Personally, I am outraged about the bonuses...also, since the fed gave AIG the bonus under Paulson, I don’t see what congress has to do with it...now Obama and congress need to get our money back and soon...Santelli sounds ridiculous defending these guys after he just talked about personal responsibility. I guess AIG masters of the universe get to live by a different code than you and me. Frankly, I am furious.
The untold story (so far) is any bonuses contracted before February 2009 were exempted by an amendment proposed and added by Democrats to the Stimulus bill. That Bill was signed into law By Barry Hussein.
Further AIG disclosed those bonuses last year and eveyone including Obama knew about them. Yet he still signed them into law.
I understand you are furious but you are furious at the wrong source.
Obama and the Democrats engineered it and are trying to lay off the blame on AIG.
Perhaps you should know that they were complicit in authorizing those bonuses, in fact criminal gang member Sen. Dodd was personally responsible for the part of the bill that authorized the bonuses for those employees of AIG.
I am outraged about the outrage.
If you had signed a contract with a company, and the company had the money, you would expect it to be paid.
If AIG hadn’t paid, the same distractory press (distracting from the real story) would be running stories about how AIG isn’t paying their employees even after getting money.
