No wonder the people of this country picked a man such as Obama. He has all the youth, and "rock star" quality that the youth of this country like, and people have become "followers" instead of forming their own beliefs and opinions. Is it any wonder that this country is in such a mess?
WHY I HATE RATPUBLICONMEN? Anti-Climate Change~Global Warming Anti-Environmental Conservation Anti-Women Equal Pay for Equal Work Anti-Increase of Minimum Wage Anti-Women Pro-Choice Anti-Health Insurance for US children Anti-Human & Animal Rights Anti-Hate Crime Discrimination Law against Gays Anti-Science~Evolution Anti-Same Sex Civil Marriage Anti-Universal Health Care etc. Pro-Tax cuts for the Rich Pro-BIG CORPS: Big Oils, Big Drugs, Big Insurances, Big Finances, Big Agri..
President Obama has said that AIG will not get away with it, and that every legal avenues are being studied to get every penny of these bonuses back from AIG.
There's even a strong possibilty of fraud on the part of AIG, for having use American Taxpayers bailout moneys to pay out bonuses.
Fuck Mexico and all it's lies!!!NAFA is wear all the jobs went people!!It is nice to see Obama will been over and take it up the ass for pore Mexico!!!
It's probably best just to read a transcript in 5 minutes, but if you're set on watching this, I recommend downloading and watching at 2x speed. 45 minutes of carefully worded, ploddingly slow speech is tedious at best, maddening at worst. My player does pitch shifting for sped up playback, so Press Secretary Gibbs doesn't end up sounding like a Bee Gees Gibb, which, come to think of it, might make him more entertaining.
The ELECTRIC CAR company mentioned in the briefing relates to the "TESLA MOTORS CORP" in California. They now produce the most advanced fully electric car on the planet. (American Know-How)
The "ROADSTER" goes from 0 to 60mph in 3.4 seconds. Travels 250 miles on a single charge. Takes 4 hours to fully recharge.
Next year they'll come out with a less expensive Family Car. As production increases, the price will drop.
Germany, Japan, England, etc. All auto makers want their batteries.
The Governator of California made a several million dollars deal with the TELSA MOTORS CORP to bring its business & jobs back to the state.
Many US inventions are being manufactured outside the USA.
President Obama's goal is to create incentives to bring these businesses back to the US and to penalize~not reward, US Corps that export jobs outside our country like, Mexico, India, Korea, China, Canada etc.
pedophile - Do you mean the REPUBLICAN Governor? LMAO!!! These cars are only for the super rich. Obama got over $100,000 from AIG. Perhaps he can afford one.
RonFellatio--In your racist limited intellect you failed to recognized that Republican or Democrat appellations, are irrelevant.
What matters is LIBERAL or CONSERVATIVE.
Gov. Swartzenegger, a Republican is LIBERAL minded, like Abe Lincoln was while the Democrats of his era were CONSERVATIVES who opposed the abolition of slavery.
TODAY the Dems are the LIBERALS and the Reps are the CONSERVATIVES.
Your lies & propaganda a la "FoxNews" found no choir in this discourse. Suck it!!
Pedovile - The only person to bring up race here is you. How sad. However it still doesn't change the fact that Obama needs to return his $100,000+ AIG bonus!
RonFellatio---Your profile page on youtube oozes racism, making you a true RatpubliConman.
I guess your President Obama is waiting for you to return the welfare checks first, that you've been cashing for years, while you watched TV all day long in your trailer park.
Think about it ... only 2 more weeks to go until the end of the month ... and you'll be able to take your monthly bath once again.
Like Rachel Maddow likes to say ..."Scrub, rinse, repeat." Ha! Ha!
Silly PedoVile how can we be the rich evil Republicans and the trailer trash at the same time? Even your stereotypes are pathetic. Anyway, Check the news. Dodd threw Obama under the bus and then Obama just "admitted" that his administration was responsible for the AIG bonuses! LMAO!! He's done. Can you say impeachment? LOL! He has no choice but to return that money at the very least now.
Senator Chris Dodd, in a CNN appearance on March 18, 2009 said that the TREASURE DEPT. was RESPONSIBLE for inserting at the last minute, EXEMPTIONS into the STIMULUS BILL that ALLOWED bailout recipients to receive BONUSES.
Sen. Dodd said that, OFFICIALS at the TREASURY DEPT. expressed concern that if the Government were to prohibit payouts, it could or WOULD be sued by AIG, which had contracts stipulating that bonuses were to be paid.
Silly PedoVile - Guess who runs the Treasure Department? (My God your are dopey) Obama has since taken FULL responsibility for the AIG bonus scam. It's clear he lied from the beginings. Let the impeachment begin!
PedoVile - First Obama told us he was "outraged" over the bonuses. Then they told us he "just found out about them" then in the end we find out that not only did he know about them last month but he also authorixed them! If that isn't lieing to you then you must be a complete fool. LMAO! Hey I have a bridge to sell you moron!
I think everyone including OBama that recieved a bonus should return the money.
RonFellatio--Candidate Obama NEVER received a bonus from AIG. He received a lawful contribution to his presidential campaign.
By your own warped logic, than all RepubliConmen who received contributions from BIG CORPS--(Big Oils, Big Finances, Big Drugs, Big Insurances, Big Telecoms etc ... that overcharged the American Consumers)--should all returned their contributions also?
With each lame argument MORON, you're digging yourself deeper & deeper into YOUR OWN HOLE. Stupid!
PedoVile - Switched off the war huh? Non-issue all of a sudden? Now it's on to the evil rich neo-cons (the ones not in the trailer) as being the ones at fault again? LMAO! What if I told you I agree everyone INCLUDING OBAMA who "lawfully" took money from AIG last year for a "contirbution" or "bonus" or whatever you want to call it should return it. Oh and by the way the executives who got thier bonus did so lawfully too thanks we now know to Obama! LMAO!
The Congress WILL GET THE BONUSES MONEY BACK FROM AIG.
IMPEACH BUSH & CHENEY instead ... because they deserve it. They lied & WILL NEVER BRING BACK to their families, the lives of our 4,200 valiant soldiers who died in Iraq, during an unprovoked & unwarranted war.
PedoVile - as much as you like to relieve your molestations from the past I hate to remind you that Bush is out of office and that the guy you just voted in to replace him just extended the war in Iraq to a minimum of 23 months more and doubled the troops in Afganastan. Here's another tidbit for you. 6 Times as many soldiers have died in Iraq in the last two months than over the same time period last year. It's to late to impeach Bush but not Obama.
- Speculations in Electric Commodities (ENRON) and ...
- Speculations in Oil Commodities (ENRON LOOPHOLE) raked in billions in indecent profit for these greedy Corporations, while the American Consumers suffered their price gouging.
The Bush Administration & the Republican Party were in league with them, having been paid millions in contributions (bribes) to their election campaign & did NOTHING to help the US Consumers.
Never before them, has electricity & gas/oil been so overpriced
Dem. Congress led by Sen. Carl Levin investigates 52,000 Offshore Secret Swiss Bank Accounts from Wealthy Americans & US Corporations hiding BILLIONS to not pay US tax.
Swiss Banks who broke US laws & defraud the US Taxpayers, paid $780 millions in fines to the US.
The Swiss Government refused to divulge the names of US account holders.
UNLIKE THE MIDDLE CLASS ... some Wealthy Americans & Big Corps are unwilling to help restore our faulty economy by paying their FAIR SHARE OF TAXES.
This guy is far less frustrating to listen to than McClellan, White AND Perino, but i hate when he laughs off people with questions involving doubts about Obama's leadership. It's not like the guy is flawless. He's not doing a bad job, but he has lied to us and broken many promises since taking office.
I was under the impression that the TARP was not a handing over of funds to AIG but rather a purchased stake in AIG ownership. Would this not put the government in the leadership role of the companys shareholders? From that position it would be a simple matter of renegotiating these contractual bonuses with the reciprocal unwilling party. As a homeowner faces refinance or foreclosure, shouldnt these parties face renegotiation or unemployment in kind?
At ~about~ 8:00, the two reporters are trying to tie-back TARP to the Obama Administration. And Gibbs isn't calling them on it.
And, it can be said (by Gibbs & Obama) far more succinctly, that: We don't want to reward the people who created the AIG situation for their mismanagement. That's not an appeal to vague concepts like common sense and propriety.
Bailing out AIG is a waste. No one is going to trust them again. They are a bunch of crooks. I wouldn't buy their insurance again if they were the last company on the face of the earth. They cancelled all single car policy holders 3 mths before asking for bail out money.
Mr Gibbs always comes across as very nervous and does not seem like a very good public speaker. The press secretary should come across as much more confident and as a more arousing speaker.
