Yeh - don't blame me because I had nothing to do with the AIG scandal. President Obama says he should take the blame for any mistakes because ultimately he's the President ("even if I don't make them"). So I say, "let's blame President Obama."
Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner is being blamed. And he was the former chairman of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and worked closely with AIG...so some are saying he should have known about a bonus program that would be affected by the language Congress approved last month. Course this is the guy that forget to pay $35,000 in taxes and blamed TurboTax.
Sen. Chris Dodd of Connecticut, the Banking Committee chairman, is being blamed. He initially said he had nothing to do with watering down executive pay proposal and then acknowledged Wednesday night that he had agreed to do so. So he lied? "This is obviously a matter that should have been dealt with differently, but we are where we are," Dodd said.
Geithner has been in office since January and he's fucked up in a major way already. Dodd admits this AIG matter should have been dealt with differently - which begs the question, "why didn't you deal with it the right way in the first place, you dumb fucker!?"
And our President says he didn't know about the AIG bonuses but he'll take the blame for it -even though two of the people who were involved in organizing the bailout - Dodd and Geithner - ultimately report to the President. So then, isn't President Obama partly to blame because he SHOULD HAVE KNOWN about it?
