To me, it's very disturbing when there's a group of people being vilified by the whole society. These trader's might not be the best in the world. They did take huge risks and are now wimping out of their obligations. However, they haven't killed anyone or committed any crime (except crimes that might be applied to their actions after the fact). I imagine this is something like the mood of the German people toward the Jews just before World War II - great sport and very cathartic unless you happened to be a Jew. <br> <br> It's also unsettling that the President of the U.S. would weigh in with the masses to personally attack a group of private citizens, especially a group that's already getting the crap kicked out of them from the whole country. Wouldn't it be more useful for him to focus his condemnation toward enemies of the country, not private citizens? As for the New York AG, AIG should tell him to go to h_ll. Where's the right to privacy? What about HR law and policy? Is there any doubt that the names and corresponding bonuses will be leaked within a day of Cuomo receiving that information? His job is to protect the citizens of NY, not persecute them.<br> <br> It's also chilling that the political class is willing to throw private citizen's under the bus to keep from having to accept accountability for the government's role in this mess while the complacent media ignore both governments mistakes in the crisis and the politicians game of blame the folks. For me, that's a much worse cover up than even Watergate.
