The AIG lies get more and more unbelievable

Obama and Dodd and Geithner,

See No Evil , Hear No Evil, and Speak No Evil!

Here are some other partisan facts for you to ponder Rich,

After much outrage about the $165 milion in AIG bonuses, it has now come to light that both Senator Dodd and President Obama were the two largest recipients of AIG campaign money. They were the only two politicians that recieved over $100,000, in 2008, from the failing company. Dodd received $103,100 and then Senator Obama received $100,332. AIG gave more than $585,000 to Congressional and Presidential Candidates last year favoring Democrats 3 to 1 over Republicans. So Obama and Dodd together received approximately 35% of the total payout. Are they going to pay it back? Dodd inserted the language thinking it would not come back to bite him. Now he is trying to blame others with his lame denials. He needs to be out the Senate. Doubtful the Republicans could pick this seat up but someone this dishonest, remmber his lies about his favorable treatment from Countrywide on his personal loans, should not be in Congress making laws.

From the AP, certainly not a right wing attack machine, http://www.kansascity.com/444/story/1091850.html

While administration officials insisted Tuesday that neither Obama nor Geithner learned of the impending bonus payments until last week (a gigantic lie especially saying Geithner didn't know), the problem wasn't new. AIG's plans to pay hundreds of millions of dollars were publicized last fall, when Congress started asking questions about expensive junkets the company had sponsored. A November SEC filing by the company details more than $469 million in "retention payments" to keep prized employees. Remember the reason Geithner is the Secretary of the Treasury is because he was the key drafter of the original TARP. He needs to go as well. Worst Treasury Secretary in history.

You have your eye on the wrong ball. A lot of heat and no light.
