| My take on this -- Dodd and indeed Obama himself could have told the American People from the beginning that a measly dime out of every $100 AIG got, was going to bonuses and employee retention, mainly to circumvent costly litigation. It's obvious now they knew this at the time, and now their false outrage isn't playing very well to the folks. It's a PR faux pas, and there isn't a Presidency in the history of our nation that hasn't had its share of them.
It all goes back to the promise of a new approach instead of the same old cronyism, this entire controversy could have been avoided simply by making this part of the deal public, front and center, right from the start.
But, that's hindsight. |
