It is incredible that these two claim that they did not know anything about the AIG bonuses. Matt Taibbi just reported his investigation that Geithner and Dodd have known since January 2009 about these AIG bonuses. I give a pass to President Obama since he has not been well-served by Geithner...but Geithner, being the Head of the NY fed knew, arranged and supervised Bush's first bailout of AIG last fall. Now i understand why there were questions about him when then President-elect Obama nominated him for treasury but our chance to block him was during his Tax-evasion scandal before he was confirmed. So, you may call it Monday morning quarterbacking, but if you read Taibbi's investigative report you will be shocked about this despicable AIG affaire. The honorable thing to do for Geithner is to resign so that Obama can get a fresh start at Treasury.
Now, Christopher Dodd personally irritates me. I have not liked him much as my Senator and definitely had no confidence in him after the Countrywide scandal. And by the way, there will be an "investigative" series by Chis Hansen (Dateline) about the toxic loans and the contributions of Countrywide to the collapse of the mortgage-housing in the USA- supposedly lending millions of dollars to people who had reported negative incomes and having their mortgage officers flat-out lie in the applications for loans...Anyway, Chris Dodd also has known since January about this AIG thing and now is acting upset (faux outrage) and is trying to shift the blame to Obama. What's wrong with Connecticut? We probably have the two worst Senators in the USA, LieberRat and Doddo Bird. :mad:
So, hopefully we can fix Dodd in Connecticut and throw him out of office in 2010 (and Joe you're gone in 2012, too) but Geithner is not inspiring any confidence and needs to step down...
