How come no one in the republican party is speaking out against AIG bonuses?

President Obama is outraged that AIG is paying out bonuses, why is it that no one from the republican party is speaking out against AIG?
isn’t this contractual obligation just like a union contract that most business is opposed to? Oh wait only the top management is allowed to have a contract, screw the rest of the grunts!

  1. “President Obama is outraged that AIG is paying out bonuses”

    FAKE, FAKE, FAKE outrage. . . . . . .

    Original TARP was written by US CONGRESS, signed by EVERY DEMOCRAT including OBAMA, they are the legislative branch of this government (most of them are GD lawyers).

    They should have known better than to give money without strings attached. . . .

    And now same CONGRESS and Obama administration screaming foul. . .

    First portion (about $380billion dollars) of the TARP was distributed without any stipulations. . .

    A:~)

  2. You do realize the “bonuses” are contractual obligations that were signed and agreed upon before the bailout, right? It’s not like AIG just went “here, have some free money!” How would you feel if your job was obligated by contract to pay you an annual bonus, and then breached your contract by not paying you?

  3. because they are the party of the enterprise having craze and corruption, what republicans are whole ungefähr, screw us and work together let the rich rich receive, is worth smaller each republican, than $200,000 the washed brain is or otherwise they do not wählen republicans wà ¼ rden

  4. Obviously you don’t watch anything unless it’s from a liberal source. There are republicans speaking out against it.

    Watch more than just CNN.

    .

  5. They are too busy putting down crippled people & showing stories about Anna Nicole Smith & brawling blondes McCain & Ingrahm. Obviously the who part if built on helping greedy people rob the country so why would they pretend they don’t like this people doing what they are doing?

  6. Its not real! didn’t see the small grin on his face? Lets see what he does about it.

  7. Why do libs always try to prove something that can’t be proven? It is impossible for you to prove that nobody in the republican party is outraged by their irresponsibility. Of course we are, everyone is. You won’t actually see republicans much in the mainstream news. They aren’t allowed. Since you all think Fox News is a joke, you will never actually get the republican perspective.

  8. It’s obvious to anyone with a brain what the Dems and Obama are doing. It’s a diversionary tactic to take the focus off the failed policies being generated by this administration. This happens all the time in politics and most people fall for it! It’s like a magician using props and flamboyant stage theatrics and we lose focus. This is exactly what is going on.

  9. Republicans, who do not speak out against AIG
    & #039;
    Clock CNN message and – c$sie see an area full by them meckernd
    ,
    Completely

  10. They are, but they keep from speaking à ¼ it more ber mà ¼ de and wà ¼ nschen effected to something. Obama is während all Gespräch, Pelosi the democrats like a Bà ¼ ndel children strands. It is to the Parteigänger fà ¼ r the land well-being.

  11. Where have you been? They are,and I know we’ll hear about one of them on here soon if it hasn’t already been brought up.

  12. Because there is not a valid reason to bash the compensation system. Bonuses are, in this case, contractual obligations. That means the company had to pay or face lawsuits. The US owes about 80% of AIG. In effect, the US would end up paying any claims for punitive damages.

    Don’t be a Democrat Kool Aid drinker. Find out all of the facts before going off on a rant.

  13. Senator Grassey just asked the AIG Execs to kill themselves. Is that enough? Are maybe Obama should do it.

  14. ?

    I suggest watching the news. Maybe FOX for a change. They, at least cover that perspective.

  15. They did before the Dem congress handed them the first bail out! Obama is doing the right thing, However the Democrat run Congress should have done this much earlier!

  16. Put down your glass of Kool-Aid for just a minute and read or listen to all the news . I believe Senetor Shelby of Alabama is a Republican. There are several others. If you really knew what you were taking about , you would know that TARP had no restrictions on banks on what they could do with the money. Also this amount of bonuses is less than one tenth of one percent of the money received. Did you also know that the Government appointed the new head of AIG ? Yes this Democrat is in charge of the company. Why did he not stop the bonus checks. The say they had contract obligations to pay these bonuses. Without any Government restrictions against it, there is not much the Government can do now. Funny how when the Auto companies wanted a loan, Congress put several restrictions on them, including saleries, but with the banking industry none were placed on them. This was set up and passed by the majority party ( democrats). Maybe your question should be which Democrat is on the take with the banking industry?

  17. Dear CLEAR Clutter, in former times admits than celebrates, invoke hoo! http://answers. Yahoo. com/my/profile; _ylt=AmkvAs_NzB7PGT2Y5HvFTcPY7BR. ; _ylv=3? show=I6dcRgD6aa

    please BEGINNINGS you ask WITH YOUR HEAD. You& #039; ll have much the work there!

    Many republicans must unfortunately out STILL speak!
    Ignorance won and & quot; stimulus& quot; became and now we& #039 exceeded; RH, asking whether the republicans speak above!
    Again ignorance prevails forwards! Take a view; http://www. youtube. COM/Uhr? v=mm1KOBMg1Y8

  18. This contractual obligation is BS. A Prämie is awarded to bersteigen to those, the Währungsziele to reach or

  19. They have been, but are in the minority and have no say in anything right now. And if you just watch left wing news stations like CNN, MSNBC, CBS, NBC, ABC etc. you definitely won’t get the whole picture.

    Besides, it was Dodd (one of the democrats who created this mess) who put in the provision that the bonuses could not be stopped. That was a long time ago.

    Barney Frank knew about this for a year and now he’s wailing about it? What a con man he is.

    These bonuses were to keep employees in the company to keep it running. Isn’t that the intent of the bail out?

    These corrupt democrats are now acting like it’s some kind of surprise.

    This is a cover up for the real scandal where AIG gave nearly 100 billion of the bail out money to other banks. And all the politicians care about is a few million to employees of AIG? What a scam.

    I seriously doubt any intelligent people believe these lying democrats anymore. Obama’s approval rating is falling faster than the stock market he caused to plummet with his spending sprees to pay back all his rich liberal fat-cats.
