Charitably to the WH, AP puts this in the last sentences:

It [restrictions on use of the bailout money] was dropped without explanation in the final compromise on the economic stimulus measure, replaced by a less restrictive set of conditions backed by Sen. Christopher Dodd, D-Conn., and accepted by the White House.

OK, now the AP has to connect the dots to the moolah that AIG gave Dodd and Obama and we're in a real, old fashioned fat scandal.

Put your seatbelts on. This is going to be a bumpy ride for Hopeychangey.

More Obama cronies at the trough.

Still all gung-ho about taxes, Pepe?

Mr roT said...

More enemies of the people.

Wow! Good diggin', Mr Rot. You're ahead of the curve here, I was struggling all day long with some bitchy CD's that would not commute.

The executive compensation loophole was not merely a holdover from President Bush’s original bailout plan. It was laid out in clear statutory language that was enacted and signed by Democrats over vigorous Republican opposition. The provision was inserted in conference committee by Senate Banking Committee chairman Christopher Dodd (D., Conn.), one of the biggest beneficiaries of political contributions from AIG employees. As Royce noted, “Some Democrats were aware of the bonuses, and went out of their way to protect those bonuses.”

Man, oh man. We're becoming more and more like a big Venezuela or something. Of course, Pepe will bob and weave and spin and deflect, in the standard pinko way. Shameless.

Tecs, I am fighting like hell with a condition you might know about. I'll email it to you. I'm in bigger trouble than Dodd on this one.
