I weep for this country.

Wall Street Breakfast: Must-Know News

The real genius here is the architect of this outrage residing in the current adminstration. They were able to turn the country's attention to these bonuses (which they knew about for months and endorsed since AIG's Board is unable to take any action without running it by the Fed) and away from the billions that went to the counterparties, i.e., Goldmen, etc... They were the ones bailed out, not AIG. They were the ones who created the mortages not AIG. The day the identity of the counterparties were released the outrage from Washington was created.
It is obvious, but still the sheep all waive their pick signs and our upset that these folks got bonuses because they are trying to unwind accounts that could cost the taxpayers way more than they have paid so far!
