Don't let the door hit you in the butt. I am so sick of hearing this key employee baloney. Most of them should have been fired long ago. Fannie and Freddie are just revolving doors for government wannabes either coming or going. Brain washed slackers or affirmative action types.

Just proves what you and your kind are all about !

How many days left until the next election?

For the first time in 49 years I feel embarrassed to be an American. I hope all of you idiots that elected these fools up on the hill are happy.

The failures of Fannie and Freddie were the logical consequence of the underwriting policies forced upon them by Congress. Their executives were spectacularly successful at implementing those policies, and should therefore reap the rewards of their efforts. "Meritocracy" re-defined for the Obama era of American politics.

In the current economy and unemployment rate, are high-lvl exec. employees really threatening to leave the company and go work somewhere else? Where are they going to work? I didn't know the job market was looking for them...retention bonuses, who made up this balogna

...if government interference is awful, then it is awful all the time. Since AIG welcomed government intervention into their enterprise, they have to take the bad with the good. Maybe next time, these companies will say no to bailouts and take their chances in bankruptcy court.

Look for multiple applications from those at AIG whose bonuses were stolen by the government. Whether we agree with them or not, the government does not have the constitutional right to interfer. They approved the bailout "as is" and should quit complaining.

I find it very convenient that as these bonus' are getting ready to be paid that the President is now trying to "quell the fire he stoked over AIG bonus'" The market is up no need for a distraction right now I guess.

TAX THEM AT 90%!!!! Those EVIL AIG, I mean FANNIE AND FREDDIE NEED TO BE PUNISHED!! Congress is now the JUDGE AND JURY. They can use their power to TAX to PUNISH. Companies that reseive Bailouts have NO right to use MY TAX dollars to pay these EVIL AIG, I mean Fannie and Freddie Bounses!!! These people ran the company in to the ground. IT's just not fair! DEATH TO THE AIG CEO'S, Sorry - I mean DEATH TO THE Fannie and Freddie CEO's!!!


The point is - Congress and the people have double standards when it comes to THE LAW. Congress is out of control and have NO idea what their JOB really is anymore. It is SAD, Very sad!

But Fannie and Freddie are so important to growing the government, so of course we can't take away their bonuses. Only the evil filthy greedy disgusting rich get obliterated by the mobs of slobbering liberals with torches and pitchforks.

You asked why the same doesn't apply to AIG?

AIG isn't in bed with Barney Frank doing the nasty.

Unbelievable. Their hypocrisy knows no bounds.
