It's Getting Out of Hand

Obama is “trying to temper outrage over AIG bonuses.” Hmmm? What? Isn’t he the biggest one “stoking the fires” of outrage just yesterday? Maybe he’s seeing it get out of hand. Ben Bernanke (Chairman, The Fed) wanted to block those bonuses but was “talked out of it.” He doesn’t say by whom (Obama, maybe?). In any case, the ”outrage” is misplaced. It should be against HIM and the Democrat-controlled Congress, whose predecessors passed the law that caused it all and whose current members are “making hay” with it, giving away TRILLIONS of dollars to their friends and supporters. How much of it is coming back into their own pockets? (Yahoo News/AP)
