LOS ANGELES - President Barack Obama said Thursday evening that he was “stunned” to hear about the $165 million in bonuses that were paid to employees of troubled insurer AIG over the weekend, promising to do everything he could to “get these bonuses back.”

“These financial industries are holding us hostage,” Obama said in an interview on NBC’s “Tonight Show With Jay Leno,” which NBC said was the first time a sitting president had been a guest on a late-night talk show.
Give me a fricking break! Does this man have any talents other than pandering to the mob?

And that "hostage" remark is some serious pot calling the kettle black. Wonder if AIG feels like its holding the government hostage.....

A wise woman once told me, if you are accused of something, and, in your heart, you can honestly say the accusation is false, then view the accusation as an admission of the accuser's actions. The louder congress screams GREED and LIES the closer we should look at congress.
