So let me get this straight. AIG supports Senator Obama so he can run for President by paying over $100 grand. Then President Obama gets into office and he and Senator Dodd (who also got paid over $100 grand by AIG) fork over billions of dollars of OUR money to AIG, who then pays out million dollar bonuses to their top people (73 in all). See how easy it is to get rich if you are connected to politicians in DC?

where to start...
first, nobody was "paid...by AIG", any campaign contributions were made by individuals who may have been employed by AIG.
second, there were campaign contributions by AIG employees to a very diverse group of candidates, inc obama, clinton, mccain, romney, huckabee, and even ron paul.
third, the whole direction of the article is flat out wrong, the "billions of dollars of OUR money to AIG" was done by the BUSH ADMINISTRATION!
jeez, if you're going to be bitching about the AIG money at least be truthful about the facts.
