Oh such poor insight.

The beating is not indiscriminate since it is known that the bonuses is being awarded to the FAILING division of AIG and as taxpayers we are the owners of AIG. Hence it is imperative to express dissatisfaction at such incompetent management.

To be silent on the matter would simply condone and propagate such incompetence. The notion that we should be silent or forgiving is foolish.

It makes no sense to loan a company money, then negatively profile the employees who stayed to clean up the mess, and then wonder why the whole company continues to fall apart. It seems like this is really what O's administration wants - for AIG to fall apart as some example. Unfortunately they are just throwing taxpayer money away.

Either don't loan them money in the first place, or formally nationalize the company and sell of the assets for Pete's sake. But don't loan taxpayer money and attempt to run the company through the Media.

Indeed there is.

This is true, the beatings are not indiscriminate. However, wasn’t the whole point of the ‘bailout’ SUPPOSED to be to keep them from failing? Getting angry about this, at so soon a date, seems to me to be rather like a surgeon declaring the patient dead after removing the failing heart and starting to place the new one in w/o even finishing sewing the patient up (Or even connecting all the veins/artiries).

Hence it is imperative to express dissatisfaction at such incompetent management.
