You dont seem to like Obama. Well, the world had to tolerate Bush for all those years, its your turn now. Besides, how does it affect you that AIG executive have lower salaries, they fuck up the economy and get saved by your goverment and still they get bonuses.

 

The world had to tolerate Bush hate threads for 8 years, it's your turn now.

As for the AIG bonuses, AIG had not choice. They were contractually obligated to reward those contracts (thanks to Dodd).

If I was president, I would not have bailed them out in the first place. I would have made them file bankruptcy, and the courts could have then regulated the hell out of them.

That's why bankruptcy exists, so government can bail out companies who can't make it on there own,  but in turn government gets to regulate how you run, so things like this don't happen. Just giving a corrupt company billions is a bad idea.

 

The world will keep hating Bush for long time, just as Nixon. And I doubt many will follow your anti Obama threads, I mean, the only ones who dislike Obama are Republicans, to the rest of the world or they like him or are indifferent. And the world wont listen to what republicans have to say, I think we had enought of them in the 8 years of Bush administration. :P

I am not a Republican, I am a Libertarian. I didn't like Bush much either, but his faults were not to try and change what this country stands for, his faults was he was just an idiot.

Presidents come and go. The purpose of our constitution, is to make sure we are not ruled by men, but ruled by law. The person in the office is of little concern to me. What the office stands for is.

Bush did not try to change what the constitution meant, he just tried to manipulate the hell out of it for his own good. Trying to break the rules is what all powerful men will do (why we need the constitution), just going and changing the rules however, is very dangerous (what Obama is doing).
