What am I wrong about? The bankers that own the Federal Reserve/AIG/Lehman/and every other bank are the ones pulling the strings here buddy.
I'm trying to agree with you that Dodd is no different than the GOP who clearly were in the bankers pockets the last 8 years.
Bush/Paulson/Dodd/Geithner are all being controlled by the bankers.
Why would Geithner or Paulson or Dodd or Bush want to give the AIG exec's their bonus'?
I think someone higher up is telling them to give the exec's their bonus'.
Do you really believe they were afraid they would be sued if they didn't honor the contracts. I don't.
I don't think you buy that either.
So why do you think Dodd pulled out the rule that said no bonus'?
Who told him to do that? Geithner? On his own?
Why did Bush/Paulson try to slip this by us last year? It is a fact they did.

So how are the Republicans any better on this than the Dems?
Only us Democrats don't approve of this shit going on. Republicans defended this kind of stuff the last 8 years. To Republicans, this isn't even a problem. You all think these ceo's deserve the money.
I can just imagine your side defending this if you were in charge. YOu'd be saying, "they had contracts, and you can't break contracts".
In fact, your side is even bitching about that. Fuck those contracts! The government owns AIG now. Without us bailing them out, they don't even have jobs.
Notice how I don't defend Dodd & Geithner like you defended Bush/Paulson last year?
