so what ? Bush Junior got over 200,000 dollars form AIG as well. it amazes me how some of these sheisty GNP people pathetically attempt to find some minuscule fault of for obama.

the moodies, the standard poors, the fitch, etc... Banks and institutions cannot invest in anything but the best rated securities (ie AAA). AIG cannot insure nothing but the best securities (ie. AAA). It's these agencies who sold themselves to the special interests, and started labeling...

at least we know obama is just as outraged as we are....something will be done for sure. remember folks, this ain't that idiot bush in office.

ok here's the thing a lot of u are not looking at. aside from the 170 million in plan for aig employee bonuses, all the 100+ billions of dollars did not go to AIG, but to parties that AIG owes money to due to insuring the CDO's. A lot of COUNTRIES, BANKS, institutions all over the world...

yea but these benchmarks were based on worthless CDO's....CDO's these people at AIG knew were junk......CDO's written just so they can get a fat commission check. sorry but all bonus contracts are OFF, and any JURY at any court would believe so as well.

after Stewart made him look the fool. the guy has zero credibility now, who's going to watch his annoying show now?

they r not giving it to the banks, this is money they owe to other institutions (such as banks) who bought insurance against their securities. the securities have gone sour and now AIG has got to pay up. The life of some of these companies that bought insurance depend on these payments.

they have been beat up badly, is it time to buy...Vegas isn't going anywhere....the very people who will benefit from all this stimulus are the ones who will blow it on vegas by splitting a pair of face cards.... what u guys think ?

they gotta do what the chinese do.....a single bullet to the head. no taxpayer money needed. Bill the bullet to his wife. these wimpy life sentences are meaningless, teaches nothing to the next aspiring fraudsters. something shocking has to be done to strike fear into aspiring thieves...

wow market shrugging off freddie news and GE credit cut by the pathetic standard and poors. rally looks to continue

it amazes me how TRENDY being short has become.....all that money they printed will be used for fire in the white house fireplace. SHORT AT WILL.

there is a youtube video of george bush jr back in 2002-2003...post 911. on this news coverage, with logos of fannie and freddie behind him, he specifically says that it was time for the under-privileged and minority to have a chance at owning a home.

it's funny, even the laundrymat attendant thinks the market is going to continue down. the banks are the ones who bought for cheap the past few days and the banks are going to drive it back up !!

I'm in this bear market rally, but we all know it's a "BEAR" market rally.

even Marc Faber of the doom and gloom report is turning bullish !!!! this guys is the bear of all bears !!!

let's not also forget the stress test results, some of the gov't officials have already stated that the results will be positively surprising. the STRESS test results will once and for all, end all the rumors and separate the good banks from the junk. as of now, a lot of it is based on...

question on Mark to Market...are the banks being forced to mark their foreclosed assets to ZERO? or at a ridiculous fire sale price? or retail market price ? does mark to market mean "mark to zero" if the home is foreclosed and doesn't have a buyer ?

wow it's going nuts!

GE so bad, I just don't understand why Wells Fargo, JP morgan and the like have been loading up on GE stock. anyone care to share their opinions ?

the whole bailout crisis is a big freaking joke, why do they even bother counting the money at this point ? just print whatever they need, or whoever needs. if the AIG bailouts are a necessary thing to do, then whoever responsible for the mess should have their entire worth be taken away...
