The bully pulpit...

[Henry Hawk]

talk about unconstituional..........where is the outrage?.....

the dems was the ones that was incompetent for passing a bill that allows AIG bonuses...

THEN they decided to tax  these guys...95%....to get back the mistake THEY made...

where does the BUCK STOP!!??    is Mr. Obama going to allow THIS?   

everybody worried about the Bush administration..........THIS is something to worry about.....

the house passed this 328-93....in lightning speed!....folks, THIS is what I do not like about this administration....unless he steps in here and does the right thing.

[kimmi]

Are there 328 democrats in the house now?

What exactly is he supposed to step in and do?

there are 254 dems in there..........and HE is the President, he just said the BUCK stops with him.....he needs to address this...because, THIS is a mistake clearly made by Dodd and company...and NOW, they want to throw a TAX and recoup HIS mistake....

this is just wrong...period 

[kimmi]

You have a HE and a HIS in your response but I'm not sure which "he" you are talking about.   I'm not clear as to what you have a problem with or who it is exactly you have a problem with.

[Exterminator]

For crying out loud...you complain that they got the bonuses and now you're complaining because they're taking them back.  You just like to bitch.

sorry kimmi....it is a little wordy....but my biggest problem is with Dodd...but, I think Obama has every chance in the world to do the RIGHT thing and speak out against this.....

let me ask you...first of all, can you see where Dodd is wrong, and where congress is wrong for passing such a bill, because of their very own mistake?...

[kimmi]

I don't like a bill that over taxes bonuses but it is like that now anyway.  I guess I would be a little more pissed if my bonus was more than $1500 a year when EARNED. 

They all screwed up.  Let them sort it out.  As long as they aren't knocking at my door to buck up, I don't care how they fix it.

Well Henry like Nancy Pelosi said, they got elected and they can do what ever they want and there is nothing we can do about it...At least until election time rolls around again.     Before ya'll go gettin' in an uproar I'm talking about those idiots in Congress not your wonderful savior....and yes I'm including some Republicans in that too. 

[Henry Hawk]

CONGRESS SCREWED UP...yeah, I think the bonuses may be wrong...but that deal was already done....

and the way congress is trying to fix it is wrong.....let's just pose a tax on whatever we want for as much as we want with NO oversight committee or anything....c'mon EX, you know this is wrong.

[kimmi]

When did Pelosi say those words?

exactly!....me

kimmi, so you don't care how unethical congress gets, just so it does not come out of your pocketbook?

[kimmi]

Henry all of government is freaking unethical!!  Why should this shock you?  Why does anything that government, big business execs, billionaires, foreigners, etc... surprise you?  Everyone who has money has their hand in someone elses pocket.  Until us poor folks stop fighting the my rich guy is better than your rich guy fight, it isn't going to change.

so when they do something wrong or we disagree with, we should just sit back and say...oh well?

NOPE, I am going to be on it like stink like poo....Bush was attacked for EVERYTHING...I'm not just talking about Obama here.......I'm sick to death of congress.....republicans AND democrats....

THIS IS WRONG!..i'm just pointing out my opinion on what is happening...and I will continue to do so, when I see it.

[kimmi]

So by bitching on a forum you are doing something?  I'm sorry that is about as useful as herpes when it comes to fixing the economic situation that the US is in.  Have fun with that and I hope you see results. 

[Exterminator]

....c'mon EX, you know this is wrong.

I have no problem with it whatsoever.  Those people on Wall Street produce nothing and their greed is the direct cause of our economic problems.  Giving the taxpayers' money to the very people responsible for abusing the securities market and causing AIG's collapse is obscene and I don't care what they have to do to get it back.
