[...] An article from Allahpundit at Hot Air lead me to this story. With this information we can see that this scandal goes much farther then a disgraceful Democratic Senator, but this leads farther up the chain then the Treasury Secretary. Would it surprise anyone that Barack Obama himself is wrapped up in all this? Remember that this is the man who signed the bailout bill, the man who rushed through this multi-billion dollar “helping hand” for AIG was BMWing about former President Bush “rushing” the Patriot Act in 2004. He either didn’t read it or he did and didn’t care, but either way, Obama is another politician responsible for this mess. AIG isn’t the “suicide bomber” here, this man and his administration are the one’s with “their finger on the trigger”, threatening to seize American assets if they don’t get their way. Talk about a “Trojan Horse”, Obama and his ilk were elected because they promised this kind of thing wouldn’t happen, that it wouldn’t be “business as usual”, but all we are seeing is stereotypical politician behaviour. Once again, would it surprise any of you that both Barack Obama and Chris Dodd received sizable campaign contributions from AIG? Unbelievable… [...]

First They tried in breaking contract law
Violating the US constitution

Then when they reralized their DUMB corrupt asses were in the sling.. what did there
MORONS DO?

WHY THEY PASSED
a Personalized puntive TAX
against INDIVIDUAL AMERICANS targeting what they
Legally earned and was PASSED by the MEMBERS OF CONGRESS

I am sorry
but it is almost time for a new REVOLUTIONARY WAR II
but we will need to remove by force
ALL of congress and the house of representatives..

Obama is an idiot
he isnt my president..
Why should i obey them
when they the liberals are tearing our hallowed constitution to shreds..

you MORONS..

Hey just because it was in their voicemail doesn’t mean they know about it.

Four: Geithner knew about the bonuses way back when he was the head of the NY Fed, or

Five: Everyone at the Fed knew except Geithner because he was too incurious about or unaware of how businesses are run.

No matter what it’s a problem.

They didn’t just start talking retention bonuses in the past week. Most companies that are going down the tube or doing mass layoffs give retention bonuses to keep key people in place to wind down the business.

Has Geithner ever worked in the private sector or is he like Obama who has only had university, government or community activist jobs?

Okay, Dodd says he put in a limit on bonuses… then under pressure from the treasury (Geitner?) they dropped the requirement that tax money not go for bonuses… And the reasoning is “they” don’t want to get “sued”.

Who is “they”, Congress, the Treasury, the Whitehouse? Who was likely to get sued over that language. Certainly not the Treasury Dept. I mean who would even know what changes the Treasury asked for or didn’t.

It had to be the Congress or the Whitehouse if that was even the reason…

Is this the last straw for TurboTax Tim?

I don’t think it is. The One can’t give up on him because if you remember what The One said He is the only one that can do the job. Bambam can’t give up on him. I think he is stuck. There is noone else that can help us.
