Obama, Congress Knew About AIG Bonuses for Months

[Archangel]

Tuesday, March 17, 2009 8:33 PM


WASHINGTON — Cue the outrage. For months, the Obama administration and
members of Congress have known that insurance giant AIG was getting
ready to pay huge bonuses while living off government bailouts. It
wasn't until the money was flowing and news was trickling out to the
public that official Washington rose up in anger and vowed to yank the
money back.
Why the sudden furor, just weeks after Barack Obama's team paid out $30
billion in additional aid to the company? So far, the administration has
been unable to match its actions to Obama's tough rhetoric on executive
compensation. And Congress has been unable or unwilling to restrict
bonuses for bailout recipients, despite some lawmakers' repeated efforts
to do so.

You're completely new to the political process?

It's much easier to get the public in a mood to accept all sorts of
onerous regulation that they'd never agree to normally once you've
whipped up a frenzy and convinced them that they're facing imminent doom
or some particularly malevolent evil.

And when you hear the talking heads yammering about "populist
sentiment", that's just a shorthand for saying that the politicians are
trying to generate hatred and envy against "the rich."

Don't forget that Sen Dodd added a rider into the stimulus package
that authorized the bonuses for AIG, FANNIE, FREDDIE and then the
"messiah" signed it. Maybe that's why they wouldn't let ANYONE read it
before voting on it!

Now they feign anger at Capitalism, when they are the ones that
created the friggin mess!

You are undoubtably the product of the uberlib socialist DemonCrap
destroyed "pubic" edukation system!. You seem to lack the ability to
connect dots, identify patterns, or otherwise show an ounce of
intelligence beyond that of a common garden slug.

What Bush added to the National debt in the 6 years he was in office
with a Republican controlled Congress pales in comparison to what the
uberlib socialists have done in the last 2+ years on control of the
Congress. The Republicans spent money like sober DemonCraps... and now
we have a shit load of DemonCraps in a druken stupor, each trying to
outspend the other!!! What a fucking mess you socialist uberlib
followers of the "messiah" have created!

Well, actually, I don't like Dodd, or Pelosi, or Frank. Especially
Dodd. He and Frank only react, way too late, and usually its because
they screwed up by not planning well. I'd like to see them both voted
out. Along with Pelosi and Reed. And I vote Democratic.

Of course they knew about it.What they didn't expect was that it would
get leaked out to the public as fast as it did.AIG did nothing that
all the other company's that have recieved bailout money have done.In
fact our treasury department are the ones responcible for the wording
in the bill which allowd this to take place.To say they are going to
take them to court or attempt to sue them is useless banter.There's
nothing that can be done about it as it was all done legaly in
accordance to the laws.Just another one of the many things that Obama
and his shady admin have messed up.

Obama has received over 200K from AIG and Hillary received about 100K
so
is John McCain. I'm saying they all received money from AIG. They are
all part
of same team. Obama admin can't stop this... AIG took public money
and they
ran... There is nothing American public and citizen can stop this...
Remember
this is the best system the money can buy....They have been doing
this before...
So what is illegal about it now?
