Do poorly performing or bankrupt companies pay out bonuses (regardless of contracts)? Why not let them just go under? Also, wasn't the AIG bailout initiated during GW Bush's term? Why then is the GOP-eaning Washington post (and MSNBC) blaming it entirely on Obama by gleefully declaring that "AIG is depleting Obama's poitical capital"? Which suvery/Opinion poll have they conducted to come to that conclusion?

Daily Horoscope for May 23

Scorpio

You're in a very romantic and sentimental state today. You're also feeling quite sensitive and vulnerable, so you won't want to be around anyone you find abrasive or aggressive. If you meet someone for the first time now you'll think they're wonderful and your relationship will always involve putting them on a pedestal. But don't be too idealistic. They are human, remember!
