Obama added the bigger problem is the culture that allowed traders to claim them.

a little self-critique perhaps.

Yes, it is a culture, a culture of corruption, and his party feeds on it..

Yes, because they were “series” and “hugh”.

Stunned my sit down part. I’ll bet Chris Dodd is even more stunned. What a bunch of liars. I had thought I would watch just to see what BO was going to lie about. Guess I don’t have to stay up that late after all.

Obama shows his continuing ignorance of the bonuses: who they were to and what they were for.

AIG wooing Asia executives with 100% retention bonus
26 Nov 2008, 1217 hrs IST, Mahima Puri & Chaitali Chakravarty, ET Bureau

NEW DELHI: American International Group (AIG), which recently received a $150-billion bailout package from the US government, is offering retention
bonuses to a few senior executives in Asia, including key officials in India, said a person with knowledge of its plan. AIG has offered to pay such executives an extra year’s salary if they stay on with the company till November 2009.

Payments to these executives are likely to be made in 2010. “A few senior executives have been shortlisted across AIG’s offices in Asia for the payout, which includes senior executives in Hong Kong, Philippines, Singapore and India,” the person said.

A spokesman for AIG in India was non-committal on the issue. “Our employees are very important in our businesses. We do not comment on specific employee details,” he said.

Neither Obama nor Leno have much room to talk about exhorbitant salaries, benefits and bonuses.

Kudlow just mentioned this on his CNBC show. His take is that this statement reflects badly on Geithner and that The Messiah may be getting ready to toss him under the bus.

If they where in India and other countries, it makes me wonder if this 90% punitive taxation will even touch them.
