Sen. Chris Dodd, D-Connecticut: $103,100
President Barack Obama: $101,332
Sen. John McCain, R-Arizona: $59,499
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton: $35,965
Sen. Max Baucus, D-Montana: $24,750
Former presidential candidate Mitt Romney: $20,850
Vice President Joe Biden: $19,975
Rep. John Larson, D-Connecticut: $19,750
Sen. John Sununu, R-New Hampshire: $18,500
FormerpPresidential candidate Rudy Giuliani: $13,200
Both republicans and democrats on the list. Though there are certainly more dems. One thing they all have in common is that they are all LIBERALS!
Clearly, this is all Bush’s fault.
I want to know are the ones making the donations the same ones Obama and Dodd allowed to get bonuses?
I have heard a rumor, repeat RUMOR, that congressional retirement plans are insured by AIG.
Is there any way to verify this?
Somebody emailed that little tidbit in to one of Fox News morning shows on Monday. I’ve not been able to find anything to support that but am hoping somebody at Fox is trying to verify. I suppose I shouldn’t hold my breath tho.
