Great.

When will the so called media understand what is happening at AIG? The government didn't bail out AIG! In other words, there was no money injected into AIG to save the company or improve its balance sheet or help it as an ongoing concern. Rather, what was done was basically that the government used its funds to flow through AIG to make the counterparties whole. In exchange for that, the government fired the CEO, installed their own CEO, shook up the board and took over the company. They are now liquidating the companies and trying to sell off the profitable insurance companies that were operating just fine until now and can help repay the taxpayer for the money that was actually given to the counterparties. Once the media would understand that, maybe they could stop coming up with idiotic yellow journalism like ABC does every two weeks. All this hatred that the media stirs up and directs at AIG does is send business to Zurich and diminishes the value of any return the taxpayer hopes to see from this so called bail out. If you own 80 percent of a company that you are selling off piece by piece why would try to smear the image of those companies, makes no sense to me!]]> Mon, 20 Apr 2009 10:10:45 -0400 Great points.

In fact, the man who heads up the unit was brought over from Merrill and guess what yes, you have to give him money in order for him to take the job since he is good enough to go somewhere else. Who would go there now? You own the company, it is losing value everyday. You can't blame Matt Lauer, who is getting ratings and making money for NBC, for the problems GE is having in their financial unit. Would it make sense not to pay him and then have him go to ABC? No, you would end up hurting the division that is making money! This is a conglomorate and there is plenty of good business units there that are now going to lose value because of the demonization of the parent. This FP unit is a fly speck on the Company as a whole but if we keep this up the whole company goes down along with all value the taxpayer could possibly reap from a sale. Your lack of understanding of how business works is fine, the problem is that Congress shares your ignorance.]]> Thu, 26 Mar 2009 13:17:32 -0400 Do you even realize that many of these executives were brought in after the fall to fix that unit.

So when Kevin Kelly, a legend in insurance who has never lost money for the company left that was a good thing for the company, that will really help out the country. This was a small unit that took down the parent. AIG is humongous. It is like blaming NBC for what GE Financial Unit does. You really have no clue, just let anger fuel your thinking, that is productive!]]> Fri, 20 Mar 2009 10:40:03 -0400 Good point obviously everyone who works for AIG is to blame even though some of the units are making billions in profit.
