BURBANK, Calif. – President Barack Obama told Jay Leno on Thursday that he was stunned when he learned of the bonuses that bailed-out insurance giant AIG was paying its employees.
Obama told "The Tonight Show" host the payments raise moral and ethical problems — and vowed again to try to recoup the cash for taxpayers.
"We're going to do everything we can to get these bonuses back", he declared. More HERE.
And we're suppose to believe that?! The payment raises moral and ethical problems? When did they write the law to allow contracts between a company and their employees become null and void?
When Obama releases publicly all the names of those who gave money to his campaign, when he releases his real birth certificate, when he starts giving an explanation about why he kept 9,000 pork-barrel projects in the stimulus plan, and when he actually stays in Washington to work instead of flying all over the country and world using our hard earned money to pay for his photo ops while blasting executives for using private jets, and allowing those in congress to fly around using our money ...then maybe, I'll believe he cares about moral and ethical problems.
As far as the small business owner not getting shafted...pretty much everything I pay tax on has gone up in the past 2 months. And I'm not even close to a third of the way to bringing in the magical number of $250,000 dollars!
I'm all for change. But this certainly isn't the change that America or the world needs. I do realize though, just like all nations that choose to try their hand at allowing the government to overpower the people, sooner or later those governments fall. This time it just won't be our nation. It will be all the nations.
