1 Comment Senator Barack Obama received a $101,332 bonus from American International Group in the form of political contributions according to Opensecrets.org. The two biggest Congressional recipients of bonuses from the A.I.G. are - Senators Chris Dodd and Senator Barack Obama.
The A.I.G. Financial Products affiliate of A.I.G. gave out $136,928, the most of any AIG affiliate, in the 2008 cycle. I would note that A.I.G.’s financial products division is the unit that wrote trillions of dollars’ worth of credit-default swaps and “misjudged” the risk.
The Washington Post reports a “mob effect” at A.I.G financial products division:

This story won’t get one-tenth of 1% of the lame-stream media coverage that Sen. Chuck Grassley’s comment(s) have.
THAT’S gonna leave a mark.
ROFLMAO
Pass this along to Glenn Beck on fox news.
OpenSecrets is experiencing technical difficulties due to extreme traffic. Please try again. THAT’S WHAT I GET on the Obama page 110th.
Well I’ll be damned!
Keep tab's and you may see more than just 2 teleprompters in the future augmented by a bit more stuttering. ; )
AIG employees are afraid to go to work. Welcome to Stalinist Russia, freepers. The media and this administration are a direct threat to the people.
Poor independents are getting screwed!
They own us and the rights to our labor and that of our children. They’re trading us like baseball cards.
The series of events over the past two months brings back memories of “ridiculous” rumor floated around FR last summer/fall about a news anchor for some MSM network who got drunk at a party and accidentally blurted out that the MSM wanted Obama to be elected because he was so corrupt and so arrogant that their ratings would soar during coverage of his impeachment ...
I can’t find the FR post about it, but it sure sounds familiar. Funny how things turn out. I wonder if this is enough (for the libtards) to start calls for his impeachment?

Barack Obama became a US Senator in 2005.
From 2005 - 2008, he received $126,349 from Fannie & Freddie. In three years, Obama received 76% of what Dodd received in 19 years!
Ping.
Here’s why AIG got billions, and why Chris Dodd introduced the amendment to the porkulus bill “allowing” AIG to pay unlimited bonuses. Let me know if you hear any of this on the network news, ‘kay?
No, MORE FASCISM from those spreading “hope and change.”
Graft and corruption running wild in Congress. We sure got change. Now jail the puke.
I knew obama and his peeps are incompetent, but it’s starting to get too ridiculous.
Those G(&@$(*&%$^@%FVBPHH%^W@$$DSTD$S@%!$#!&(!ckers!
Thanks, that’s better.
Sen. Grassley will be calling for them to commit suicide in 3-2-1... Talk about recklessness and greed, throw in a little down home hypocrisy and chutzpah.
