Today was filled with a bunch of the usual fake outrage from the left concerning the bonuses that AIG executives received. Lets remember, these bonuses were allowed in the Porkulus bill from Obama.
Now we find out Obama, and many other politicians were the recipients of bonuses and payoffs from AIG during the campaign.
From RedState.com:
“Senator Barack Obama received a $101,332 bonus from American International Group in the form of political contributions according to Opensecrets.org. The two biggest Congressional recipients of bonuses from the A.I.G. are – Senators Chris Dodd and Senator Barack Obama.
The A.I.G. Financial Products affiliate of A.I.G. gave out $136,928, the most of any AIG affiliate, in the 2008 cycle. I would note that A.I.G.’s financial products division is the unit that wrote trillions of dollars’ worth of credit-default swaps and “misjudged” the risk.”
I think it’s time for Obama to do the right thing and just resign. His administration has been a complete embarrassment so far.
