Obama received $103,000 from AIG

[E30 Cabrio]

The Dems are all outraged about AIG giving out bonuses after the Government bailed them out with 165 Billion dollars, but not a word about the 103k AIG gave Obama when he was a Senator.

Nice investment for AIG - give 103k, get back 165 billion.

Oddly enough, the MSM is somehow not reporting this story for some strange and unknown reason, nor is Jon Stewart getting his panties bunched over it either.

It was probably to fund his neo-Nazi terrorist regime.

:roll:

Perhaps this is why the MSM isn't talking:

He's going to be the President for the next 4 years...you lost, get over it. You don't see Democrats whining about Bush all the time, oh nope...wait....ya you do

nevermind, carry on

OH MY FUCKING GOD.

Obama got "political contributions" from some big giant insurance/financial firm?

That has NEVER happened before in the HISTORY of politics. EVER.

I guess "Ignorant Bliss" goes along with "Hope" and "Change"

[Vedubin01]

or the fact that the huge stimulus package had a section that allowed AIG the bonuses that were issued to 73 people for over a million each at the time AIG has borrowed 100's of billions of Dollars of taxpayer money to cover bad business deals....

Somewhere, a Circus is missing their Clown...

Yeah, gotta love the grandstanding by the Dems on this one when they are the one's who OK'd the bonuses but apparently "didn't know" just like Obama didn't know Ayers was a terrorist, Rezko was a crook, Wright was a racist, etc...

Inspires a lot of confidence having a guy in charge who doesn't know what's going on.

Of course, the MSM is complicit as they are giving plenty of airtime to the false outrage, but none to the fact that Obama knew and that Obama received over 100k from AIG

If this was an "R", we would be seeing polls being run asking if it was appropriate for the President to give our money to a company that gave him so much money, more than any other Senator.

Then, those obviously negative poll numbers would be run 24/7

But with Obama, not a word from the MSM

How long is Obama going to get a pass from the MSM with his "I didn't know" lameness?

The guy is an empty suit and doesn't have a clue.

Edit: Just read the link from the post above. The evidence against Obama is pretty damning. He is either very incompetent, very corrupt, or both.

Shove your ignorance up your ass, along with your hope and change. And get Biden to spit on it for you, it might go in easier.

FYI, I didn't vote for him. So stand facing a mirror and sling your insults.

So why are you getting so defensive?

And the homosexual references sound like projection on your part.

I don't think like that, so why do you?

[Jand3rson]

I don't appreciate being called ignorant. If there's one thing I'm not, that's it.

[Danny]

I like Obama, he's pretty.

You assumed I called you ignorant.

I didn't.

If I was going to, I would have quoted your post with my reply.

[Jand3rson]

You were calling anyone who disagreed with you ignorant.

What was the point of this whole new thread? Judging from your avatar and starting this thread, you were looking to start an argument.

Is this really important enough to start another BS political thread on? Are you going to post "facts" about how much money so many past presidents have recieved from financial institutions and god only knows who else?
