Lets see we own 80% of AIG. So tax payers(AIG) are paying lawyers to sue our selfs so we get our money back? Am I missing something?

and the difference is most of the people on YOUR side of the political spectrum want to only blame BUSHIIRC, only Lehman Bros. failed...the rest were bought by other banks.Just a reminder to you partisans seeking to pin this mess entirely on the current administration?
Bush II gave the first two rounds of cash to AIG.
I know how inconvenient that might be to any of you who have the capacity to think beyond your prejudices, but there it is.
as i recall the bush admin let a few financial institutions fail....then everyone started screaming and timmy and bennie started passing out loans to aig ..... the dem controlled congress then drafted and passed the bills that bush signed into law and timmy and ben only passed out 1/2.....now barry timmy benneynanny and dirty harry are passing out money like candy at halloween.....
and the same congress that started this is still there accusing others, claiming the know how to fix this and passing out money.....
i blame one group of people.....if there is a person in office that you voted for.....it is your fault....you hired em....you had your chance to fire them ...you failed....suck it up.....
When Lehman failed it became apparent that the entire financial market was nothing but a house of cards being run by people with nothing to lose, in part because CEOs received billions of dollars just for taking a job and employees were promised billions of dollars in bonuses for taking ridiculous risks.
To blame it on Bush or Obama is convenient but ridiculous. To blame it on people that voted for either one is also ridiculous. It will be extremely difficult for anyone to sort out this mess...if not impossible.
nope, you got the full picture of this clusterfuckLets see we own 80% of AIG. So tax payers(AIG) are paying lawyers to sue our selfs so we get our money back? Am I missing something?

and YOU want to pin it all on BushWhere has anyone said differently about Bush starting this? Oh and the second one he procured, but passed it to President Obama.
Every post you read where some partisan nitwit attpts to pin this crap on OBama, honey.
Kittennorner, Xited, Garyd posts for example seem to want to play the partisan blame game, don't you think?
so?

It's reckless for these corporations to giving out multi-million dollar bonuses to people who screwed AIG up, but the United States government cannot go after these bonuses after the fact. The Senate won't approve it nor will Obama sign the bill. You just can't do it. Any future lending to AIG should have these purse strings attached. Just like the bailout bill has the no golden parachutte clause attached.
I'll get the rope.
The least experienced most untested and untried president in the entire history of the country. You hire an incompetent ignoramus you get an incompetent ignoramus.
About 46% of the electorate.The least experienced most untested and untried president in the entire history of the country. You hire an incompetent ignoramus you get an incompetent ignoramus.
Now who'da thunk THAT?
Letting the economy crash would be even more distasteful than what we have to do to try to right the errors of the previous admin. We learned that in the First Great Republican Depression. However, we can fix this so the people that created this debacle do not profit from it. And we can address many of our nations very real problems while doing that.
