It was not 165 Million ... More circuses and bread for the masses. We are being played.

Ooh, AIG gave their employees bonuses, something they were contractually obligated to do.
Don’t care.

According to the article, all the bonuses were awarded before financial problems hit the company and before they took government funds.

Yep. Chrysler bondholders are the next target—so stir up the Sheeple with AIG redux...

I believe this is old news. Could be wrong, but I think this was on Bloomberg months ago.

What a lot of manure. They are pushing this information now, while Freddie and Fannie are pushing billions in loans that will never be paid back.
Yeah. We are being played. Again.

But last year, AIG paid close attention to the polls and bet big on Democrats, giving them about 70 percent of its contributions. And the two people AIG singled out for its greatest financial support were Barack Obama and Sen. Chris Dodd, D-Conn., chairman of the upper chamber's banking committee. The two split about $204,000 in contributions. AIG also spent more than $21 million lobbying the Democratic Congress from 2007 to 2008. Well, here is my answer to the link to AIG.

A smokescreen re-story to hide the fact that Chrysler will not be returning the bailout money it received- it’s going right to the UAW, and the taxpayers are getting screwed. But hey, let’s keep the spotlight on AIG.
Sickening, and this country is sick, being run by some very sick people.
