AIG does the right thing

It appears that there is good sense with some of the executives at AIG. About $50 milli of the $165 in bonus money has been returned. Not all of the money will be recovered even if a bill or tax is imposed because some of the bonuses were paid out to people outside of the U.S. So now that we got the money back, now what? Can the American people get a bonus? We should get a performance bonus for not burning down the country. I’m still for the wiping away of private debts because I don’t see why lenders should get bailed out by the government with tax money and money from the tax payers! I read reports that our economy is gonna bottom out at the end of this year…whooohoo. Just when you thought things couldn’t get worse.

Barack doesn't work in the U.S. I guess

Another thing that bothers me with AIGate (oh, that’s all me, so when people start usin it, you know where you read it first!) is the Obama Administration. This nigga is startin to piss me off with his lack of knowledge. And by knowledge, I mean when he uses the excuse that he “didn’t know”. Let’s start from the beginning. It appears that in the stimulus package there was a part that said AIG would be allowed to use some of the bailout money to pay for bonuses. Actually, I’ll let Sen. Dodd explain since he wrote it in their (guess what state he represents):

For my international readers, when people get rich in the Northeast, they don’t live in New York because it’s too crowded. The super wealthy live in CT (Connecticut). Who would be looked at as super wealthy? A person who gets a million dollar bonus on top of his/her salary. So this was worked on in the Senate? And nobody went to Obama and his crew and said “hey, they are tryin to use some of the stimulus money to compensate bonuses.”? Bullshit. Even if no one came to him and told him, he still can’t play dumb with me. What the fuck did AIG do with the first payout from TARP? They sent people on vacations to resorts!!! HOW THE FUCK COULD YOU NOT SEE THIS COMING? When people started complain about AIG ill spending, I thought how is this “news”? Didn’t they do this months ago? Obama, stop listening to the white people around you. It will only result in your downfall. And I’m not havin ‘buyer’s remorse’. I selected Barack because I still believe he will do a better job than Bush...I mean McCain.

McCain represented Capitalism


If you didn’t think Obama was a socialist before…I mean really? He’s just gonna tell AIG what to do with their money? I wish a nigga would loan me some money then tell me what to do with it. I don’t care if the person that loaned me the money is the same person I put out of a home or created a loss of employment for them. They loaned me the money, now they should shut the fuck up and let me go shoppin with it. I worked HARD to fuck up your life savings and your retirement funds. I don’t give a fuck if your parents lived through the original Depression nor do I give a fuck if you fought in the Second World War. I don’t CARE if you took the smart route and decided to do long term investing so that you would have money when you retired unlike me who took other people’s money and put it on either ‘red’ or ‘black’. This is about ME and the 2 Gulfstream jets I own because I like to fly like regular people do, so I use my second plane for my “connecting flights.” And now this socialist President wants to take it all away from me. Fuck him!
