What do you mean spam? You must think any article that does not paint your saviour in a favorable light is spam? I read it and I believe it too. Senator Dodd and Senator Obama both received more campaign money from AIG than anyone else. Get over it!

Obama is USELESS without the teleprompter...just another idiot puppet. I saw this early on. Get away from mainstream media and do your own research.

Another anonymous, inane, hit and run, mental midget flamer Druggie dittohead with nothing but puppycr@rp to offer. More proof Topix & SFNM SUX.

How come so many of these wingnuts are from Los Alamos?

BTW: Obama has never taken a dime from AIG as alleged by the April Fool mor0n in the link.

You know how dumb the comments have to be when they have to go to such a false, yet trivial point about a damn telepromter. Anytime anyone mentions the telepromter as a negative, you know beyond a shadow of doubt they are dittohead mor0ns.

ARTICLE? It was a friggin' one paragraph letter to the editor from a misinformed dittohead regurgitating the Reich-wing LIE about Dodd "adding a last-minute amendment making it OK for AIG employees to get their bonuses." ("Dodd failed to halt bailout bonuses, but he did limit future ones" www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2... )

"During the 2008 election, presidential candidate Barack Obama received more than any other federal candidate, a total of $104,332,[from AIG employees] according to CRP's tabulation. Senate Banking Committee Chairman Chris Dodd, a Democrat, received the second-highest amount,$103,900. And Sen. John McCain, the Republican presidential nominee, received the third highest amount,$59,499.(These are donations from individual employees of the company or its political action committee, not donations from the company itself.)[Obama took no PAC funds.]

"AIG [EMPLOYEES] DOESN'T COME CLOSE TO MAKING THE LIST OF OBAMA'S TOP 20 SUPPORTERS. Employees of the U.S. government gave him more than four times the amount donated by employees of AIG, for example.

"And for what it's worth, President George W. Bush got $160,160 from AIG in 2004, more than Obama got in 2008." http://www.factcheck.org/askfactcheck/did_aig...

a letter to the editor from another newspaper! If you think you have something important to say try citing a real source.

Only a someone totally out of touch with reality could try to make that claim. Right now he is looking brilliant in a live press conference. The Europeans were sure as hell impressed at the last press conference.

But when all you got is petty inane and erroneous puppycr@p you are forced to use petty inane and erroneous puppycr@p. Keep repeating it and some of it will stick....that's the insidious power of the Big Lie technique.

It isn't just that. I havn't read all the posts yet so somebody else may have mentioned this already but as it turns out AIG insures the retirement benifits for everybody in congress.

LOL,,,,you are pathetic roy. The info was accurate. Dodd got the biggest contribution from AIG and Obama the second largest.

You should stick with disagreeing with things that aren't so easily verified unless you actualy enjoy looking like a fool.

Oh yea.....you might like to know Barney Franks boyfriend at Fannie Mae and everybody else there and at Freddie Mac all just got millions of dollars in bonuses from the govt.

Now lets see some outrage over that.

Babe process again he is a friggin'****! This has to be at least the 8th or 9th fake e-0mail he has relied on!

Did Congress bail out AIG because it insures members' pensions?
Have you checked this?

Remember when this economic crisis hit, and Congress let Bear Sterns go under, pushed a bunch of forced marriages between banks, etc.?

Then they bailed out AIG. At the time, I thought: "That's strange.
What does an insurance company have to do with this crisis?"

I think I just found the answer. Among other things, AIG INSURES THE PENSION TRUST OF THE UNITED STATES CONGRESS!!
No wonder they got bailed out right away!
A:

This widely e-mailed claim is a hoax. It actually was the Federal Reserve that bailed out AIG, not Congress. And federal pensions aren't insured by AIG or any other company.

You ignorant Reich-wing mor0n that makes normal mor0ns looks brilliant. AIG hasn't given a dime to Obama. If you had read the post you would realize it is ILLEGAL for a corporation to donate to political candidates. So verify your wildassed claim.

Jesus HChrist - You are 6 months late in bringing up the BSclaim about Frank. That was the Reich-wing talking point in early Oct last year. Proving once again you are a friggin' mor0n.

I Googled "Barney Frank, boyfriend, Fannie Mae" and had to go to the 52th link to find a reputable source and that turned out to be a blog on USNews and it was Barney Franks rebuttal to the blogs scurrilous attacks.

The 53rd link was a media matters discussion of Neil Boortz unsubstantiated attack: On his radio show, Neal Boortz baselessly suggested that Rep. Barney Frank "was protecting Fannie Mae for about seven or eight years in the 1990s because his lover, his boyfriend was working for Fannie Mae, pushing out these subprime mortgage packages." Boortz provided no evidence to support his suggestion that Frank allowed his personal relationship to affect his work in Congress. In fact, Frank repeatedly took actions over the years to strengthen oversight of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.http://mediamatters.org/it ems/200810100004
