Best Performance of Hypocritical Indignation
Timothy Geithner, you remember him - the guy we just couldn't do without !
Geithner was the architect of the $85B AIG bailout AND added $30B on top of that after AIG reported 4th quarter losses.
Christopher Dodd is the largest recipient of AIG donations and now is trying to tax those retention payments (bonuses). Here's why I call this guy hypocrite in chief -- Dodd inserted an amendment that provided for these bonuses in the porkulus bill last month. The amendment was put in as an exception for AIG contractually obligated bonuses agreed upon before February 11, 2009.
So now you can see the hypocrisy here. This indignation is all a ruse to divert attention away from the debacle this administration has become in less than 2 months.
Someone said here that they couldn't wait until this administration is over in 4 years. I assert that there will be so much damage with illegal immigration amnesty, socialized medicine, more left leaning re-write the Constitution Supreme Court judges, and suicidal foreign policy that we may not recover even after throwing the bums out. Just this morning I am hearing the many pension plans that most of us are drawing from will be in trouble. Bailouts, rescues, whatever you want to call them are detrimental to our economic health. Living without our means as individuals and as a collective Republic should be the standard.
I didn't vote for Obama but that doesn't give me much comfort now anyway. He cannot succeed on this track and I don't believe he's as smart as many think. He has surrounded himself with poor choices in his cabinet, appointing 'czars' and seems only to be able to give speeches using his 7x24 teleprompter. Not good folks.
