There can't be an American alive who isn't  livid over these AIG crooks who know exactly how to manipulate the system and escape with millions and nothing we can do about it.  And what about our experts who okayed the bailout but then failed to consider persons bailed with use millions to pay bonuses, they say are contractual.  If ever there were a total cluster of unethical/immoral behavior, they AIG folks have the market cornered.  Shouldn't somebody have looked ahead and put in language such as:  "......not a red cent of any bailout money can go for bonuses to anyone employed, or under contract with AIG, under any circumstances."  If our Government is going to help keep major businesses in business, the lawyers need to put in air-tight language, so the shysters don't prosper.

    AIG are the Crooks eh? how about putting it in the laps of the two who were most responsible for AIG's troubles Chris Dodd and Barney Frank. Now they are trying to act like they are outraged for the camera. How about Dodd giving back the $103,000 dollars that AIG donated to his campaign? How about Obama doing the same with his $100,000? oh wait we can play outrage in front of the camera when it's not to their advantage.

    I would like to say a qouple of things about this AIG bonus issue. I believe that bonuses at this time in AIG's history is not great timing. I would say that if the employee entered into a contract with this company in good faith the company if able should in good faith pay the bonus. It is obvious that it takes people to run this company and the people that are getting these bonuses are doing the work that is needed to keep the company from loosing all the money that the company has recieved from the government. The people may be replaced but the CEO did not think it would be a good idea to offer a person a job in a failing company. Who would take these jobs I will tell who people who were desperate. If the contracts that were written are not honored what would keep our government from taking anything it deemed it needed? I am deeply concerned that in our country money is more important than an agreement made in good faith. Where has our countries integrity gone?
