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:

I assume this already airing on CNN?
Well, I guess we should hold them to Barney Frank’s suggestion and demand they resign.
“I assume this already airing on CNN?”
Coming up right after their story about how Barney Frank is tied to the credit crisis. Got my DVR set...
This should be on a RNC ad NOW.
Can’t be true CNN isn’t reporting it.
FYI
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.
No, the State Run Media will not mention this.
I suggest he use it for some skiing lessons.
btt
I just know in my heart of hearts that Obama will demand that he be taxed on this money 1000%. </sarcasm>

Deus misereatur.
Seems like this might warrant Breaking ...
BTTT
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.
More pay for play.
So now we know why the mortgage cheat Dodd slipped that language into the bill exempting bonuses from the bailout terms.
