What the hell is going on?!?!

Today Senator Chris Dodd admitted that he was the one who took out wording in a bill that would have limited and/or prevented bonuses that were given to AIG executives. This was a reversal from yesterday when Dodd said "I don't know how that wording got taken out, when it left my desk there were no dates or exemptions on bonuses..." Senator Dodd said today that the Treasury Dept, headed by Barack Obama's handpicked Secretary Tim Geithner, forced him to exempt the bonuses at AIG. Guess who received more money from AIG last year than anyone else in the world. Chris Dodd and Barack Obama. The Obama administration and senators on both side of the aisle expressed outrage that a company that received hundreds of billions of dollars from the federal government in bailout money was handing out millions in "performance bonuses". The public was outraged as well that a company that needed federal assistance to avoid bankruptcy is giving out millions to their employees and saying "job well done". What the public didn't know is that Obama and Dodd were returning favors to AIG executives for filling their coffers. Barack Obama went on national TV yesterday acting outraged, at the same time knowing that these bonuses would be safe precisely because of him. President Obama promised transparency in his government and to fight for the middle class. It turns out he is no different than any other politician in Washington. He scratches the backs of those that give him millions with the money of the taxpayer.
