Posted by Dan Spencer
Tuesday, March 17th
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:

Well, I guess we should hold them to Barney Frank’s suggestion and demand they resign.

WOW Taxpayers forced to contribute to a political campaign of someone they do not even support via a taxpayer bailout system wrought with fraud and abuse.
I THINK WE CAN SAFELY SAY..... WE TOLD YOU SO.
America is now officially a DICTATORSHIP.
I guess we will all be locked in the gualg next for political dissent.

The third highest recipient was John McCain, according to FOXNEWS, butthey didn’t say how much. From what I’ve seen, AIG’s contributions were 2-1 Democrat. Morgan Stanley, CITI and a lot of other big finance companies were heavy contributers to Obama.

So now we know why the mortgage cheat Dodd slipped that language into the bill exempting bonuses from the bailout terms.

Is Schmucky Shoomer going to tax those on the list for taking bribes and kickbacks from AIG at 100% or demand they return the money?
