don’t see Obama as providing them with the kind of cover they expected. No more votes on blind faith. Gridlock returns.

were here to keep scumbags like you from getting what you want

This should explain present conditions with the Republicans.

MCCONNELL: “I really don’t want the government to take over these businesses and start telling them everything about what they can do.

Well, I do.

At least until we can fix the pile of crap your private weakly regulated businesses left us. You can have it back IF we are able to fix it.

Did you do your job? Did you make money? Your pay scale and bonuses are directly linked to the good job you did.

Economy in the tank, company failing, here’s a buck. Go see if you can panhandle enough for a cup at Starbucks.

With the federal government having a stake of about 80% in AIG, it hardly qualifies as “private corporation” anymore.

They don’t want to Congress to set rules? Fine. Then they shouldn’t take the bailout money.

Some people at good at having their own cake and eating it too. Or at least at trying…

When the White House put together the Stimulus Bill sent by President Obama it was posted on the White House website as he announced. Everything he has done since he took office has been posted. Each time the Bill passed the Congress, Senate, House of Reps. the White House posted the revised Bill. Everything this President does is posted on the White House website. Now Peter Orszag post daily reports and up dates as does Tim Geithner’s website. Hillary Clinton post her travels on her website with up dated information and you can text a question to her while she’s overseas. Where have you people been since January 20th? Even the Fed Chairman now has a website to post direction of the Feds activities. Now wonder Bush won no body knew what was going on in the Govement.
