Like I said, I'm a liberal, but the populist hypocrisy has got to stop.
If you're pissed off about the government bailing out banks and AIG, then you also have to be pissed off about the programs that allow people who are behind on their house payments to avoid foreclosure.
You can't have it both ways.

I personally sympathize with him and what he said. First, the "problem" is one small division of a massive company and anyone that works for the whole company suddenly has AIDS.
Second... the "problem" isn't AIG and "AIG" wasn't the only one paying employees retention bonuses and all the other banks, VP's, CEO's etc slipped quietly under the radar because it wasn't politically convenient to attack them to direct attention away from everything else going on
