The bonuses are LEGAL and LEGITIMATE. They are PRIVATE PROPERTY. Anyone in the government who claims the right to STOP the bonuses or CONFISCATE them IS A COMMUNIST!!!

And how do you know that? Have you seen the contracts? The owners of that money are the American people and we haven't even been told who got the money. We're told one minute it was retention bonuses and the next we find out it was given to people who aren't even working there any more. What were the terms of those bonuses, and were those terms lived up to? You don't know, neither do I, but as 80% owners of that company, we SHOULD be allowed to know that.

This issue is nothing more then noise to distract the publics attention away from other more dangerous moves this administration is taking.

While the press and our elected officials are falling all over themselves with the AIG issue, the Obama administration has:

Pissed away America’s sovereignty by signing a UN declaration that we will decriminalize homosexuality. We no longer control who makes the laws of our country the UN has been handed jurisdiction. Not only was his signing of this UN document unconstitutional the states once again are having their rights under the 10th amendment stripped. This time it’s not only to the feds, the states will now be beholden to the UN.

Removed policies that protected the rights of American’s whose ethical or religious beliefs prevented them from participating in anyway with an abortion. Those protections are now gone forcing pro-life citizens to either give up their careers or commit an act that millions consider murder. Another typical display of what “choice” means to a liberal.

The administration has stopped the program allowing pilots to carry guns in the cockpit. We’re being set up once again for an attack if terrorist groups choose to repeat 9-11. In fact, he’s made it easier for them. History shows terrorists repeat what has worked before.

To publicly and openly remove protections from a known plan of attack against U.S. citizens should be enough to impeach zer0. Even with non-stop AIG ramblings from the media, I’d venture a guess Al Quada didn’t miss that Obama just handing them, literally, the keys to the cockpit.

Bonuses paid out to AIG employees are less than .05 of 1% of the money they received yet that is all we are hearing about.

Obama may be worthless but he is not an idiot. He fully understands that the American public is nowhere near as leftist/progressive/communist/Marxist as he and that his policies and decisions would not be approved of by the vast majority of Americans.

AIG is nothing but noise to cover-up the bait n switch Obama is doing with our country, our freedoms and our safety.
