Aren’t you glad you have to put off your summer vacation plans knowing the Obamas are partying virtually every night while Barkey’s cronies at AIG are getting their $1 million bonuses? I thought so.

Just so you know, here’s the huge list of people at the White House tonight partying on our dime.

    If I’m right, there is nothing left to do but get right with G-d. Hopefully, I’m wrong. That’s all.

    Peace. 🙂

    Rush had a good show/transcript on the AIG bonuses. Apparently they disclosed these contractual bonuses, times and amounts a year ago.
    Even Dodd added a clause in the spending bill exempting the bonuses. Apparently this is more smoke screen for O. http://tinyurl.com/chbeg4
    Hannity actually covered this load of crap tonight.
    Liars, liars pants on fire! Can charges be leveled against these idiots?

    What, no Oprah?

    I see that our Speaker of the House Andy Dillon was there. No doubt he was giving THE ONE advice on how to make the other 49 look just like Michigan.
    We had a recession before anyone else, and so far taxing our way out of it hasn’t worked very well.
    At least Gov. Granholm doesn’t have a printing pre$$.

    Welcome, Longview. You seem to have misplaced the ‘o’ in God, I’m afraid. 😉

    Sneaking one in before an excruciating all-day meeting with my Central today.

    The news is getting over on me. From listening to news broadcasts totally miss the boat on reporting the billions being sent to overseas banks, to Natasha Richardson, Russian rearmament ( gee, we didn’t see this coming) and Glen Beck ( do I commit suicide now or tomorrow?), I needed a break.

    Last night I turned it all off and watched “The Quiet Man”, starring John Wayne and the woman I regard as perhaps the most beautiful of all time- Maureen o’Hara. Gorgeous red hair, and emerald eyes. Drop-dead-fall-in-love-on-the-spot beauty.
    And what a great movie. Wayne plays an ex-boxer who killed a man in the states, and returns to his Irish roots in Innisfree. O’Hara is the “spinster” sister of a neighbor known as “the best man in town”, who loses a battle with Wayne to buy up the family homestead. The setting is enough, but going back in time to the days when what was right and proper ( couldn’t talk about a woman in a bar, and introductions had to be formalized ) made me think how far we’ve fallen. The fight at the end is worth the wait, with Wayne knocking the teeth out of O’Hara’s brother ( ok, it’s a guy thing). Highly recommended.

    Am I the only one who noticed that the WH gave an official party for the Irish ambassador but not for the British PM? Odd, what?

    Switch the name Barack Obama with George W. Bush and see the reaction from the MSM!

    So Dodd inserts the lingo to enable AIG to pay the bonuses, and Geitner knows about the insert, and that the company will pay the retention bonuses, even to employees that no longer work there. The Republicans barely get 24 Hrs. to review the 850 page monstrocity of a bill. Now Dodd is shocked! Schumer is ouraged! Franks thinks he saw a puddy-tat! The Dems are going to pass a 100% tax on AIG bonuses (that is 100% unconstitutional).

    Let AIG go bankrupt. There are plenty of good insurance companies that will pick up the real insurance assets.

    Investigate Chris Dodd, and Barney Franks, who took campaign money and sweetheart loans from Fannie and Freddy, and lots of campain funds from AIG.

    Not to mention they were the ones that decided that “Credit Default Swaps” (mortgage backed security insurance)were not actually insurance per se, and therefore needed no reserve backing.

    AIG collected premiums that were essentially free money. They could therefore reduce the premiums to a bargain price, since it was virtually 100% profit, unless it all went ka-blewy, which it did. All with the backing of Chris Dodd, Barney Franks and Chuckie Schumer.

    Note to media: when you get sick to your stomach while acting stupid and asking super soft ball questions of these guys, just turn to the camera and say: BUT DICK CHENY USED TO WORK FOR HALIBURTAN!!!!!

    Hi Fox.

    Nah, that’s the way Jews write it. I’m not Jewish, but their reason for doing it makes sense to me. *shrug*
