Boehner on AIG: Now We Know Why No One Was Allowed to Read the Stimulus

[pokeinsider]

stop playing politics

[weelittlewillie]

WAY TO GO !!!! JOHN , AT first I thought you was acting in Movie , when you threw the papers in the floor . You are the boss dog ... rest of us old hound dogs are ready to get off the porch and head down the path with you. YOU GO BIG GUY !!!!

[thesoothsayers]

When is Geitner going to resign? I am doing 6 to 7 bankruptcies a day for middle class Americans losing everything they have, and AIG executives and the rest of Wall Street are living off of government handouts. This is insane.

Hello Senator John Boehner. This is my view on the whole bonus situation. I DON'T care what a private sector business pays their CEO's . I DON'T like the IDEA of gov. DICKtating what a private sector business can pay THEIR employees or how much a private sector employee can make. BUTT once the private sector business takes tax payer money they can't bitch about the gov. bitching about them. It's still wrong for gov. to DICKtate to anybody in the private sector business how much they can make.

Keep acting like real conservatives and you get my interest. Why couldn't you be more like conservatives when you had more power?

[Alabama771]

Keep it up John. The American people are starting to see the true colors of this Administration. it won't be long before they all realize we need republican leadership to get us out of this mess!!!

[1DailyPlanet]

Thanks John! I heard today that Obama's teleprompter has its own blogspot! ROFL!

[Obamacaca]

Impeach Obama NOW!

[ddtpfri]

These Democrats and Liberals just continue ruin this country. What the hell is wrong with them? Americans, please wake up and stop voting for these people. They are not helping anyone but themselves. If you want to get ahead in life and America vote for people that will help you get ahead be able to take care of yourself. Vote Republican and Conservative and save America from corruption and socialism, so you can succeed

Senator Chris Dodd D-Conn.,was number 1 in contributions from AIG to his short-lived 2008 Presidential Campaign.

Uhbama was Number 2.I KNEW there was another reason Barry is a total shitbag! He's not only a Socialist,but a incompetent one at that!

Dodd has also been Chairman of the Senate Banking Commitee for several years.The biggest donators to his campaign were major banks- such as Bank Of America & Chase etc.

But thats not a conflict of interest,is it? ;)

[blicksflicks]

Man, we are so screwed. Obama and the Democratic Congress are going to destroy the rest of the American economy and have our children wake up homeless on the same continent their forefathers conquered. Something must be done. This is a nightmare. Obama's a celebrity. He's no President.

Check your state for the nearest TEA PARTY on April 15, 2009...Be There!!!

The dems fast-tracked it by using Piglosi as a an excuse not to have time to read the entire 1400 pages that obama swore he would read "Line by Line" during his campaign.

From what I heard Piglosi had to go to europe and she didn't want to miss her flight on the tax-payer's military jet (she pays pennies on the dollars for using it). She had canceled so often before for less..maybe broke a nail? I never did hear why she had to rush off so quickly....perhaps she was anticipating angry mobs.

The media should shine light to 9000 earmarks one by one to remind Americans of the Pork BS.

[JohnRhysMusician]

Very good.

[maggie1715]

Give us marching orders and we'll get in there and kick butt, we have the names. Tea Parties are having a great effect even if the MSM isn't reporting them,folks are coming out anyway. Can you feel it? Americans are tired,worried and just plain mad! Washington we will be heard. You guys work for us,you have a job because of us,we can fire you,and take back our nation. Bad Boys Bad Boys whatcha ya gonna do when we come for you???

[marshhenga]

The democrats fast tracked the bill by not allowing debate on the floor. The bill had to be signed ASAP because Obama was spouting "Catastrophe will follow, if not passed immediately. Bill presented Thursday, passed Friday without being read. But Obama takes 3day holiday weekend to Chicago before signing. Could have taken the weekend to review and voted as late as Monday. Someone didn't want this bill to be read...

[WeBeGood06]

Republican Talking Trash? Better solutions like bailing out AIG, and a bunch of other Banks who gave huge bonuses last year. Obama continues the Bush plan wrt Banks/AIG, and Republicans are complaining. Where was Boehner when it was time to Impeach Bush and Cheney a few years ago, before the collapse. Exactly what solution is he talking about? Real Money? Abolishing the FED? Is he a Ron Paul supporter now? I don't think so.

[eurogoldexchange]

Yeah, the republicans would have certainly stopped this..NOT

[bittergunowner12]

And what did the Democrats do to stop this? Nothing.

[locutionism]

The democrats where wrong to pass the stimulus bill imho, but the reps liked these bonus clauses, and now that they look to lose the battle over them they turn on their own. That kind of immoral behaviour you seldom see amongst democrats. That said I believe the government is completely irrelevant unless they have the banking and military industrial complex on their side and that will never ever happen.

[JohnRhysMusician]

They would have. They would have outed Chris Dodd earlier.

[bigsaxman]

Thank you Congressman Boehner. I'm proud that you are from my state of Ohio.

[filmbooks]

Boehner - I think you should draft a bill that would limit the compensation for anyone in a company that has taken gov. money to $150,000.00 a year with up to 33% for a performance bonus. Any employee at any level.

Put your pen where your outrage is.

[pescando]

Congressman, please clarify to the media that Republicans don't won't Obama to fail. We just know that his current reckless policies will fail, as evidenced by this disastrous Economic Recovery Act and the subsequent AIG mess.

[BlankMee]

Keep up the fight

Thanks

[bossman068410]

Congress and It's partner in crime the FED Reserve did this !!!! AIG is just one of the many products of the mess. The outrage is a MISDIRECTION to keep you from seeing the TRILLIONS going out the door. WE WILL PAY in inflation and perhaps even have a Weimar Republic situation. Prepare for the World currency rolling out during the G8. Then the reign of tyranny shall be upon us. The banking system will steal the wealth though INFLATION.

Pretty darn lonely in the face of a media that won't context properly with any journalistic responsibility to the American people.

I have to wonder what people are doing with their free time these days. Are they only watching the Obama media machine and not thinking at all? Because you have to be pretty darn disengaged to not see what is going on.
