BURBANK, Calif. President Barack Obama has told Jay Leno he was stunned when he learned of the bonuses that bailed-out insurance giant AIG was paying its employees.
Obama told "The Tonight Show" host the payments raise moral end ethical problems and the administration's going to do everything it can to get them back.
But Obama added the bigger problem is the culture that allowed traders to claim them. He says that's got to change if the economy is to recover.

Oh gee, I hope other Freepers can help. There was an absolutely hysterical post on FR a number of years ago, but I can't remember what it was in response to.
Maybe someone who is better than me with a computer can post the original response. You WILL laugh!
