No, you must be mistaken. According to this inteview, nobody in Congress knew about this until about a week ago.

I believe Dodds inserted a provision into the Stim. bill to protect the exect’s bonuses. He now has no recollection of his own provision but....it is within the bill.
Rush just pointed out Congress has known for a year.
This outing of Hussein’s lies coming from the Ass Press????
I am, no kidding, literally STUNNED. I never thought I would read an ASS Press even remotely critical of their Messiah.
This could the beginning of Obama’s Watergate. What would you call it?
Lies for the purpose of distracting attention from all his other, daily, screw-ups.
The Snake and the Forehead must have discovered that demagoging the AIG bonuses issue polled well.
The teleprompter knew.
Bonus issue will end any recovery and may be the incident that will trigger the collapse of US financial system. AIG was propped up by feds to buy time to resolve the huge liabilities of the derivative market. A market that in 2005 Congressional hearing that Greenspan and SEC admit they do not understand. Experts estimate the liabilities to be 55 trillion minimum to 1.5 quadrillion. The only people who can navigate the US out of this financial time bomb is the experts in AIG. If Obama cannot stop the bonuses, the infuriated Congress will stop bailout of AIG thus leading to US collapse. On the otherhand if Congress punishes AIG thru taxes, the experts in AIG will walk, leaving the US with no experts to lead us out of the derivative mess thus triggering a financial crisis that can lead to a financial meltdown. No matter how we feel about the bonuses (majority anti, some pro) AIG/derivative mess is one of the most potent financial time bomb in the US economy and Congress inadvertently is playing with the fuse.
This journalist may have greatly jeopardized her carrier at AP because she wrote about the truth.
“What did the President know, and when did he know it?”
Didn’t Geitner WRITE THE BILL they are talking about? So he doesn’t know how to do his taxes on Turbo Tax and he didn’t write the bill he was heralded as needing a crook in the IRS office because he was the “genius” that wrote the bill he claims he didn’t know what was in.
You should ask the mod to put this in the breaking news section. It belongs there.
Excellent, the mods moved it to the breaking news section.
Neither Obama nor Geithner learned of the impending bonus payments until last week, senior administration officials told The Associated Press late Tuesday, speaking on condition of anonymity about internal discussions.
Next they'll say HUSSEIN is Christian!!
Obama’s telepromter has issued a full denial!
It’s really too bad for Barry’s utopian plans that this issue arose so quickly. Now people get a real good look at the thorny issues created by government ownership of industries.
"We know nothing. Nothing!"
lying pond scum.
that has a nice ring to it.
