The point is Rick, Congress went out of it's way to make those bonuses payable in the stimulus bill (which was written and passed by the Democrats). Dodd, (supposedly, but who really knows, at the behest of the administration) took out his language that would have prevented the bonuses and inserted language that would make them payable. Whatever deal Paulson worked out with AIG didn't have to stand. Renegotiation could have been part of the stimulus, but it wasn't.

The bottom line is, Obama could have done something about it, and didn't. You can spin it 15 ways from Sunday, but it's on Bambi's doorstep, not Bush's.
